Chapter 11
Chapter 11:
“I will bypass this and act as if I weren’t attacked. Just give me what I want. Or else, I’ll withdraw my choice about the peace treaty and wage war against your pack for attacking an Alpha!” Ryder’s voice was brutal. Of course, he had used the same threat on me earlier, so what was I expecting?
Dad coughed. “Ryder Kael, you need to give us time to think this through. We’ll get back to you,” Dad’s response was curt.
“Vixen! It was nice having breakfast with you. Looking forward to more,” Ryder said, and I was stunned. Ryder was a pure flirt!
From the moment I saw her at Jason’s engagement party, my heartbeat sped up, my throat suddenly went dry, and my body reacted. Damn it!
I knew she was the one. There was something about her that made my heart leap.
She was beautiful in every sense, and I could only call Jason a fool for ever rejecting her. Well, it was his loss and my gain.
Throughout the party, I watched her every move—her blue eyes flickering brightly, her pink, full, heart-shaped lips inviting me to taste them. Her curves were perfect, her body a temptation that drove me wild. I had never hungered for a woman the way I craved her.
Everything was going just fine until I saw her sober up, and then she started running outside the hall.
My wolf insisted I follow, and I trailed after her. It was late at night, dark, and something could happen to her. I needed to make sure she was safe.
Her silent sobs made me furious. I knew it was the scandal—the whispers from people at the party—that had upset her. I was aggravated. I wanted to crush Jason, hurt him forever for causing her this much pain.
I couldn’t leave, and I couldn’t just watch in silence. The pain— I wanted to put a smile on that cute face of hers.
Just before I could say something, the light came on, and she noticed me. I really wanted to play it cool, like just another random pack member she knew, to make her feel relaxed instead of letting her know my status as the Lycan King and making her tense.
We chatted, even though it was more formal. I felt relieved to see her less tense, and of course, I hadn’t meant the threat I had carried out. I was just excited that she had finally gotten her wolf and wouldn’t be looked down on anymore.

I knew I had to take my leave when her friend came. I returned to the party, my mind focused on just one thing: how to make her mine. Call me crazy—yes, I am. That’s the crazy thing she does to me. We need her, Ace, my dick, and me. We crave her!
Sitting back, my mind raced with the thought of her—how her body would react when I got hold of her, kissed her, and took her into my world. I wanted to make her mine, break her, and do all sorts of things to her. Seeing her chat and smile with friends made me jealous. I wanted to chase them away, pin her on that table, and make her scream my name.
“Hey, handsome,” one of the ladies from the pack caught my attention. Of course, I knew I was a ladies’ man, but not now, not when I was still thinking about how to get that vixen into my bed. I wanted just her. But, however, I could use some distraction to clear my mind.
I engaged with her, and we started talking. She was flirting with me, but I was less interested in what she had to say. In fact, this was a terrible idea because all I could picture was Jasmine talking to me just like her, winding her long hair and looking at me with those cute eyes of hers.
“Excuse me,” that familiar voice made my heart skip, my heartbeat accelerate, and my body twitch to life. Ace, my wolf, was alarmed. This was the crazy thing she did to us. Mate or not, I had to have her!
I smiled lightly at how possessive she turned in seconds, slightly brushing past the lady, as if she was claiming ownership of me.
