PRIMAL

I ran through the halls, heart pounding, until I reached the maids’ quarters. My hands trembled as I slammed the door shut and locked it behind me. My chest rose and fell in frantic bursts, the echo of his voice still thrumming through my mind.

It couldn’t be real. It couldn’t.

The man from my dreams the phantom who haunted my nights and left me gasping awake he couldn’t exist beyond the veil of my imagination .

And yet, the scent that clung to the air told me otherwise.… I let my day dream take me away the heat that still burned under my skin thinking of him inside of me , this time it wasn’t just darkness I could make out his face , the scent of my arrousal snapped me out of it , I needed something to take the edge off

I pressed my palms against the cool wall, trying to steady my breath. Every thought of him sent shivers down my spine his touch, his command, the power he held over me. The memory of his voice was a chain around my soul, pulling tighter with every heartbeat.

I lay back on my bed and slowly hiked my dress up , I was dripping , fingers drenched in my sweet arousal , as I rubbed to the thought of him , I bit down on my blanket careful to not make a noise my feet curling as I was reaching my release I just want to cum for him , to have him take me to claim me to mark me his , peak hitting climax was on the brink before a knock on the door shocked me shattered silence , I leaped myself up fixing my dress making myself presentable like I wasn’t just drilling myself dripping arousal down my thighs before another loud knock came , louder , more commanding, my breath hitched , anger pent up at the thought of someone stopping me releasing my frustration I snarled “ what is it “ I snapped voice sharp with nerves before aggressively opening my door.

When I yanked the door open my , breath caught

He stood there .

Towering. Dominant. Eyes dark and glimmering like polished onyx, locking onto mine as though they’d known me forever. The very air around him bent, thick with authority and raw, primal strength.

“For a moment, neither of us spoke. The world seemed to still, everything narrowing to the space between us.

“You’re coming with me, little wolf,” he said, his voice deep enough to stir something buried within me.

Relief should have flooded me but anger came instead. My jaw tightened, a snarl curling from my throat. “You don’t get to tell me what to do. I don’t care who you think you are.”

His expression didn’t change. Calm. Controlled. Infuriating.

I turned as if to leave, but in a blur of movement, he had me spun around, his hand at my waist, breath hot against my ear. Power radiated off him in waves, intoxicating, terrifying.

“You’re lucky you’re my mate,” he growled lowly, his voice brushing down my spine like smoke. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be showing this much restraint.”

My pulse stuttered. The truth of his words mate crashed through me like lightning.

He straightened, the tension in his jaw sharp enough to cut through steel. “Be ready,” he said finally, voice rough with command. “Pack your things. I have business to finish with your Alpha before we leave.”

With a nod, he gestured to a tall, rugged man waiting behind him his Beta, perhaps to help me gather my few belongings. My world fit into a single suitcase. The perks of being unwanted.

But instead of heading for the door as instructed, I turned sharply down the corridor toward the Alpha’s office, fire surging through my veins.

If I was leaving this pack, I was damn well leaving with answers.
