Chapter 93: A Hard Choice
His Alpha’s eyes, an unnerving shade of deep blue, watched him with an unblinking intensity, his gaze slicing through the tension like a cold, calculated blade. Detroit’s instincts flared, warning him that Ryder’s relaxed demeanor was just a ruse, a thin veil hiding the danger lurking beneath.
He ought to be afraid, he’d just angered his Alpha’s woman.
Suddenly, a zap cut through his mind, a sharp, electric jolt that made his thoughts stumble. The mental intrusion was unmistakable - his Alpha’s signature move, a demonstration of his formidable psychic power.
Detroit’s eyes flicked to his Alpha, who hadn’t moved, but whose gaze now seemed to hold a darker, more ominous undertone.
’Let her beat you to her satisfaction, or I will. Choose wisely.’
Detroit’s stomach churned, a cold sweat breaking out across his forehead as he weighed his options. His Alpha’s woman’s fury was evident, like a living, breathing entity that seemed to pulse with a life of its own.
Letting her beat him up without putting up a fight was a perilous gamble. As a Luna, Reana possessed a ferocity and strength that few could match, and her wolf was just as deadly, a Luna wolf. If she lost control, even for a moment, she could easily kill him - and his Alpha’s presence seemed to suggest that he wouldn’t intervene to stop her.
Consequently, he knew that if he didn’t submit to her wrath, his Alpha would make good on his promise, and the thought of facing Alpha Snow’s punishment was a prospect too terrifying to contemplate.
With a shaky breath, he shut his eyes, steeling himself for the onslaught.
