Chapter 009

[Sylvester]

What have I done?

Wrapped in what remains of her dress, her skin red and raw from where I rubbed myself against her, she is frozen, reeking of fear and the lingering smell of another wolf.

If I stand here one minute longer, Rufus will take over again. And if he does, I can’t be sure he won’t try to claim her as his on the floor of her office, where everyone in the pack can hear us.

“We need to get ourselves under control, Rufus!”

My wolf, Rufus, growls in response as he paces back and forth through my mind, demanding we go back and finish what we started.

“Don’t deny it,” he barks,” You felt it too.”

I won’t consider what he is suggesting. It is impossible. Those were not tingles, that was simply the anticipation of the hunt, the desire to mark and claim every attractive female that crosses my path. Stupid Alpha male stuff.

“Rudy,” I call over my shoulder to my Beta, who is waiting outside my office. “Take care of the new Luna she…she needs you more than I do.”
