---- Reaching Moon Lake's edge, the man set me down. and pulled out a silver dagger. As my last shred of consciousness faded, I seemed to see Sebastian's face. Sebastian seized the silver blade and kicked away my would-be killer, his expression dark and murderous. The man was sent flying several meters by Sebastian's kick. He'd expected to deal with one drugged woman-no one had mentioned facing the pack's strongest Alpha. The man tried to flee, but at Sebastian's glance, his personal assistant restrained him. Sebastian instructed his aide, "Don't let him report to anyone." The assistant nodded. "Yes, Alpha." I caught that familiar pine scent again. My wolf uncontrollably wanted to emerge. My body felt weak and soft, but my mind was strangely excited, ---- my heartbeat gradually quickening. Sebastian wrapped his arms around me, blocking the doorway view as he kicked the door shut with one foot. His voice was husky as he gently coaxed, "Behave, and I'll buy you your favorite strawberry candy later." But I grew even weaker, unable to control my wolf anymore. My wolf emerged and pressed close to Sebastian while I hung limply against him. Sebastian's Adam's apple bobbed, but he stubbornly carried me into the bedroom and placed me on the bed. When he tried to stand, my wolf clung to him. The pleasure of skin contact cleared my mind slightly. I instinctively bit down on my lower lip, gripping the man's shirt corner and refusing to let go. I didn't realize this was fatal temptation for him. Seeing Sebastian's reaction, my rationality was ---- submerged again. I sat up and actively kissed his lips.
