I looked up and saw Grayson’s face, so grim it looked like it might drip storm clouds. His Alpha pheromones were heavy and suffocating, smelling of lightning and scorched earth. My wolf, Nala, lowered her head in my mind, sensing the sheer magnitude of his restraint–it was a thin thread ready to

I could try to argue, but no, just listen to me explain~” I rushed to clarify, my voice small against the roaring silence of his fury.

But Grayson didn’t say a word. He just scooped me up into his arms, his grip like iron bands, and strode towards the Cloud–runner.

The craft flew low, and below us, armed pack–warrior teams formed a tight, protective perimeter around the extraction zone, Grayson carried me deeper, step by step, into an underground stronghold.

Guards, many of them elite Alphas and Betas from his private force, lined both sides of our path. I buried my face in his chest, breathing in the scent of pedar and raw power. Being carried like this, under the watchful eyes of so many pack members, made me feel incredibly awkward. My wolf, however, was preening, enjoying the public display of our mate–bond.

1-1 just lost my strength for a moment. I can walk on my own now,” I whispered, tugging at his tactical vest.

But Grayson didn’t respond, the emergency spirit–lamps casting a stark, white glow that made his frozen face look even more terrifying. His eyes were no longer human, they were glowing with a predatory amber light. I knew he was furious, absolutely livid, and I stayed silent.

I just let him carry me, straight to a heavy stone door etched with protective runes at the very back of the den.

A loud bang!

He kicked the door open with one powerful swing, then used the back of his heel to slam it shut. The moment the door closed, the scent–lock engaged, and it automatically sealed.

black whirlpools, churning with a storm of suppressed Alpha fury.

His voice waste sandpaper grinding against stone. The journey had clearly only stoked a deeper, more dangerous fire within his wolf.

You’ve got some nerve, Isabella. To disobey me, to run off behind my back to a place this dangerous!”

Grayson’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at me, a low, displeased growl rumbling deep in his throat.

Hm?

That single syllable hit harder than everything he’d said before. It was a command, a demand for submission. I pressed my lips together. What I thought vere perfectly valid reasons now felt utterly weak and meaningless under the weight of his gaze.

You think you had everything under control? I don’t buy that excuse! Especially not after you just put yourself in such a dangerous situation!”

I’m sorry,” I said, my voice barely a whisper.“I was wrong.”

Grayson, who had clearly been gearing up for a fight with me, paused, taken aback by my soft apology. Then he let out a low laugh, but it was edged vith a bitter self–mockery and a simmering rage.

I don’t see any sign that you know you were wrong!”

He lunged forward, his hand tearing roughly at the sleeve where the silver projectile had grazed me. The scrapes and bruises stood out starkly on my

pale arm, and I saw his eyes narrow, his pupils slitting like a wolf’s. It was as if the sight physically pained him through our bond

His jaw tightened, and a wave of pure Alpha fury radiated off him. It was like he was about to explode. Then his gaze landed on the shallow scratch on my cheek, and his breathing grew suddenly heavy, his scent turning dark and musky.

I saw the unyielding fury in his eyes. Reaching up, I wrapped my arms around his waist, trying to soothe the beast. “I can really explain. I came for the K–7 mine, not just for your plan, but for mine too. The micro–healers need the special spirit–metal extracted from this mine, specifically the-

As my lips moved, I felt his gaze lock onto the shallow, stinging cut on my cheek. He suddenly leaned down, pressing closer to me. I thought he was going to “punish me again, so I quickly squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for his anger.

But his scorching lips didn’t meet mine. Instead, they pressed against that shallow cut. He didn’t kiss me. He used the tip of his tongue, lightly, tracing the wound, little by little.

The motion was tender, delicate, and I felt him tremble. My body instantly froze. A shiver, a potent tremor, shot straight from the base of my spine to the crown of my head. Nala whined in my head, her fur flattening in a mix of submission and arousal.

If he was angry, I could bear it. And yet, no matter how angry or out of control he became, I knew he would never actually hurt me. That wasn’t what I was afraid of.

But I was terrified of this–of his rage, bottled up and unexpressed, ultimately hurting him. That’s when real fear hit me, hot and stinging in my eyes. I was about to speak, but Grayson cut me off, leaning in close to my ear.

Do you have any idea what went through my head when I heard you were in R–Clan Territory, and that a rogue pack was after you?”

His lip’s pulled away from my cheek, pressing against my ear. His hot breath feathered over my skin, making my entire body tremble.

‘I was thinking, if I had arrived one step too late… if what I found was your corpse…”

His voice held an uncontrollable tremor, the sound of an Alpha facing the loss of his soul.

I’d probably wipe this territory clean off the map. Then, I’d follow you to the Great Spirit–Woods.”

Where I was, he would be. If I’d had an accident trying to find those supplies, his world would have shattered. He couldn’t have lived without his fated

mate.

My eyes burned, growing redder.“Grayson…”

Grayson lifted his head, his bloodshot, crimson eyes fixed intently on mine.

Today, you will be punished.”

Hearing him say he would punish me, I let out a small sigh of relief. But that relief was only half–formed when the sheer madness in his eyes terrified ne! A wave of dread washed over me.
