章節 15: Difficult Little Mate

Kane POV:

As Elena excused herself after boldly declaring she wasn't coming back to my pack with me, I was this close—so damn close—to losing it. The tension in the room had been palpable, but hearing her outright defiance sparked something deep inside me, something dark and dominant. I never tolerated disobedience. Never. And this little mate of mine was about to learn exactly what it meant to defy me. She needed to understand that she couldn't, mustn't, ever go against me, much less disobey.

I didn't want to cause a scene in front of her already panicked parents, so I excused myself, but my mind was already running wild. I followed her, my senses heightened, every step filled with the need to remind her who held the power here. She had no idea what she had awakened in me—the dominant side of me was roaring to life, and the need to make her submit was overwhelming any rational thoughts.
