His chest heaved with fear, his eyes wide with panic, as the accusations piled up like heavy stones on his conscience.
"Let go... let go of me!" Yves vehemently protested, his efforts to break free met with Clyde's unyielding grip.

"You're...cough...you're talking nonsense..." Yves managed to mumble before his consciousness surrendered, his lithe body going limp and collapsing into the unrelenting embrace of the Alpha.
Clyde clenched his jaw, his irritation palpable. He couldn't deny the turmoil swirling within him, the conflicting emotions tearing at his heart.
The sight of that delicate, flushed face beneath him tugged at his heartstrings.
