?Chapter 98:

“Yes, Alpha?” Her voice dripped with teasing sweetness, but that look—fuck—it was pure challenge.

The feeling shot straight to my cock. She lowered her head so her hardened nipples pressed firmly against my chest, and I swallowed hard, trying to rein in the primal urge ripping through me.

“Untie me, Jasmine,” I growled, giving her onest warning, onest chance to stop before Ipletely lost it. But her body pressed closer, her breasts ttening against my hard length, and fucking hell, I could feel her pussy heat through the thinyer of her panties.

But the little brat only moved closer, her body pressing down on me, her breasts squashed against my stiff cock. Fuck.

“What’s wrong, Alpha Ryder?” she purred, biting her bottom lip in the most sinful way, batting those innocent eyes at me. It was a game to her, but she had no idea she was ying with fire.

I gritted my teeth, my jaw tightening as I battled the urge to just break free and flip her onto her back. My patience was hanging by a thread, and I knew Ares was right there, waiting, pushing me toward the edge. Her hands caressed my arms, her fingers trailing over my skin like fire, sending shocks of excitement straight to my core.

Fuck, she was testing my limits, and she didn’t even know the half of it. She could tame me, maybe, but what about Ares? My beast, my darker side, was far from patient, and Jasmine’s wolf was nowhere near ready to handle what was about to be unleashed.

“Jasmine, stop,” I growled, but my voice was shaky. She wasn’t stopping. She wasn’t even slowing down.

And then… she fucking moaned.

That sound. Fuck.

A low, sensual moan left her lips, and it was over. That was it. Myst shred of control snapped like a twig underfoot. Normal people lost control in little bursts, but for me, it vanishedpletely in an instant. Ares surged forward, ready to take over.

“Get off me,” I snarled, my hands clenching into fists, my body trembling as the change threatened to break loose. She was pushing me too far.

Her eyes sparkled with pure mischief as she leaned in, her lips brushing against my ear, sending shivers down my spine. “What’s wrong, Ryder?” she teased, the tip of her tongue barely grazing my skin.

Fuck. She didn’t know what she was doing, or maybe she did, and that was the problem. She was pushing me to the brink, teasing the beast inside me, and I was about to break.

“Jasmine, get off!” My voice deepened, more guttural now, a harsh growl reverberating through the room.

But she didn’t listen. Her fingers danced lower, teasing my abs, her cold fingertips tracing a line of fire as they moved down to the waistband of my pants. Her hand hovered there, her lips curling into a smirk as she met my gaze.

“Fucking Moon Goddess, Jasmine,” I growled, but my words were useless against her. She was too far gone, caught up in her little game. And I was about to lose myself.

Ares roared inside my mind, demanding release, demanding I mark her, im her as mine. My body tensed, muscles straining as I fought the beast within.

Her fingers paused at my belt, her eyes flicking up to meet mine as she bit her lip. The look in her eyes was pure desire, lust mixing with the thrill of teasing me.

“Ryder?” Her voice wavered, a hint of uncertainty creeping in, but it was toote.

One swift motion, and the chair snapped beneath me. The restraints fell away like paper, and before she could even react, I had her.

I grabbed her waist, yanking her toward me, and my lips crashed down on hers. The kiss was explosive, violent, all-consuming. My teeth grazed her lips, tugging roughly as I devoured her. I tasted her blood, the metallic tang only spurring me on.
