Chapter 81: The Alpha’s Claim

(Elena’s POV)

I was trapped between Marcus’s chest and the frosted glass, with nowhere to escape. The bath towel only covered half of my body, and the exposed skin was chilling from the cool air, making me shiver.

“Isn’t it? Isn’t one Sophia enough for you to sleep with? You don’t mind the dirt, but I do!” I spat, my voice trembling with both cold and fury.

The words hung in the air like poison. I watched his face transform, the golden eyes darkening to something

dangerous.

Hearing this, Marcus’s expression darkened, and he became even more silent. I had never shown such disgust toward him before, never rejected our mate bond so completely.

I breathed heavily, my soaked body still shivering in his hot embrace. Even without a word, Id feel the intense Alpha pressure radiating from him, like a sharp blade hanging over my head.

The mate bond pulsed between us, his anger feeding into my fear. The bathroom felt suffocaung, steam

rising around us like a prison.

“You’re concerned about Sophia?” Marcus’s voice was laced with dark mockery. “You know me well enough to

know if I was diseased from my encounters.”

I felt breathless, my heart hammering against my ribs. “What do you mean?”

He clarified his words, pressing me against him, his calloused palm igniting a fire on my waist. “I mean you

should know whether I’ve been with her or not.”

“No!” I resisted with tears streaming down my face.

But he forced a claiming kiss upon me, intertwining our fingers against the glass. I initially kept my lips

sealed, but he coaxed me open with his Alpha dominance,

The kiss was overwhelming, possessive. His scent surrounded me, the mate bond pulling at my very soul

despite my resistance.

I felt a surge in my stomach and suddenly vomited, the contents splashing against the bathroom floor.

Marcus’s face turned thunderous at the sight. He grabbed my wrist, forcing me to face him, his golden eyes.

cold and dangerous.

“Do you truly find my touch that repulsive?” His voice was barely controlled.

I was nauseous and with red–rimmed eyes, but I affirmed my aversion despite the mate bond pulling at me. “Yes. I find you disgusting”

“Elena, you just don’t want me to touch you?” His voice was barely controlled, the wolf in him raging at my

rejection.

The Alpha authority pressed down on me like a physical weight. I could see the beast behind his eyes, barely leashed.
