Chapter 64
I pressed my thighs tightly together as a dull ache built between them, my wolf surging forward eagerly, craving more contact.
Derek didn’t pull away. His pupils dilated, leaving only a thin ring of gray. Rather than backing off, he lowered his face, his nose tracing along my cheek all the way to my ear.
His stubble scraped against my skin, rough and masculine, causing me to shiver involuntarily. He inhaled my scent deeply, the sound primal and possessive. His other hand found my hip, fingers digging into the soft flesh there, holding me in place as he leaned closer. I felt the hard plane of his chest against mine, his thigh inadvertently wedged between my legs.
No, no. I shouldn’t be feeling this way. He’s Bradley’s brother. I thought desperately, even as my head tilted instinctively, exposing more of my neck to him.
My eyelids fluttered, nearly closing completely as his scent overwhelmed me. My hands, acting of their own accord, moved from my skirt to his arms, fingers pressing into the solid muscle there.
“No matter how much you pretend, you can’t resist the power of the Soul Bond, Blackwood,” he murmured against my ear, his warm breath fanning over the shell, lips brushing against the sensitive skin beneath. The vibration of his deep voice so close sent unmistakable tremors through me.
Heat pooled low in my abdomen, liquid and insistent. My body responded to his proximity in ways I couldn’t control. A quiet, involuntary sound escaped my throat–not quite a moan, but close enough to make my cheeks burn with embarrassment.
My wolf ran circles inside me, pushing me to get closer. I found myself arching slightly, my chest pressing more firmly against his, my hips moving forward to meet the solid pressure of his thigh.
“Don’t pretend you really want to break it,” Derek continued, his voice hardening even as his fingers traced an absent pattern on my hip. “I know what you really want. You want Mya’s position. You want to become the Pack Alpha’s mate.”
His words hit me like a bucket of ice water. My entire body stiffened, the pleasurable warmth immediately replaced by cold anger.
My hands, previously resting on his chest, now pushed against him hard. Even my wolf halted her eager movements, letting out a low, displeased growl, her hackles rising.
“You’re wrong,” I insisted, my voice tight with emotion. I pushed at his chest with both hands, my arms trembling with the effort, but my Omega strength was no match for his Alpha power.

My nails scraped against the fabric of his shirt as I struggled. “I never wanted that position!”
Derek’s anger seemed to intensify, the muscles in his jaw jumping as he clenched his teeth. His body. pressed closer, eliminating what little space remained between us, pinning me more firmly against
the door.
His entire body length was now pressed against mine, his thigh firmly between my legs, his chest against mine. I could feel his heart pounding, surprisingly fast for someone who appeared so controlled.
“Then why do you keep showing up in front of me?” he demanded, his breathing now coming faster. His hand moved from my hip to the small of my back, fingers splayed, pulling me tighter against him. “Why do you keep inserting yourself into my life?”
Our eyes locked, faces only inches apart, the air between us charged with tension and something else–something I refused to acknowledge but could no longer deny. Raw desire, powerful and
undeniable.
My breath caught in my throat as I saw his pupils dilate further. For a moment, I thought I saw the
corners of his mouth turn up in the faintest hint of a smile, the darkness in his eyes gradually
receding as gold flickered once more.
His thumb drew small circles at the base of my spine, an unconscious gesture that sent sparks of pleasure up my vertebrae.
“The only way to break a Soul Bond is for me to formally reject you as my mate in my capacity as Pack Alpha,” he finally said, his voice surprisingly gentle, almost tender.
His forehead lowered until it rested against mine, our breaths intermingling in the space between us.
“According to Pack Law, that would bring eternal suffering to us both. So, Blackwood, I will never do
that.”
