It didn’t even take a second.
Alpha Damien deepened the kiss as though he’d been waiting for permission all along, and now that he had it, nothing could stop him. His grip tightened around my waist, drawing me in until escape was impossible, even if I wanted it. His other hand slid up to cradle my head, fingers threading into my hair, holding me exactly where he wanted me. There was no hesitation in him as he took control, claiming the kiss completely.
I couldn’t stop myself.
A shiver ran down my spine as my hands lifted and wrapped around him, clutching at his clothes as my head began to spin. My heart pounded wildly in my chest, far too fast for something as simple as a kiss, yet it felt as though that kiss was the only thing keeping me sane.
It was like being dragged underwater, my lungs burning, and his lips were the only air I needed.
Before I knew it, he bit my lower lip.
A soft, traitorous moan slipped out of me before I could stop it, and the moment my lips parted, he took advantage of it. His tongue slid into my mouth, slow at first, then deeper, and more demanding, stealing my breath and making the world tilt even further.
gods, how could a kiss alone feel like this? I couldn’t tell if it was my heat amplifying every sensation or if my body had simply been waiting for him all along.
I didn’t dare voice the thought.
Instead, I kissed him back, leaning fully into him, my body surrendering before my mind could catch up. He responded immediately, pressing closer until there was no space left between us, his solid frame forcing me to move as he suddenly stepped forward. I stumbled back, gasping, my grip tightening around him as he guided me away from the wall, never once breaking the kiss.
My thoughts scattered in panic.
What was he doing? Was he really about to drag me back into the banquet like this, where anyone could see us? I wanted to pull away, to ask him if he had lost his mind, but that would have required me to actually let go, and I couldn’t.
I hated how much control he had over me with nothing more than his presence. had been a warrior once, a Luna who prided herself on discipline and restraint, yet here I was, unable to break free because my body wanted him far more than my pride ever could.
He kissed me again, and I closed my eyes despite myself, returning it just as fiercely. Just then my back hit something hard.
A door.
I froze, my eyes flying open.
Don’t tell me he’s about to-
Before I could finish the thought, his hand left my waist and reached past me. I felt the cool surface shift, heard the soft click of a latch, and the door behind me opened as he moved forward, guiding me with him. My eyes widened as he pulled me through, his arms still firm around me.
I broke the kiss at last, breathless and stunned, turning too quickly, half-expecting to find myself beneath the horrified stares of the entire hall.
Instead, I stood in a luxurious room.
Huh?
I blinked, my breathing still uneven, and took in my surroundings. This was nothing like the banquet hall. Soft candlelight glowed against dark, polished wood. A wide bed draped in fine sheets dominated the space, while heavy curtains were drawn tight, as though the room barely ever saw daylight.
My brows knitted as I muttered under my breath, “What is this…? How did we get here?”
Weren’t we just in the middle of the banquet?
So many questions crowded my mind, and I turned to ask him, but the words died in my throat.
Alpha Damien stepped toward me unhurriedly.
My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I took a step back, my heart slamming violently against my ribs. The way

he looked at me hungrily made my skin prickle. He looked like a predator who already knew the outcome, who had no need to rush because the prey was already cornered.
He took another step forward.
I took one back.
“W-what are you doing?” I asked, my voice betraying me.
He tilted his head slightly, crimson eyes fixed on mine. “What am I doing?” he echoed calmly, and stepped forward again.
I retreated without thinking, and this time my leg hit something solid.
The bed.
I fell back onto it with a soft groan, the mattress giving way beneath me, and before I could even push myself up, he was there in a blink. His weight pressed me down as his large hands caught mine, pinning them above my head with powerful strength. His other hand came up, fingers firm under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze.
Those crimson eyes flashed as they roamed over my face, as if he were memorizing every detail.
My breathing quickened, my chest rising and falling against his as I stared back at him, trapped beneath his body.
“I should be asking you the same thing,” he said, his voice low. “Why do you keep trying to run when you already know there’ s nowhere to go? Do you find it entertaining to test my patience or do you think you can still change your mind now that you’re mine?”
Mine?
The word echoed in my head.
What did he mean by that?

I should have questioned him. I should have pushed back. Every instinct screamed that this man was dangerous, that running was the only sensible option. And yet, even knowing that, my body refused to cooperate. Running now would only make things worse. I had already made my choice, and I wasn’t someone who turned back once her mind was set.
Even if everyone else feared this cold-blooded alpha, tonight, I would let him satisfy me.
Slowly, I reached down despite his grip and unfastened the pin at my collar. The white coat slipped from my shoulders and fell onto the bed, leaving me in the thin white dress beneath. I lifted my arms and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him closer instead of pushing him away, offering myself without another word.
For a moment, he didn’t move, then I saw the faint curl of his lips. Without breaking eye contact, he leaned down and kissed me deeply, claiming my mouth with a certainty that made my thoughts scatter all over again.
