His gaze searched my face, like he was looking for any sign I wasn't myself, before he swallowed hard. "Then tell me who I am."
I held his stare. "Drake Dawson. My mate. The boy I hate more than anyone in this pack."
His jaw flexed.
"And you still want this?"
"Only tonight," I said. "Tomorrow, you reject me and I leave Sterlink. This changes nothing."
Drake held my gaze, as if giving me one last chance to change my mind.
I didn't. Instead, I reached for him, grabbed the front of his robe, and pulled him to me.
Drake caught my mouth in a hard kiss that tasted of whiskey, his hands gripping my hips with rough possession as he dragged me down onto the mattress.
He stared down at my body with a dark, twisted look before sneering, "If it weren't for the bond, I would never spare you a second look."
His words hit a nerve, and I glared up at him with fury, trying to shove him away.
Instead, he caught my wrists, pinning them hard against the mattress, his voice dropping to a low growl. "Too late to go anywhere now."
