Chapter 9
I’ve been holed up in the hotel for three days.[]
Pulled out my SIM card, deleted every social media app off my phone.[]
I spent three days lying around with no purpose.[]
When I finally dragged myself out of that hotel room, my eyes felt like they couldn’t even focus anymore.[]
I called a uber and had them take me to Zethar’s house.[]
The front grounds were trashed–torn red fabric everywhere, and someone had ripped down all the mating ceremony decorations, leaving them crumpled on the grass.
The house was completely empty, with clear signs of an Alpha rage–fit throughout.]
Furniture was overturned, shattered glass covered the marble floors.
Zethar had definitely
lost his shit in here. []
I tiptoed upstairs and started gathering my things.]
Since most of my stuff had been gifts from him anyway, I didn’t have much that was actually mine
One suitcase would do it.[]
to
take.
Coming down the stairs with my bag, I made eye contact with Zethar, who was flat on his back in the middle of the foyer.
His dark hair was all messed up, his clothes wrinkled and half–unbuttoned.[]
A cigar dangled from his fingers–he took a drag, then ground it out right on the expensive hardwood.[
That gorgeous, sharp face was half–hidden in cigarette smoke, giving him this beautiful, broken look.[]
My breath caught, and I tried to move faster down those stairs.
“Don’t leave…“[]
His voice was all gravelly as I stepped around him.]
I kept walking.
“I said don’t fucking leave!“]
He exploded upward, catching me in two long strides.
He kicked my suitcase clear across the room and grabbed my shoulder, turning me to face him.[]
Then, he kissed me with the pressure of an Alpha.[]
The nasty taste of whiskey and cigars invaded my mouth, and I started thrashing against him.[]

Chapter 9
Nothing worked–It was Alpha strength.
I was crying from frustration, and the second he let up, I slapped him across the face as hard as I
“Zethar! Let me go!”
He slowly turned his head back, those dark eyes flashing with something dangerous.
Next thing I knew, he’d scooped me up and thrown me over his shoulder.[]
He hauled me upstairs while I beat on his back–totally useless.[]
I was hit the red mattress hard.
While my head was still spinning, he shrugged off his jacket and pressed me.[]
His face was flushed from all the drinking.Those pale fingers wiped at my tears.
Voice all rough“Laura, what Alpha doesn’t have side pieces? I’m not some monk.[]
You didn’t need to blow this whole thing up, trash our mating, destroy everything we built.[]
Yeah, I said I can’t stick to just you in bed.[]
could.
But I also said I love you, that you’re my chosen mate. That I’d protect you and bond with you for life.]
Why are you ignoring that part?“]
The tears just wouldn’t stop.
How the hell did I fall for this asshole?]
I looked at him with pure hatred“Zethar, you’re disgusting! You make me sick![]
Get away from me! I never want to see you again!”
His jaw tightened, annoyed.[]
After a long pause, his mouth twisted into this sick smile.
“Once you’re carrying my pup, you won’t be escape so quickly.“[]
Laura, let’s have a pup…
Pure terror shot through my veins.
The second his full weight came down on me, I fought like my life depended on it.]
“Zethar?”
A guy’s voice echoed from downstairs.[]
It kept calling–definitely Vesper.]
“Yo, Zethar! Where the hell are you? Luna Rowena’s been calling me!”

Zethar frozed.
I used that split second to break free from under him and ran barefoot across the cold floor as fast as I could.[]
I slammed into Vesper in the doorway but didn’t stop running.[]
Down in the foyer, I looked back once.[]
Zethar wasn’t following, so I grabbed my suitcase and sprinted to my car.

I floored it, my heart still pounding as I put several hundred miles between us before slowing down.[]
