Rejected by Her Mate Claimed by Four Alphas novel Chapter 206

“Maybe I don’t want to use it.”

“Don’t you?” His face was closer now, close enough that I could feel his breath on my skin. “You felt what you were capable of during that fight. The strength, the power, the complete certainty of your victory. That was just a taste of what you could achieve with proper guidance.”

My heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it. There was something about his presence, his

voice, that was making it hard to think clearly.

“You’re meant for something greater than managing pack politics, Clara.” His hand moved from my cheek to cup my face, his thumb brushing across my lower lip. “Let me show you what that could be.*

“Get your hands off me,” I said, but my voice came out weaker than I wanted, almost breathless.

“You can feel the truth in what I’m saying, can’t you? The pull between us, the power that recognizes like power?” His Alpha presence was pressing against me now, making my wolf want to submit even as my human mind fought against it.

My body was betraying me. Despite everything my mind was saying, I could feel myself responding to his touch, to the supernatural pull he was talking about. It felt like my body wasn’t entirely under my control

anymore.

“Your wolf knows,” he said softly, his eyes dark and intense. “Even if your human mind is fighting it, your wolf recognizes what I am to you.”

I wanted to push him away and walk out of there but…

I hated that he was right. I hated that my body was reacting to him without my permission, that some part of me was responding to whatever connection he was talking about.

He leaned in and kissed me before I could pull away. It was demanding, possessive, like he was staking a claim that went deeper than desire. His mouth was firm and sure, as if he had every right to be kissing me.

And I hated that part of me responded. There was something there, a recognition that felt bone–deep and undeniable. But it wasn’t love or even attraction. It was something more primal, like power calling to power, like my wolf recognizing something in his.

The kiss deepened, and I found myself kissing him back despite every rational thought screaming at me to

stop. I is hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer, and I could feel the wall rough against my back as he pressed me into it. The supernatural pull between us was growing stronger, making everything feel hazy

and dreamlike.

“You see?” he murmured against my lips, his voice rough with satisfaction. “Your body knows the truth

even when your mind fights it.”

I wanted to argue, wanted to push him away, but when his mouth moved to my neck, finding that sensitive spot just below my ear, a soft sound escaped me that I couldn’t take back. My hands, which should have been pushing him away, had somehow fisted in his shirt instead.

“This is what it feels like when power recognizes power,” he whispered against my skin, his breath hot and sending shivers down my spine. “When two Red Moon wolves find each other. The bonds, mate and all,
