“No.” His voice was ice, his Alpha arrogance dripping from every word. “We’re not done here.”
“Oh, we’re done.” I grabbed him by the collar and threw him out with every hatred in my fiber. He tumbled on the grass, looking stunned, his pride bruised. He moved to retaliate, but I slammed the door in his face before he could.
I'm an idiot to think a flimsy door could stand against his monstrous strength, but I wasn't in my right mind. I stood there, trembling, waiting for him to break it down, but to my relief, he left before things got even uglier between us.
Even with him gone, I couldn’t calm down. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating me. My chest tightened with every breath until I couldn’t take it anymore. Without a second thought, I bolted for the backyard, shifting into my wolf, and tore into the woods. I ran like a mad dog, my heart pounding, and lungs burning, but I didn’t care. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to stop.
What had I done to deserve this? Was it so wrong to dream of marrying my mate? How could the moon goddess be so damn cruel?
