Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Third Person POV

“No,” she whispered as he finally finished with her, her body shaking as she sat back up, and he eyed her knowingly. “It can’t be. You’re not my…” she choked out, unable to bring herself to say the words.

It was unfathomable, and yet, her wolf continued to entertain the idea, making Marissa feel sick to her stomach.

Of all the things she’d dreamed her one true mate might be, excluding Hades, who wasn’t her fated, she’d never even entertained the idea that it would be a hunter. A human no less. It happened, but it was rare. She felt as though she was fated to have a miserable existence, trying not to cry at the world that was slowly/collapsing around her.

“Mate?” he supplied dryly, reaching over and pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, “you know better than I that you are.”

He was confident, even a little arrogant.

“But how?” she trembled, “you’re a hunter, not a shifter.”

“Your mother knew. You sensed me once,” he said calmly, “when we were close. You released some pheromones. I could smell your perfume a mile away. MaryAnne put two and two together and kept me from you on purpose, not wanting me to ruin her precious plans when it came to you marrying Hades. Now, it doesn’t matter, because you’ve confirmed it, princess, and if you think I’m going to let you go, you have another thing coming.”

It was a threat and a promise. She felt her breath hitch, felt panic begin to consume her.

“I could reject you,” she shouted out, desperation warring inside of her as she blurted the words out without thinking.

It was a big mistake.

He grabbed her by the throat, tightening his hands, causing her to choke. She spluttered. “You won’t,” he said ominously, “unless you want to die by my hands. In fact,” he breathed out, eyeing her very calmly as she stilled,” you’re going to bite me right now and claim me as your mate.”
