"...I want to claim you now, Elara!" His voice was groanfully dark.
Thunderstruck through Elara's heart. "What?" She gasped and her mouth parted still.
She had no idea Alpha Harlan would take it up that fast. She intended to keep him shut and have the matter die down but he'd want to claim her?
He wanted to mark her this instant?!
She shook her head, wishing to disappear from beneath him.
Alpha Harlan stopped. He was on the verge of pulling off his shirt when her gasp made him pause momentarily. His brows creased as though he wasn't sure if the gasp indeed came from her.
"I can't wait to claim you, Elara." He repeated, having thrown his shirt away and unsheathing his belt.
Elara unconsciously gulped. Her throat made the gulping sound loud enough that Alpha Harlan would hear. Right as Elara's hazel eyes traced him down to his waist, the burning desire within her vanished... She couldn't pinpoint why.
