Her father’s advice rang constantly through her mind when she had followed the Alpha, though she wasn’t sure if she could trust anything he had said to her now. But her fake confidence disappeared the moment she turned to lock the door.

“But if you want to play this game, then I’ll play,” he continued, taking another step forward.

“I’m not playing.” she said. She hated the wobble in her voice. “I tried, but the dean didn’t want to listen to me.”

“You should have tried harder.”

The Alpha closed the distance between them, and his movements were deliberate and slow, making her feel quite hunted. She felt like his prey, and if she made any move now, he would ounce.
