“I decide what I do, and I’d never condone this—even if you weren’t my mate—I don’t care what the price is. I am not like them.”
He stared into my eyes like he could pull secrets out of my soul but finally nodded before turning back toward the moon. We stood in silence for a long time.
“When I find out who is doing this…”
“I know,” I whispered.
“You don’t know.” His words held power. “I will shred them, but it won’t be a quick death, Vinkettin. I will make them suffer. Make them pray to the Gods for death. Make them wish they’d never crossed me.”
I switched my grip to his shoulders, feeling like he would slip through my fingers any second. “I vow to help you.”
He nodded, and then the anger went out of him, leaving me with a shell of a man in my hands.
I pulled him into a hug, pressing my body flush to his.
He rubbed his face into my neck. “You look like shit.”
I glanced down at my torn clothes and laughed. “If you wouldn’t insist on running through the underbrush, I’d look a lot better.”
“You didn’t have to follow me.” He grabbed my hips, clinging to me, nails digging into my flesh, a hair away from breaking skin.
I hated what was going on, but I never wanted this part of him to change. A sick part of me loved that he needed me, that he gave over to that side of himself only for me.
“Yes, I did.” I kissed his temple. “I wouldn’t let you face this alone.”
Another silent moment passed with so many unspoken words exchanged.His grip tightened, his nails puncturing my skin.
The metallic scent hit my nose, and his eyes changed, returning to the onyx of his wolf. His canines elongated, and he snapped his teeth.“You shouldn’t have followed me.”
“I respectfully disagree.”I could feel the change in him. He needed an outlet, and I was going to be it. I was always going to be it for him.
“It’s not funny,” he said, and it was more growl than words, but the meaning was clear.
“No, not at all.” I brought my face to his. “But I’m not scared of you.”
He shoved me into a tree and snarled. “You should be.”
My heart picked up speed, but I held my place. “Many may be, but I’m no such thing, Dominic. I’ve known who you are since the first day I saw you.”
“I could rip your throat out right here.”
I brushed my lips over his, tongue finding his canines. “You may be an animal, my love, but I’m a monster with a lot more experience.”
He growled, but his tongue joined mine as he sealed his lips to mine. I grabbed the back of his head, holding him there, half kiss, half fight, and I was more than okay with it. I flipped us, slamming him into the tree while forcing a knee between his thighs and prying them open. His grip on my hips loosened, and he ripped the remainder of the torn fabric from my chest.
“I happened to like that shirt,” I said into his mouth, reaching between us.
He grabbed my wrist, stopping my hand before it reached his cock. “You don’t get to play while you still have clothes on.”
His free hand grabbed my belt, opening the buckle. An erotic sound, and it had my cock aching with every beat of my heart. He freed it from my slacks and discarded it. He took his time with my pants, as tattered as they were, like he was opening a fancy package and wanted to savor every moment.
I fisted my hand in his hair. “Hurry it up.”
“So impatient. And I thought I was the animal.” He freed my cock and leaned back, eyes cast down between us to our throbbing cocks.
“You’d better fuck me before I change my mind.” His fingers closed around my ribs, nails biting into skin, urging me forward.
I rubbed my nose over his, a smirk curling over my lips. “Before you change your mind? I don’t think so.” Pressing forward, joining our bodies, I grabbed his thigh, guiding his leg around me.
