The Alpha’s Obsession with the Rejected Mate
I think of slamming its tires with my heels when the door snaps open.
I pause and watch as he steps out slowly from the vehicle.
Graven.
The wolf is tall and built, and his hands–the same hands that have broken more than they have fixed–grips the door tight. His coat, dark velvet and barely conceding the weapons strapped to his side, sits loosely on his heavy frame as he walks.
But above all, his face stands out more.
A long scar runs down the side of his face, slitting his brow, tearing over a dead eye, and splitting his lower jaw like a ridge. Like someone once tried to cut his face in two and nearly succeeded. His one good eye slowly moves over the space until it lands on me.
