The True Alpha of Lupine (Seraphina and Ronan) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Drowned in Desire

What just happened?

The river swallowed us whole in a blink as cold water surged over my skin, but I barely felt it. Not when his arms were still locked around me, not when his body shielded mine as we plunged deeper. My eyes opened to the blur of bubbles rising around us, light from the surface breaking through in fractured beams.

That was when I saw him.

Ronan’s face was so close to mine, his dark gaze burning even through the water. The world slowed, muted, leaving only the two of us suspended in the current. His steady hold on me never faltered, as if the river itself could not tear me away from him.

A part of me screamed to fight, to break free. But the spell of his ps hovering close to mine…it cracked me wide open. It was not until the heat of his hard chest pressed into mine, even against the cold water and it knocked me back into my senses.

My pulse thundered louder than the rushing current.

No.

The spell shattered in an instant. I shoved against his chest, breaking free of his grasp, the ache of the lost warmth hitting me sharper than the chill of the water. My body surged upward, muscles burning as I fought for the surface.

I broke through the surface with a gasp, dragging air into my burning lungs. My arms desperately thrashed against the current until I found the muddy bank and pulled myself out, sitting onto the damp grass.

Water streamed from my hair, running down my face as I coughed, my chest heaving with each desperate breath.

After a couple of seconds when I could finally breathe, I realized that my perfume was gone. My long hair was visible and my scent was no longer hidden. My eyes darted around and lips parted while behind me the water ripped again.

Ronan emerged slowly, rising from the river with deliberate ease. Looking wild and untouchable. His soaked shirt clung to every line of his chest and shoulders, the fabric nearly transparent under the moonlight. Droplets slid

down the strong cut of his jaw, dripping from the ends of his dark hair. Though his eyes…they were solely fixed on me.

My heart raced in my chest the closer he came. Ten days–ten days of effort spent avoiding him, of forcing distance between us, turned to ash in a heartbeat. I had not expected that he would do something this crazy.

“Have you lost your mind?!” I growled, only to gasp when his hand fisted in my hair, yanking me forward and crushing his lips to mine.

I froze instantly. My eyes flew wide, breath snagging in my throat. What did he just-

Shock jolted through me, but the taste of him, the raw heat of his mouth, scattered my thoughts into chaos. The world blurred around me, my mind blanked at his wildness as his mouth claimed me like I belonged to him. Heat surged through me, burning away the cold river clinging to my skin. My limbs grew heavy and I was about to close my eyes when I remembered I could not let this happen again.

My hand flew up and I shoved hard at his chest, nails digging into the soaked fabric of his shirt. He barely moved but I could break our lips apart, “What are you…”

My heart rate grew even wilder. If it continued I was going to lose this battle with myself. So I wriggled under him only to have him pressing all of his weight on me. When it happened I could feel every one of his angles just as he could my curves. I bit his tongue hard but instead of pulling away he met my gaze once and kissed me even harder.

It wasn’t gentle; it was a storm, relentless, demanding. His mouth moved over mine like he was punishing me but in his own way where I was diving into a forbidden pleasure, like he had waited too long, like my protests only fed the fire in him.
