Wait, no. My vampire side was. Because… because…
V-venom,I thought.F-forced… H-he… heat…
My eyes tried to fly open but barely even fluttered. I couldn’t… I had no control… I…
He’s forcing you to go into heat,Lorcan surmised.
I know!I tried to snap back. But all that came out was a whimper. A needy fucking whimper.
Followed by a growl from my wolf.
And another bite from Fare, this one on my hip bone.
I jolted, the pain tearing through my senses and making me vibrate with furious need.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
I need… you’re scared… hurt. But you’re… Your mind… own.Fight…Sha… Escape…
His words came to me in pieces.
C-can’t…I tried to reply.Can’t hear…
You…
His voice disappeared, leaving me alone once more. My wolf huffed, irritated and determined, only for another shot of venom to shoot through my veins.
Gods!
Fare growled something in my ear, his knot pressing into my stomach.
Wrong. Mate.
Not. Mine.
Do. Not. Want.
A blast of compulsion threatened to undo my thoughts, to rewrite my desires.
Only for a low internal growl to take over my mind. The growl of a true Alpha. OfmyAlpha.
Shadow to your nest, he demanded.Shadow to your nest right fucking now.
My wolf perked up, responding to her chosen Alpha’s command.
Fare cursed.
And the world faded around me.
It was a blur of sights and smells and colors. Then the familiar perfume ofhomehit my nostrils.
“Kyra,” a male breathed.
Mymale.
My mate.
My Alpha.
