He grasped her shoulder and turned her around. That s when he realized she shook
with rage. She slapped his arm off her shoulder.
You come to me, seduce me, offer me what I ve always fantasized about, and then
announce you are going to challenge our pack leader. She barely whispered, her body
shaking more with fury with every word. It s a fight to the death, Bruno. How dare
you!
He d offered her what she d always fantasized about? The wall of worry that had
grown hard and rough inside him shattered quickly, almost making him dizzy. He
grabbed her hand that had just slapped him, holding it between them. He squeezed
when she tried to pull free.
There are always dangers in life, he told her, pinning her gaze. She d hear him,
and stand by his side. It had to be like this, or their mating would never hold. I will not
die in this challenge. We ll be triumphant and the werewolves of Malta will grow
strong and gain respect with me as their leader.
So now you see the future too? She quit trying to pull her hand free. Bruno, I
understand that you wish to lead the pack. You ve made that clear. I guess it s sinking
in now. You ve offered me what I ve always dreamed about having you. The thought
of that dream being yanked away if you don t survive the challenge&
Her anger faded to fear. Fear for him. He d given himself to her. And as he d
thought, she d wanted him. Now she worried she d lose him. She breathed heavily, her
lips parting, full and dark like her caramel skin. Long lashes fluttered over her black
eyes, and he sensed the change growing inside her as she fought to keep strong
emotions from taking over.
Her pain. Her newly accepted love for him shattered the wall of resistance she d
put up around her. It tumbled to pieces, exposing so many emotions to him that he
almost teetered from their power. She wanted him. She d howl for him. She d lay her
kill before him. And now she feared losing him.
I see you and me making this pack strong enough that new respect will be given to
Malta. You need to see that too, Renee. He yanked on her arm so that she stumbled
forward, her free hand bracing her against his chest. Her feelings let off powerful scents,
aromas she was too upset to conceal from him. He lifted her chin, letting his fingers
glide down her slender neck. My queen bitch will be strong, a leader to her pack. Have
no fear that I ll lose. That won t happen. I will not die tonight. You and I will mate, we ll
run together, we will hunt together, and be strong together. Tell me that s what you see
too.
She slowly licked her lips, her gaze hooded. She wouldn t look at him. He held her
tightly, making it impossible for her to move. They wouldn t leave this spot until she
knew in her heart that they returned to their pack mated, and ready to take on all the
challenges they would create.
I came here to figure out how to handle my sire. With that in my head, you dare to
throw a bone at me that might be larger than I can chew.
I have a feeling you could handle any bone I give you. He had no doubts.
She sucked in a breath, her anger fading but her fear still lingering in the air. I
don t want you to die, she whispered.
Then the feelings I ve suspected you held for me are real.
She did look up at him then. Slowly, her hand moved up his shoulder. Her touch
was like fire, erupting inside him. And the way she stared at him, hungry yet worried,
stirred the more primal side of him to life. He let go of her wrist and moved his hands
over her hair, holding her head so that she wouldn t look away. He could drown in that
sultry look of hers. God. He swore his little bitch was ready to fuck again. If only there
were time to fuck her right now. He d seal their fate so that all doubts disappeared.
She nibbled her lower lip, focusing on his chest. Mating is for life. Just because a
fantasy exists doesn t mean it will grow into love that will last a lifetime.
Yet you were ready to attack with tooth and claw at the thought of me
endangering my life.
She didn t answer right away. He brushed his lips over her forehead, simply
wanting to taste her. Filling his lungs with her scent would give him the strength he
needed to win this challenge. He d known he needed to mate with her before he
attacked for position of pack leader. Now he saw why. In spite of her claiming to be
unsure, she was the strongest bitch he d ever known. Willing to take on her own sire,
unafraid when Bruno had taken her on alone on the cliff, Renee possessed power that
matched his. No other werewolf would do for either of them. And with that knowledge
in his head, he d be triumphant, knowing that together they could have anything they
wanted.
She lifted her face, offering her mouth, which he greedily accepted. Nipping at her
lip, he then ran his tongue over the spot he d just bitten. She gasped, relaxing against
him, submitting to him.
