Chapter 225

Zade’s eyes searched my face, and I could see him struggling with years of internalized shame and fear.
“I’m not going to force you to open up or love me,” I continued, even though saying the words felt like tearing my own heart out. But I had to say it. For so long, I thought bottling up myself would make me more likeable and I had hidden who I truly was and what I liked doing. But almost dying brought it to perspective for me. I didn’t want to live with someone who didn’t put me before everything else. I didn’t want to be a dirty secret. I didn’t want to go down in history as the man who tagged along Alpha Zade and his mate Luna Lynn. I wanted to be seen, to be wanted, to be desired. If not by him then by someone else.
“But I’m also not waiting for you any longer. You’re free to pursue whatever makes you happy, and I’m free to do the same.”
I turned to leave, needing to get out of this room before I said something I’d regret. “Maybe I should see if Xenois would be open to a threesome, I added with false lightness, trying to mask my hurt with humor.
I’d barely taken two steps toward the door when strong hands grabbed my shoulders and spun me around. Before I could process what was happening, Zade had pushed me back against his desk and crushed his lips against mine in a kiss that was desperate and possessive
and nothing like the careful, hesitant kiss we’d shared before.
I broke away in surprise, my heart hammering against my ribs. “Zade, what the hell*
But when I looked at him, his eyes had changed from their amber color to that dangerous red color that meant his wolf was very close to the surface. A low growl rumbled in his chest as he stared at me with an intensity that made my knees weak.
‘Do you like Xenois?” he demanded, his voice rough with possessiveness
I felt my face turn red at the direct question as he hit too close to the truth, and apparently my blush was answer enough because Zade’s grip on my shoulders tightened.
“You’re mine,” he growled, leaning down to bite at the sensitive skin of my neck, hard enough to leave a mark that I definitely won’t
be able to pass as a mosquito bite.
“Only mine. You can’t look at anyone else, can’t love anyone else.”
The feeling of his teeth against my throat sent fire racing through my veins, and I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped my lips. Zade responded to the sound, pulling me into another kiss that was all heat and arousal.
I found myself responding, getting lost in the feeling, my hands fisting in his shirt as he rocked his hardness against me which sent a shiver down my spine because I had never wanted something this badly before.. When another moan slipped out with slick gushing out of me, I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, suddenly remembering where we were.
“Someone might walk in,” I managed to say against his lips.
“Good,” Zade replied, his voice dark with possession as his hands worked at the buttons of my shirt, almost tearing it off as he tugged

it from my body and continued speaking. “I hope it’s Xenois. Then he’ll know not to touch mates that aren’t his.”
My shirt gave way under his impatient hands, and I realized that whatever internal battle Zade had been fighting with himself, his
wolf had apparently won.
And honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to complain about that outcome.
