I could feel my veins bursting with something I had never felt before, my mind was hazy as I thoughtlessly watched Haden approach me. His lustful gaze never dropping from mine, he encircled around me like an animal before it goes in for the kill and I was hopelessly left as the prey. "Haden what are you doing?" I pleaded, it was enough that I was forced to deny him, but now he was playing a whole different game.

"Shh, Just let go." Haden rumbled, his lips arching into a lopsided smirk as he looked down at me. "I believe I'm the one that should be saying that!" I snapped fury replacing the once fluttering feeling. For just an instant Haden seemed distraught as his smirk contorted into a look of complete and utter hurt. That was, before he replaced it with a cruel glare that matched my own. I stood my ground, not intending to stand down, but instead of fuming with burning rage, like I had expected, Haden lowered his chin and grasped my face pointedly.

That was when he brought his face directly over mine, so close that the tops of our nose gingerly brushed against each other. I could feel the tension building up between us, and I prayed he couldn't feel my racing heartbeat. Haden's lips hovered above mine, waiting for any sign of refusal, but I gave none. My traitorous body wouldn't allow me to leave, as much as my brain had demanded, in truth I wouldn't have left even if I had the choice...

Haden's ragged breath brushed against my cheek, making my body shiver in anticipation. I couldn't think straight, it was as if my mind had turned to mush from just the mere closeness. As Haden's lustful gaze flickered down to my lips, he slowly ran his tongue along his bottom lip, tempting me. Before I could even react, Haden wrapped both of his hands around my waist, tugging me closer to him. Goosebumps ran down my skin at the contact as Haden whispered, a slight rasp to his voice, "Kayla." my heart rate spiked just my the way my name sounded cling from him.

"Hmm?" I murmured, too dazed by his touch to think straight. "Now tell me, why are you marrying Jake?" His voice seemed calm and collected as he patiently awaited my answer. Since I had given him no response, he gently lowered his lips onto my eyelashes, making me flutter my eye lids closed. His lips on my skin making my whole body tingle with passion, but he briefly lifted them off my skin. "Do tell
Me, love." He whispered breathless, I shifted against him trying to clear my thoughts.

"Haden, I..." my words were jumbled and unorganized as I met his eyes, they were almost black with passion and my breaths were shallow as I tried to clear my head. "Shh you're going to be safe with me, just tell me the truth."

I was intoxicated by his touch, by his smell and I knew there was no way getting around his question. "Jake and my father are forcing me to marry. For my pack." I exhaled, my brain struggling against his alluring touch. Haden's hold on me immediately tightened as if I would vanish into thin air, his voice was soft, but my ears detected a slight strain of his voice has if he was restraining himself from doing something. "Forced you with what?" He cooed trying his best conceal his burning hatred.

"A War against the packs." a threateningly harsh voice sounded behind us.
