 I love you too, Alex, she whispered, kissing his neck between the words.
Thank god, it was all ove
 Well, isn t this sickeningly cute. Isabella s caustic tone broke through their happy little
reconciliation.
Blinking in surprise, Eva turned in Alex s arms. She d expected the woman to have made her
escape during Alex and Davie s fight, not hang around after what she d done. But no, the lycan female
stood behind them, hands on her hips.
 Alex, she was working with Davie. Wanted me out of the way so she could be alpha female of
the pack, she said quickly, before Isabella could say anything else.
Alex s face darkened with anger.
 Is this true? he demanded of the other woman.
Isabella s expression was hard.
 Was I working with the vampire? Yes, but only to remove a threat to the stability of the pack. As
our alpha has always taught us, pack comes first. Always. She&  she hissed, glaring at Eva,  is
weak.
Alex s arm tightened around Eva s waist. So tight she nearly squeaked, but kept silent, not
wanting to make a wrong move in what could turn out to be a volatile situation.
 She is& will be my mate, he growled.  And will be your alpha female.
Isabella smiled, baring her teeth.  Over my dead body. I call challenge.
 Challenge? What is that? From the silence that rippled around the assembled wolves, Eva knew
it was a serious thing.  Can she do that? Alex?
His jaw was set, a small muscle jumping in the corner, and his large body was suddenly tight
lethal power ready to burst free. He shoved Eva behind him with an abrupt movement that made her
stumble and clutch at his shoulders for balance.
 I accept the challenge on behalf of my mate.
Isabella chuckled, shaking her head.  No can do, handsome. You re not mated. She s not wearing
your mark.
 That can easily be remedied, Alex snarled, dragging Eva out in front of him so quickly her head
spun. Hand on her neck, he tilted her head to the side. His hot breath fanned over her throat. She had
to bite her lip, and fight the wave of heat that wanted to roll through her body. Now was so not the
time or place.
 That s not how it works, Alpha, and you know it. Isabella wagged her finger and clucked her
tongue chidingly.
 You have to bite her during climax. She looked Eva up and down.  And unless she s kinkier
than I thought, I doubt she s anywhere near.
Anger surged, almost choking Eva where she stood. The need to launch herself across the gap
between them and rip that damn finger off almost got the better of her. Perhaps the sight of the bloody
stump would wipe that smug smile right off the bitch s face.
Alex bared his teeth and moved Eva to the side to take a step forward. The movement was packed
with violent intent; leashed, but only just. His shoulders widened as she watched, his height
increasing until he loomed over the lycan woman.
For a split second, Eva caught the slight widening of Isabella s eyes and the fear in the back
before she locked her expression down. Her face was bland, almost seeming bored when she looked
up at the part-shifted alpha.
 You dare to correct me? I am alpha of this pack! Alex all but roared, the bellow making Eva
wince.
 You are alpha, I agree.
Somehow Isabella kept her composure. Whatever else she was, Eva had to admit she had balls of
steel.
 And as such, you are as bound by the laws of the pack as the rest of us. I challenge Eva, a pack
female, for the right to share your bed and to be your female. As. Is. My. Right.
 She is correct, Alpha. Frank stepped forward from the shadows. The fact that he was
completely naked didn t make Eva bat an eyelid. She had bigger concerns at the moment than Frank s
lack of clothing.  She has the right. If Eva does not meet the challenge& 
 Then what?
There was so much of this she didn t understand. Someone needed to get her a copy of Pack Rules
101. Stat.
 Then you will be exiled& Packless.
The veiled resignation in Frank s voice and the way he refused to look at her said they d all made
up their minds about how this would go. They expected her to refuse Isabella s challenge and walk
away.
Fuck. That.
This bitch needed to be taught a lesson.
 If I fight?
Frank looked up, surprise and perhaps the beginnings of new found respect in his eyes.  If you
win, Isabella becomes subordinate to you in the pack. As alpha female, you reserve the right to exile
her or arrange transfer to another pack.
Behind her, Isabella snorted.  Yeah, as if she s gonna win. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
