Chapter 7: Your Body Said You Liked It

Riley’s POV

I gasped, staring at him, my mind completely blank.

My mate…is Ezra Ravenshire???

No no no. No way. This had to be some sick joke.

Of all the wolves in the world, why did the Moon Goddess have to mate me with the one person I absolutely loathe?!

Suddenly he let out a growl and lunged at me. With one hand, he grabbed my throat and slammed me against a tree. His grip was like steel chains, squeezing the air right out of my lungs. I gasped.

“What the fuck is going on here Riley?!” he snarled.

“I–I don’t know…”

“Is this another one of your and your mother’s disgusting schemes? You two think this is how you can control me?” he shouted.

I choked out, “No–no! Why would I joke about my own matebond? I’m not fucking insane!”

“I absolutely despise you, Riley Monroe,” he said through gritted teeth, tightening his grip. “You, and your fake–ass mother–I can’t stand either of you! No way in hell I’m accepting someone like you as my mate.”

“W–Well… that makes two of us,” I gritted back.

In our world the Moon Goddess decided who mated with whom and it usually led to a happily ever after story. But with all due respect to the goddess, this was like the worst goddamn matchmaking in the world!

I mean, how could she bond two people who couldn’t stand each other? This just wasn’t going to work. No matter how strong

the matebond.

My face was turning blue. He loosened his grip, just a little. I finally caught my breath. “You… you know what you should do, right?”

His voice was cold. “What?”

“Reject me. NOW. And I’ll accept it right away. Then it’ll be over. No one even has to know we were ever mates.”

The sickest part? Only the male gets to issue the rejection. The female only has the right to accept it. It’s the dumbest, most sexist rule ever, contradicting to everything I believe in. Believe me, if I had the choice, I would’ve screarned the rejection the moment I smelled him.

He narrowed his eyes at me but said nothing.

“What are you waiting for? Go ahead. Say the word. Say I Ezra Ravenshire reject you Riley Monroe as my mate!” I pressed.

“Shut up,” he snapped. “I don’t like how eager you are about this.”

“For fuck’s sake, Ezra. Does my attitude really matter now?”

His large hand slid from my neck to my chin, cupping it easily. He leaned in, those gorgeous green eyes flicking down to my lips. I held my breath. OK now we were way too close.

“Your breathing just got faster,” he murmured, voice husky and rough.

“No. Don’t, Ezra…”

“You know, for someone I can’t stand, your scent smells very

nice.”

My head dropped back against the tree, my breath coming fast and shallow. His scent was everywhere, wrapping around me. I felt like I was burning. For him.

It’s even painful to fight the urges. “Stop it Ezra…S–stop! We can’t… I can’t—”

His lips crushed onto mine before I could finish that sentence.

His lips were hot. Burning. I let out a shocked gasp and he immediately pushed his tongue into my mouth. The kiss was rough. It felt like he wanted to own every inch of me. I tried to push him away but I couldn’t. He had one hand holding my chin so I couldn’t move, the other pinned my wrist. All I could do was tilt my head back and take it.

Shit. shit shit shit!

I was kissing Ezra. My stepbrother. The most arrogant, cruel, evil person on earth. The person I hated most in this world.

I absolutely hate this kiss. But my body felt strange. It felt like I was melting underneath him.

And eventually I stopped fighting. His scent clouded my thoughts. And before I realized it, I was kissing him back.

Before I passed out due to the lack of air, he pulled away slightly, just enough so I could breathe. Yet not too far away, his thumb was still stroking my flushed cheek.

“Don’t tell me that was your first kiss,” he chuckled.

“It wasn’t,” I snapped, breathless.

“Liar. You kiss like it is,” he mocked. “But I can tell you enjoyed it even with your pathetic little experience.”

“No! I hated it. You ambushed me. I didn’t even have time to react.”

He raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Oh really? Because your body tells a different story. I felt how fast your heart was racing. And at that last part you were absolutely kissing me back—”

I swung a fist at him, but he caught my wrist easily.

“What the hell do you want from me?!” I demanded, my voice shaking.

He stared at me with something dark and unreadable in his eyes—then he smiled.

“I just figured something out. I’m not going to reject you,” he said, fingers trailing down to my collarbone. “This matebond is actually perfect. It means you can’t leave me, can’t fight me. And I can do whatever I want with you.”
