"Stay back," Rylee howled, she could feel her heart racing and her breathing quicken to the point where she started to hyperventilate, "I am not afraid of you."
"Oh but you are, little wolf," Kieran smiled. "I can smell your fear."
"Listen, you don't have to do this." She told him. "Let's go our separate ways from here, I assure you that I won't tell anyone about tonight or whatever the moon goddess is hoping to achieve by mating us. We can just forget about tonight and live our separate lives."
Kieran had been enjoying the little chase and banter until he heard what she had to say. Every trace of fun disappeared from his face and his fingers were tightening on her neck the next second. "Are you rejecting me, little wolf?" he asked coldly.
Rylee was scared, she thought she would be doing him a favour when she said that, and now he wants to kill her? Just what can she do that he would be happy with without threatening to kill her?
