Page 64 of The Wolf She Shouldn't Desire

He smirks at me. His feet spread apart slightly taking a stance as if he is preparing to attack me or preparing to fight me if I come at him. Whatever the reason, it has me on edge even more than before, and I go on the defensive.

“Nikolai told me what happened at Depraved earlier today.”

I simply stare back at him. No doubt the idiot went to him whining about the bitch that prevented him from beating on a wolf that had insulted him in some way that he deemed justifiable in trying to fight the wolf.

“I find it interesting that you continue to show the ways in which you favor the mangy mutts that are overtaking our city and refusing to give us the respect we are owed over your own kind.”

“I find it interesting that all your coven members like to run to you like a petulant child running to mommy to tattle first,so she will hear their story first and be more likely to believe them. The ass hat was picking a fight with the wolf claiming it was his bar when it’s not and caused a glass to shatter against my back when all I wanted was to enjoy my drink.”

“The wolf insulted him and didn’t belong there.” Zander’s tone is agitated.

I roll my eyes. “Your coven members need to learn to not get butt hurt over every little thing someone says to them. Tell them to stop being pussies and bitching that their feelings got hurt and grow some thicker skin. And Depraved is for everyone. Like I told him, it’s not a vampire exclusive club, and if he doesn’t like it, then he should find somewhere else to indulge in a drink or whatever he was doing there today.”

In a blink, Zander moves closer to me to where our noses are almost touching. We stare each other down, both of us unwilling to budge. “Nikolai had every right to challenge the wolf after he insulted him. They need to learn their place and give respect where it is due.”

“Get off your fucking ego filled horse, Zander. Nikolai is the last person I would give respect to, so I don’t blame the wolf for whatever he said to Nikolai. In fact, none of your coven or you have earned respect from wolves or vampires in this city. That’s why you’re grasping with all you have onto this bullshit marriage arrangement. The only way you will ever have even a sliver of respect or acknowledgment in this city is through your ties with my coven and even then, that won’t be earned. You honestly think this city will even give you the respect you are so desperately trying to claim after our marriage? It will continue to go all towards my coven and me. Not you!”

With my last word shouted at him and echoing off the walls of the alley, his hand lashes out and grips my throat. Pure rage radiates off him, and his face contorts with the emotioncoursing through him at my words. I knew my words would set him off, but I don’t care.

“You bitch! All high and mighty thinking you are better than everyone and consorting with the scum werewolves of this city. Might as well whore yourself out to them since you seem to love them so fucking much over your own kind.”

“We weren’t talking about them,” I gasp with what little air I can draw in with his hand tightening around my air way. “We were talking about you, your lacking, and how you have to ride my father and I’s coattails. Makes you fucking pathetic.”

The last of my words come out strangled as his hand grips tighter around my throat with every word I say, and I can feel his nails now digging into my skin. A little more and he will probably break the skin.

“You know I think I’ll forgo fucking you once we’re married. Don’t want to sully myself with a wolf loving skank anyway. No, I’m going to enjoy beating that fire out of you instead and training you to embrace the hatred towards the werewolves like all vampires naturally should. I’m going to break every bone in your body and every piece of your soul until you’re wishing for death.”

As he speaks, I feel his body shifting against me but can’t see what he is doing with the death grip he has on my throat that restricts any great movement of my head.

“In fact, why wait?” A sliver of dread and trepidation cracks through my anger towards him and slides down my spine. “I think we shall start our fun together now rather than later.”

A sharp sting followed by a burn in my thigh takes me by surprise for a second before I quickly start to become drowsy and can feel myself slowly slipping towards unconsciousness. The bastard just injected me with some kind of sedative! I give a little kick but can’t do more than that as I lose control of mybody. He releases his grip on my throat and lets me collapse to the dirty pavement with a hard thump.

“Night, night princess,” I hear Zander say through the fog.

Mentally, I reach out searching for help the only way I can.Danny!

Blackness consumes me completely though before I get a response or can determine if I was heard.

Chapter 27

“We need to double check the perimeter and work out more wolves being put on watch.”

“Yes, sir.”

The wolf walks off, and I run my hand through my hair. Two days I’ve been working with the pack that Zander and his assholes have been targeting to help them better protect and defend themselves and their home. They were seriously lacking in security and the foresight to anticipate attacks to the point it was concerning. Now though, they are a little more prepared.

I check my phone and frown. Still no response from Talia. I messaged her last night to see if I could see her tonight. A slight worry at the lack of response from her tries creeping in. I really hope she hasn’t gotten into her head and convinced herself what happened between us a few days ago was a mistake. Because I for damn sure am not thinking it was. The way we fit together and connected so effortlessly was damn perfect. No one has ever felt so damn good in my arms or felt so right. I’ve never come so hard either. Just thinking about the way she tasted on my tongue and fit around my cock like the best damn wet dream has my dick getting hard.

With a hard shake of my head, I block those thoughts off for now. I don’t need to be sporting a hard on right now. Not with all these wolves around me or while trying to focus onhelping them. I look back at my phone and furrow my brow at the sight of the same text thread with no response that I’ve been glimpsing at periodically all throughout the day.

Help this pack, and then worry about Talia.

My wolf prowls inside me like a caged animal. He’s conflicted and pissy too. He wants to help the wolves here just as much as me and is pissed at the vampires attacking them. However, at the same time, he wants to find Talia and reaffirm the connection between us as well as make sure she isn’t reverting back to how things were before I had her naked and screaming in her bed. Two days seems far longer than usual when it comes to being away from her, since we now know what its like to have every inch of her writhing beneath us.

Fucking quit it!I throw at my wolf. Idon’t need my dick getting hard right now. And stop with the agitated worrying that’s got you pacing.We’ll go look for her soon and make sure she isn’t regretting what happened the other night. I’m sure she’s just busy and hasn’t had a chance to respond. Nothing to worry about yet.
