Chapter 8
A luxury car burst out of nowhere and nearly ran me o
ΠΤΕΤ
Startled, I reacted fast, instinctively stepping back several paces ||
The black Maybach screeched to a stop just inches from me.
The tires halted less than a meter from
feet
I saw myself
In the reflection of the car’s glossy surface, I say m
Wearing a teal linen dress, holding a cloth bag–mud stained and weather–worn
Only my face was barely presentable.
Heart stall racing, I frowned slightly and looked up-
Just in time for the backseat door to swing open
was caught completely off guard as my gaze crashed straight into a pair of eyes-
Dark, deep, and sharp as obsidian |
His stare was cutting, domineering. The suffocating pressure rolled off him in waves /
Even though he wasn’t consciously releasing his Alpha pheromones
The back of my neck tensed involuntarily, my breathing disrupted]
1 had faced Victor’s Alpha pressure before.
But never–never–had
I encountered a gaze and aura like this one.
Kane, drive-
The man had just begun to order
die Bela in
in the driver’s seat.]
When his gaze suddenly paused-
Locking onto my wrist
In that instant, whatever irritation was on his face vanished[
Ha entire expression went ice–cold in a blink.[]
“Ah!” I gasped in pain.
His large, sharply boned hand seized the arm wearing the bracelet.||
He yanked it off forcefully-
The metal scraped across my wrist, leaving a red, stinging mark
My pale skin was instantly rubbed raw
“Are you a feral wolf Where’d you learn that mugger’s greeting?”
Anger stirred in the Treached out||
“Teral woit.“–“]
The bark suited Gamuna bodyguard nearly visibly i
suffened []
That face–this Alpha–he was all over the news everyodier werk ||
Unless you were blind, no one in the Enyal Pack wouldn’t recognize Ronan Vous
He eyed me warily
Was I really trying to pull some pathetic stunt to catch the Alpha’s attention]
He stole a glance at Roman-]
Sure enough, the Alpha’s eyes were filled with undisguised disgust
“Where did you steal this bracelet? Where is the old woman?
His tone was ruthless, interrogating me like I was a criminal Omega]
Steal
That word stung. Deeply.
I don’t steal,” I said, frowning hard. “Never.”
Roman lowered his lashes and gave a rold snort
Then, his gaze sharpened–murderous]–
in the next secondl, he lunged.]]
Clamping a hand around my throat and slamming me into the car.
Bang-
My back crashed against the icy metal door.
Fain binoming down my spine as my fare twisted in agony.]]
This Alpha was insane
“The last woman who tried to use my grandmother to get close to me.
Ronan’s voice was frigid, his eyes a violent storm.
“I chopped her up
up and fed her to the dogs“]
His grip tightened
“You’d better tell the truth. Maybe then I leave your corpse intact.
|—
I gritted my teeth, reached up-
And booked his little finger, pulling it back with all my strength-
Then bit down hard.]
“Don’t make me fight you.“||
My voice wal
was ice, my tone just as sharp
Ronan glanced at the bleeding bite mark at the base of his thumb
eyes gleamed with a dangerous light||||
threatening me

The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against my kneecap ||

11 shatter both your legs first, then interrogate you at my leisure
My heart stopped cold
He wasn’t bluffing
slowly, I slipped my hand into my cloth bag.
Fingers brushing the cool metal of the Moon Seat Pale Device ||
just as everything was about to spiral out of control —||
Beta assistant Kane suddenly called out, rushing forward with ‘s communicator in handt||
“Alpha–we found the old madanat[]
Ronan
1 froze
He came from Moonshade Garden_[]
Could this man.
Ronan Voss, the Alpha of the Voss Tamily, the one I was supposed to End?||
Quietly, I let go of the largest Moon Puise Device 1 had just pulled halfway mut of my bag ||
And slid it back in
