Chapter 0480

I move away from him, heading upstairs into my bedroom, slamming the door shut to lock it.

I just needed to be left alone.

But he was fast following me up the stairs...his hand blocking the doorway, preventing me from closing it fully to apply the lock.

"Get out." I roar out, trying to force the door shut but he pushes back. His entire alpha body taking over the frame of the doorway as he uses his shoulder to barge the door open...my body jumping back. "Get out or I'll mind link for help." I threaten.

"No, I wouldn't do that. I swear...but when I saw him."

"Saw him?"
