Chapter 635 Do Not Shift

“Emma… I…”

Drake wanted her to ask him to stay.

God, he wanted that more than anything.

But he knew he had no right to ask. No reason she would keep him.

“Let go of me first.”

Emma pushed lightly at his chest.

She wasn’t naive. She knew exactly how he felt.

Drake pressed his lips together. Even though it took effort, he released her.

“Emma, actually-”

Before she could finish, a figure came stumbling into the alley.

“Help!”

It was a female.

Several males were chasing her.

On Celestara Gala night? Males daring to harass a female?

Emma stepped forward immediately.

Drake caught her wrist. “They’re stray therians. I’ll handle it. No need to dirty your hands.”

She’d heard of stray therians before–lawless, unregistered rogues.

Drake moved toward them.

Emma hurried to help the trembling female.

“Are you okay?”

“Thank you-”

The female let Emma help her up.

Then suddenly, she smiled.

Something in Emma’s chest dropped.

Without hesitation, her power condensed into a blade of lightning in her palm. She drove it straight through the female’s body.

But she was a fraction of a second too slow.

As she struck, the female jerked her arm upward and flung a cloud of powder into Emma’s face.

Drake had just finished eliminating the stray therians.

When he turned and saw the dying female scatter powder at Emma-

His heart dropped.

“Emma! Don’t breathe!”

Too late.

She’d already inhaled several breaths.

Her throat burned instantly as she immediately coughed. “What the hell is this?” she rasped, coughing hard, tears springing to her eyes. “Why is it so-”

Drake was at her side in an instant, pulling her close.

“How do you feel?”

“What is that stuff?” she demanded weakly. “It burns-”

His jaw tightened. “It’s designed for females.”

He scooped her into his arms. “I’m taking you to Lucien now.”

As he lifted her, Emma felt the dizziness begin.

“What kind of drug is it…”

Her head swam. Heat began spreading through her body, subtle but unmistakable.

Drake moved quickly through the alley.

“It induces heat,” he said grimly. “Arousal.”

She had guessed as much the moment the warmth began to coil inside her.

For a second, she’d thought it was some kind of alien pepper powder.

Apparently, she still had a lot to learn.

“Emma, hold on,” Drake said urgently. “I’ll get you to Lucien.”

She trusted Drake.

He might have been arrogant, cold, and proud. But his integrity? That was ironclad.

“Okay…” she murmured weakly against his chest.

They exited the alley.

The street was completely packed with wall–to–wall bodies.

Drake’s face hardened.

There was no way he could push through this fast enough on foot.

He needed to shift.

Only in his beast form could he move quickly enough to find Lucien.

But tonight was the Celestara Gala.

Shifting was forbidden.

The entire capital was covered in ancient suppression fields–ground and sky alike.

If a therian transformed, the barriers would strike instantly.

Lethal force.

It was designed to protect females.

A male in beast form could overpower one too easily.

Drake looked down at Emma.

Her face was flushed now. Her breathing was uneven.

He didn’t care anymore.

He knew she didn’t love him, so he would not take advantage of her like this.

This drug was aggressive. She needed to be with Lucien as soon as possible.
