We were in love for five years, and he gave me everything. He always tells me his wolf can't control its desire when it sees me. That's why he likes to have sex with me anywhere, anytime—even out in the wild, he doesn't care.

My Alpha power surged forth, crushing her to her knees. I grabbed the blade: "Let me show you what real cuts look like."
