Half an hour later, the girls, a little tipsy, head to the dance floor and drag me along. Despite my recent promises to myself, I do take a sip of a cocktail. My body loosens slightly, but overall, I remain almost sober.

At first, I feel slightly awkward among the crowd, but with the girls beside me, by the middle of an energetic song, I’m dancing wholeheartedly with them. I like it! If I lived in the city and lived like ordinary people, I’d definitely be a party girl.

A few minutes later, Gustav joins us, making it even more fun. Honestly, I don’t want to, but my eyes can’t help but wander to the second floor. By the railing stands Robert, looking directly at me, and next to him, Alexander is animatedly telling him something. The music is so loud that nothing of their conversation can be heard.

After dancing for about an hour more, we return to our table, tired, to catch our breath and wet our throats. The girls eagerly grab another round of cocktails, laughing and chattering nonstop

    “Didn’t we… last night?” I manage to whisper, my words shaky. My head is spinning, thoughts dissolving in the haze — but I need to know.“No,” the werewolf growls softly against my ear, brushing his lips over my earlobe. “And for that, I deserve a monument for self-control.” His breath is hot, his voice low and rough. “Do you even know what it’s like—to feel your mate’s desire burning through you and still hold back?”The brunette keeps caressing me, his fingers exploring, his lips scattering kisses over my shoulders, my neck, my cheeks. My head falls back onto his shoulder, granting him full access as shivers race down my spine.“It was your wolf who took over completely,” he murmurs, his tone both firm and tender. “But I need you—your mind, your heart. I need to see your desire, to know that you truly understand who you belong to.”His words strike me deeply. He hadn’t given in last night. Despite everything, he held himself back… for me.And yet, maybe it would’ve been easier if I

    I feel so good—warm and cozy, as if I’m wrapped in a soft cocoon. But something isn’t right.I jerk my eyes open and freeze when I see a man’s tanned, bare chest. And I’m lying on it, his arms wrapped tightly around me in his sleep.From the scent alone, I know who it is—but still, I slowly lift my head just to be sure.Robert is sleeping peacefully.Then real horror hits me when I realize that I’m completely naked. My gaze flickers down over the sheets—and when I notice a very distinct “peak” rising under the blanket around Rob’s hips, I realize that he’s naked too.A wave of heat rushes through my body, followed instantly by panic. I swallow hard, trying to make sense of anything at all.Looking around, I take in the spacious room: a wardrobe, an armchair, a large window, a couple of nightstands. There’s a huge TV on the wall and a few shelves. I spot a door—probably leading to the bathroom.This doesn’t look like a hotel room. More like… someone’s apartment.Where am I?!And what h

    “Interesting — and why is that?”“I met my mate. The engagement must be called off.”My father’s eyes fill with anger. He’s very close with Arnold and values their friendship and the prospect of merging our companies.“Do you even understand what this could mean? Everyone knows about the engagement! Contracts and agreements are already signed! Do you want to make a fool out of me?” he explodes, his voice rising. “Who is she?!”“Elizabet.”“Arnold’s niece?” he repeats, incredulous. “As far as I know, they practically already chose a husband for her. He’s coming tomorrow to meet her,” he spits with malicious satisfaction. My fists clench until they hurt at hearing that. “He’ll meet my fists, if anything. Stop this nonsense. ‘She’s your mate,’ is it? You might throw away opportunities like that! Arnold’s brother’s business is in trouble right now — he needs a wealthy groom for his daughter to stay afloat. And why would we take on such dead weight? We can multiply our fortune many times o

    Elizabeth fell asleep almost instantly, right after she had relaxed completely. I stood there for a long moment, unable to take my eyes off her. Carefully, I dressed her again—slipping her tiny shorts and underwear back on. Somehow, even that felt unexpectedly intimate. Maybe I just liked touching her, no matter the reason.Not wanting her to sleep half the day away, I set an alarm on her phone. I wanted to see her at breakfast. I wondered if she’d remember anything—or if she would simply blame it all on the vivid imagination of a drunken mind. For a while longer, I watched her sleeping form before quietly leaving the room.Her scent, her soft sounds, her image—all of it lingered in my mind. When I finally reached my own room, I turned on the shower, trying to wash away the tension clawing inside me. I couldn’t remember the last time I had been so restless, so undone. Probably not since I was a teenager. But something about Eli simply knocked the ground out from under me, and I wasn’t

    Until, at one point, I sensed that something was wrong. My wolf tensed inside me, straining to break free. Fortunately, I was no longer a naive pup and could keep my beast under control. And then I realized the reason.Through the crowd of fat cats, my mate was walking straight toward us. She carried an incredibly pleasant citrus scent, truly radiant and youthful. She walked arm in arm with a true young playboy—the brother of my fiancée—and kept her gaze locked on me. We couldn’t look away from each other; she had recognized me. I must note, the girl was fire: composed, unflinching, and quickly regaining her poise. Now I saw her real eyes—clear sky blue. Incredible.Rage instantly surged through my veins when I noticed how comfortably she interacted with Gustav. She was of legal age, yes, but why had he brought her here?I was taken aback by the sudden jealousy displayed by my fiancée. So, this was her sister—Elizabeth. And apparently, their relationship wasn’t particularly close. At

    I keep running as fast as I can, running purely on adrenaline. My heart is pounding somewhere in my ears, threatening to burst right out of my chest. Running in heels is pure torture, but there’s absolutely no time to take them off.Robert isn’t chasing me yet — maybe he changed his mind? Or he’s just giving me a head start? Most likely the second. For his beast, this is all just a game — a hunt for fun. Which means if he’s giving me a head start, he already thinks he’s won. That I’m weak, that I won’t be able to escape or hide.That thought sets me on fire. Anger flares instantly. So that’s how little you think of me, huh? We’ll see about that. I suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to teach that arrogant bastard a lesson.I sprint as fast as I can toward the city park. It’s the middle of the night and there’s hardly a soul on the streets — the park is even quieter. Maybe I can hide there somewhere. Though, with his sense of smell, he’ll find me in no time. Not an option.The pond! Of
