“I’m more worried about you… Your father will start a war if you die on my watch.”
He tucks me closer, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me flush against his chest, only for me to gasp when I feel his shaft against my ass.
Oh, heck no!
“And she says she’s not a virgin,” he mocks.
“I’m not.” I lie, frowning, but I don’t struggle further, allowing him to enclose me in his muscular arms.
“Yeah, you are.”
“Am not.”
He laughs again but pulls away. His hand moves into my hair when he suddenly jerks my head back. He buries his nose in my neck before running it along the column of my throat to the side of my lips. I swallow at how close he is, and his eyes flicker.
“I can smell your innocence,” he murmurs. His lips so close they brush against mine when he smirks and his eyes flash to that of his beast.
My face heats at his words.
“That’s a good thing. I don’t understand why you are embarrassed,” he mutters, tucking my face back into his neck. “Now, rest. I’ve mindlinked my Beta already. They’re trying to get to us.”
“Finally.”
“Yes, but it might be a while. The entire building is on top of us.”
“What?” I groan.
“Sleep, don’t think about it,” he tells me, and I sigh but do as he says while wondering how my father is. I tried to mindlink him, but with my blood loss, it is like I can’t exert that kind of energy.
I have to admit, he smells good. I internally roll my eyes. Wow, focus girl. The severity of the situation settles in, and I become somber once more. It’s just his DNA in my system wreaking havoc on my hormones.
Please find us soon…
Chapter 2
I don’t know how long has passed, but my body is going numb. Zayn’s lips look a little blue, and even his body heat isn’t doing much to keep us warm now. He now observes me with something that looks like concern in his eyes. I think I imagine it because as soon as it comes, it is gone.
“Are you alright?” he asks. I nod. Though it’s obvious lying because my body is shaking like crazy.
He sighs, his breath fogging the air. “I’m going to shift into my wolf form. I’ll be able to keep you warm better.”
Seriously? Did he think of that now? “I’m glad you finally realized,” I scoff, not that the idea had come to me, either.
Suddenly, he grabs hold of my neck tightly. “Careful there, princess. If it weren’t for the fact that your father pays me for protection, I could fucking care less. But if you must know, our wolves aren’t human, or have you forgotten that? Your scent is driving my wolf mad, so don’t provoke him,” he snarls, pushing me off his lap roughly.
My heart thumps as I look at the man before me, surprised at his sudden behavior change. His eyes flash a shimmering black that burns to a bright silver.
“Wait!” I blurt, now worried his wolf will kill me. I’m Alpha blood, and his wolf is an Alpha. What if he thinks I’m a threat to him and mauls me?
“What, Cleo?” he growls.
“Maybe you shouldn’t shift? It was one thing for him to heal me while you had control, but you are giving him fullcontrol,” I tell him, and he rolls his eyes and his bones start snapping.
“At least tell me his name!” I blurt.
“Zarek,” Zayn tells me, and I swallow when he quickly shifts into his massive, black wolf.
He is huge, and his aura only seems to grow stronger in this form. He growls then stalks toward me, and I freeze, pressing against the wall as his wolf sniffs me.
