Chapter 197

You need someone standing beside you with a strong, stable wolf, not someone who’s going to hand the elders another reason to…”
He walked around the edge and now towards the side of the bed and I crawled back, trying to find more room but there was nothing except the bed’s headboard behind me.
“to…doubt you. Maybe you could announce you found your actual mate or something. Anyone with an actual functioning wolf would help your case more than I ever could”
I tried to scramble away and jump out of the bed but then his hand grabbed my wrist and he yanked me closer, pushing me down on the bed.
I let out a startled gasp as he leaned down, bringing his face close to mine, and whatever I’d been about to say next died completely in my throat.
The intensity in his eyes stole the air right out of my lungs.
I tried very hard not to breathe in his scent and not feel the way my pulse jumped from where he was touching me, holding me captive in his arm.
I let my gaze drop instead to the edge of the bandage peeking out from his sweater collar, and that served as a small reminder of exactly how close he’d come to not being here to have this argument with me at all.
“What did you just say?” he asked, low.
I gave him a nervous smile. “I was saying we should stop-”
He raised a hand and placed one finger against my lips, silencing me completely.
I stared at him, wide–eyed.
Don’t ever say that again,” his voice had dropped even lower now.
Confusion and something dangerously close to arousal warred in my chest, and I tamped the second feeling down hard, pressing forward around his finger.
“I’m just saying that a partner with a strong wolf would actually help your case…”
He leaned further onto the bed, and my back hit the pillows behind me, my face almost buried in them.
He was over me now, looming, and he caught both my wrists and pinned them above my head in one smooth motion.
“Stop talking,” he ordered.
‘Connor, L…”
He growled low, right beside my ear, and the sound vibrated through all of me,
“So, let me get this straight.” His mouth was still closer to my ear.
“You want me to choose another girl to stand beside me, another girl for me to touch and kiss…”
“What?”

couldn’t bear to look him in the eye so I looked away,
Either” I answered in a barely audible voice.
“Really? Didn’t the doctor tell you your wolf was sending the scent only in my direction because she thought I was the best match for her”
I–opened and closed my mouth uselessly.
“So who would be responsible if your wolf suddenly awakened and tore off the girl’s head for breathing the same air as me?”
blinked.
Are you trying to talk me out of this or being a narcissist?”

His voice had dropped into something rougher now, edged with a possessiveness I’d never heard from him quite this openly
before.
“If you ever suggest we stop this again, I will make sure no amount of medication keeps you or your wolf from wanting me.”
The raw warning in his voice, in his eyes, stole what little breath I had left.
“I will expose the very secret you were dying to keep buried all this time, tease, taunt and make you crave me so bad, you will lose your calm in public.”
“No….” I shivered as he leaned on me again.
His mouth was close enough that I could feel his breath against my lips, and my heart was racing so hard I was certain he could hear it, my whole body coiled tight with anticipation.
I thought he was going to kiss me.
Goddess help me, I wanted him to.
“This is…blackmail” I managed and his hand grabbed my wrists possessively, pulling me even closer to him.
I looked up to see his eyes gleaming with a touch of irritation and barely masked hunger.
“Dont ever try to run from me again, Speckles. I didn’t come so far to drop the act in the middle. We are going to be together until the end of it. And if you ever suggest something so outrageous again…”
He trailed off and I shivered in anticipation, my body arching into him.
“… the bully from your past will resurface but the only difference will be that you would still beg for his touch”
It had barely been hours since he’d claimed me thoroughly enough to leave marks I was still sore from.
Yet some reckless, wolf–driven part of me wanted him again anyway, without a care of what was at stake.
With that warning, he slowly straightened and he let his gaze roam over me lazily.
I was all hot and worked up, my cheeks flaming and every part of my body screaming for me to just grab him and finish what he didn’t want to start.
He looked down at me and dragged his free hand down my arm in a slow and deliberate way, teasing me.
