Chapter 328

“Axel, no!” I cry out as he starts dragging me from the kitchen. “Please, I wasn’t going to run, I promise.”

Eventually he pulls something out and turns to me.

My wolf starts pushing up, trying to force the shift to protect me.

The first few years I was captive of the old Roberts Alpha, he kept me in silver handcuffs, keeping my wrists continuously raw,

blistered and painful.
