She turned her head. “You know why. With all that you’ve done to our pack, some vengeance is expected.”
“Whatwe’vedone?” He placed his hand over his chest. “Yourenforcer attacked one of mine.Yourenforcer came onto our lands and kidnapped a woman—a shifter’s mate—knowing it would lure our enforcer over.” He pointed to her. “Yourenforcer incited a fight and deserved the harsh outcome.”
“I’m not having this conversation like this.” She glanced down at the blanket. “You promised.”
“And I’ll keep my word.” He strode over to her.
When he bent down before her naked body to retrieve it, she held her breath. His head was inches away from her breasts, her core, her sex. Her wolf went wild, clamoring to mate with him.
No way. Mila had to calm the raging inferno of lust dizzying her. It was a mistake. It had to be. The universe couldn’t be cruel enough to pair her up with her enemy shifter as her mate.
Could it?
She resisted the urge to inhale, refusing to be swayed by his scent. After he retrieved the blanket and rose in what seemed like agonizing slow motion, she struggled to dampen the burning inside. He rose to full height, standing a head over her, nostrils flared.
“Don’t sniff me,” she said.
“Why not? You smell good.”
“You’ll make it worse.”
He wrapped the blanket behind her. The fact that the touch of his hands was separated from her flesh by only a layer of fleece turned her heady. Her body trembled, yearning for more. When he covered her breasts and tucked one end inside the other, a rumble emanated deep within his chest.
“There. Happy?” he asked.
“I’ve never been less so in my life.”
He lowered his head close to her ear again. In a low murmur, he said, “That’s unfortunate for you since I don’t have any interest in bringing pleasure to my prisoners.”
Her breath came in short spurts from her nostrils. “If you keep me here, it will be your undoing.”
He stepped back and stared at her with an amused expression. “Why? Are some Sacco shifters going to come searching for you?”
His mocking infuriated her. “Of course. I am the alpha’s daughter. They will not leave me here.”
His expression turned murderous. “You’re Kane’s daughter?”
The look on his face made her throat tighten. She swallowed. “Yes. And he’ll kill you for this.”
Rafe threw his head back and laughed. “For capturing his daughter caught in the act of sabotaging my property? Oh, what a sense of humor you have.”
Mila raised her chin. “I know who you are.”
“Oh?”
“You’re Rafe. The destructive wolf who has been exploiting land for profit.”
He leaned closer. “You know nothing, Mila,” he spat with contempt. The look he gave her showed his repulsion. “You might want to get used to your surroundings. It will take a long time for your pack to find you, if they ever do. We own a lot of land.” He stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Mila stared at the closed door and then scanned the storage room once more, searching for a way out. Were there any windows behind the shelving units? She craned her head in either direction to scan around the boxes. Nothing.
Damn.
The only way out was through that door. If she could shift to wolf form, she’d use her strength to try to bash through it. But the silver must have prevented her from shifting.
How the hell could she claw her way out of here?
Rafe
