But I don’t know if I want to fight him.
My hand does hurt, and my desire for him is stronger than ever. The animal trying to escape from me whines and whimpers with need. I’d let him fuck me right here, right now if he wanted to. I’m keeping my human form, but I am being overrun with animal impulses.
Maybe things will be better if he and I have sex again. Maybe that’s what I need. If he breeds me, I don’t have to shift. The logic is twisted, weird, and probably wrong, but I don’t really care. It’s my logic, and I want to get laid.
“We’re coming with her,” Simon says. I guess he feels guilty about how this is going down. They just organized my abduction, after all.
“Yes,” Laura agrees. “The boss doesn’t travel alone.”
“You whelps are going to be in the way if you don’t do as you’re told,” Rex says. “But you’re welcome to come. My pack may very well educate you.”
“Don’t touch them. If anybody so much as disturbs a hair on their heads, I’ll fucking shank them,” I snarl.
“You could shift now and stop having such brutal things coming out of your human mind,” he says. “Those are animal thoughts.”
He says that in the same way someone might remind a child about an inside voice. I do not enjoy being condescended to. I lunge at him and bite his neck. He catches me and grips me tightly, letting out a guttural moan of pleasure as he holds me tight to his body. Passion ignites between us, and I am suddenly so fucking desirous of his cock I can hardly stand to breathe without it inside me. I know the meaning of the word crave in all new ways.
“Not here,” he snarls. “I am taking you home, and then I am taking you to the reserve. If you’re going to resist your shift, I’m not having you act out your animal self on the human world.”
I bite him again, harder. He shivers and I know I am starting to diminish his self-control as well. I can feel his cock hardening against me as I wrap myself around him and latch on with my teeth. There is an impulse in me to yank and chew, but I don’t follow that. That is a hunting instinct, and I know better. For now.
“Fuck,” he curses, pulling me off his neck and instead tossing me over his shoulder. I kick furiously, but I can do no real damage while dangling over his back.
“Come on, the lot of you!” he orders the others. “I may need help with this one, and sacrificing my men when she can chew on you lot makes sense.”
“Come, my entourage!” I call out.
Maybe they are hesitant, maybe they are willing, but they all come with us. Rex’s car can barely fit us all in it. He puts me in the rear between the boys, tells Laura to get in the front passenger seat, and drives.
“I’m relying on you boys to keep her in the car,” he says over his shoulder.
Just as he says that, I lunge for the window. My instincts are becoming increasingly feral. The open space in the otherwise closed interior calls me.
Several hands grab me, and the window, which had been partially lowered, is immediately returned to its fully closed state.
“The hell is she doing?”
“Getting caught between human and wolf,” Laura says. “Just shift, boss. Maybe not here, but once we get to a wooded area or something. You’ll feel so much better.”
“If you pull anything like that again…” Rex starts to threaten me, but it means nothing because I am nursing a broken hand and barely feeling it in this state.

I settle down eventually and we drive out of the city. I thought we’d be going to his penthouse apartment again, because that’s what he said was going to happen, but I thought wrong.
“Where are we going?”
“I’m taking you to the reserve,” he says. “Laura is right. That’s where you need to be.”
“How do you know my name?” Laura asks suspiciously.
“I’ve known all your names for quite some time,” he replies. “I do my research.”
“Not enough to know that Nicky Love wasn’t a man,” I pipe up from the backseat. His eyes sear into mine in the rearview mirror. I feel a pulse of arousal.
He does not reply to me, instead, he places a call to his manservant.
“Fescue, prepare rooms at the reserve for guests. We will need a ladies’ quarters, and shared accommodation for three young men. And, of course, I will need full accommodations for my mate, including clothing.”
“Of course, sir,” he says. “Anything else?”
“A doctor for Nicky.”
“Very good, sir,” he says.
“Very good, sir,” I repeat, then giggle. A couple of the guys give me a concerned look. I’m acting like a little shit. They’re used to me being an inspiring leader. I guess it’s weird.
