~Zarek's POV~
I sat cross-legged on my Italian X- chair draped in tapestries as I stared into the distance. There was a tray of untouched freshly picked fruits in the small bronze table in front of me and a bottle of exquisite wine, one I had no business drinking from.

My hands trembled slightly as I heard the sounds of approaching footsteps, and knowing that she was close, I sat up straighter, my back stiffening as her scent hit my nostrils.
My wolf growled, its rage slamming into me as my jaw ticked.
"Alpha, you sent for me." A sultry feminine voice said, and just like that, I nearly lost control. My wolf thrashed within me with a force that I've never felt from it before, struggling to be let out, desperate to be allowed to wreck its kind of havoc.
