Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

then she’s probably a monster, too. The fact that he was able to coordinate

with someone on the outside suggests Kahanov has connections in Magic

Side. I’m not walking you into danger. So go home, sit tight. We’ll deal with

him.”

“No.” She shoved me, but I didn’t budge, so she strode down the hall a

few paces before turning back. “Why the hell are you so invested in

protecting me? I’m a LaSalle, and you’ve made it clear you couldn’t care less

for me.”

I slowly crossed the distance. “Because Kahanov is an asshole, and I’m

not going to give him what he wants.”

She raised her chin defiantly. “Then maybe you should just toss me in his

empty cell. I’d be nice and safe, and you’d know where I was.”

“Maybe I should.”

She bared her

teeth, and the silence stretched between us. There was

something about the fire in her eyes and the scent of her rage that made me

want to slam her up against the wall and take her mouth with mine. She

gently bit her healing lower lip, and I imagined what she might taste like.

Pure fucking heaven with a bite of poison.

My wolf strained in my chest, and it was all I could do to steady my

breathing and repress my desire. Why was I letting this unbearable woman

Amal emerged from the cell, and the guard slammed the door.

Savannah glanced at Amal and Neve talking, and then whispered, “If I

have to cower in a cell, then you’re just handing Kahanov all the power.

Please, let me help you hunt him down. Maybe it’s risky, but I need this, and

I can help. You know I can.”

Her body trembled with repressed rage and frustration. I looked deep into

her eyes, measuring her will. They flickered with something I couldn’t quite

put my finger on at first—not hatred, nor desperation, nor fear.
