“Don’t pretend like you know me. We’re not friends.”
“As if I needed reminding of that, dick,” I snapped.
I was flush against the wall now and Tyler boxed me in with a hand on either side of me. My breathing grew rapid and I kept my eyes fixed on his. Tyler’s pupils were huge and a vein in his forehead looked like it might explode.
“You’re fighting it,” I pointed out. “You don’t want to change here. You don’t want my blood on your hands.”
“You don’t know what I want.” He leaned so his face was nearly touching mine. Then he breathed in as if smelling me.
My whole body tensed.What the actual fuck?
Tyler lowered one hand and set it on my hip, sliding it up my body until he reached my breast. His touch was gentle and to my horror, my body responded. A little shiver of lust rolled through me.
Oh, hell no.
This was not going to happen. This was never going to happen. With all the force I could muster, I lifted my leg and stomped hard on his foot.
Tyler howled as he backed away from me. I pushed past him, but he grabbed me, throwing an arm around my chest to pull me against him. I struggled to break free of his grip, but he held me tight.
“Let me go, asshole!” I threw my elbow back, trying to hit his stomach. Tyler forced both my arms to my side, pinning me against him. He pulled me even closer to him and I could feel his hardness pressing into me.
I knew wolf shifters had a practically insatiable sex drive, but there were so many willing partners. Why would someone who hated me go through all this trouble?
I felt his nose by my ear, his hot breath on my neck. He was panting and I wasn’t sure if he was in control or his wolf was. Whatever was happening, it wasn’t going to end well for me if I couldn’t get out of his grip.
“Let me go, Tyler. Or I swear to the gods I will slit your throat in your sleep,” I hissed.
His large hand grabbed my chin and roughly forced my head to turn so I was facing him. “You will be a ghost until the full moon. I don’t want to see your face. As soon as the magic lifts, you’re gone. If you stay, I will finish what I started.”
He pushed me away and I stumbled forward, landing on the ground on my hands and knees. Shaking and terrified, I risked a glance behind me. When I realized that I was alone, my shoulders slumped and I let out a breath of relief.
I had no idea what just happened but I had no problem following his suggestion. It was already my plan anyway. Cursing myself for my weakness, I pushed myself to standing and brushed the dirt off my hands and knees. I wished I could fight back. I hated that I wasn’t strong enough. It wasn’t fair being a human surrounded by these powerful creatures who could snap me in half without even trying. The sooner I could get away from all things magic, the better.
