Alpha's Private Plaything (Elsa and Drake Stone) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Drake

I caught her scent before I saw her.

Vanilla and honey with that unique undertone that was purely Elsa. My nostrils flared as I followed it down the corridor, away from the noise of the banquet hall. Rage and possessiveness twisted inside my gut like a knife. That fucking Moon Shadow Alpha had been hovering around her all night, and my wolf was going insane.

There she was, standing at the far end of the hallway, her back to me as she faced an open window. The cool night air ruffled her golden hair

as she lifted it off her neck, revealing the delicate silver chain I’d given he years ago.

I approached silently, my footsteps masked by the distant music from the Ballroom. Elsa must have sensed me anyway-her shoulders tensed

slightly, but she didn’t turn. Defiant, even now. It pissed me off even more

“Taking a break from your new Alpha?” I asked, my voice deceptively calm despite the fucking inferno raging inside me.

She turned slowly, those green eyes meeting mine without flinching. “I needed some air.

My gaze dropped to the pendant resting against her collarbone, then back to her face. I could smell Alexander Lumin’s scent lingering on her-

faint, but unmistakable. My vision edged with gold as my wolf pushed forward, demanding I remind her who she belonged to.

Without warning, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the service stairwell at the end of the hall. She stumbled on her injured ankle,

letting out a small gasp of pain that I ignored. The security camera blind spot in the stairwell was exactly what I needed.

“Drake, what are you-

I shoved her inside and locked the door behind us, pushing her against the concrete wall. The harsh fluorescent light cast shadows across her

startled face as I caged her with my arms. My breathing was heavy, chest eaving with the effort of containing the beast inside me.

‘You and Alex seemed to have quite the fucking conversation earlier,” I sa, leaning in until our faces were inches apart. ‘Planning to jump

ship to Moon Shadow pack?”

A flash of defiance crossed her features, and she had the audacity to smirk Worried I’ll be poached?”

I laughed, the sound cold even to my own ears, masking the blind panic athe thought of losing her. ‘Dream on. I reached for her silk blouse,

ripping open the collar with one swift movement. “I just need to remind y who your fucking master is.”

Her sharp intake of breath sent a rush of satisfaction through me. I could nell her fear, but beneath it was something else arousal. Her body knew who it belonged to, even if she was being stubborn.

Drake, you’re insane,” she hissed, trying to push against my chest. ‘Anyon could come up here!

I yanked her jacket off her shoulders, tossing it carelessly to the floor, my movements rough with desperate need. The more dangerous, the more exciting. Isn’t that right, Elsa? I pinned both her wrists above her bed with one hand, my strength easily overpowering her. You love the thrill. Don’t fucking lie to me

Her pulse raced beneath my fingertips, her skin flushing with heat. I used my free hand to roughly squeeze her breast through the thin fabric of her blouse, feeling the nipple harden against my palm. My cock strained painfully against my pants, demanding release.

“You has been quite the tease lately,” I growled, my mouth at her ear, voice thick with possessiveness. “Even Alexander Lumin is falling under your spell. What exactly are you playing at, hmm? Trying to make me lose my goddamn mind?”

She struggled against my grip, her breathing becoming ragged. “Drake, stop it! Vera is waiting for you downstairs! Your mate-

I cut her off with a harsh laugh, sliding my hand up her thigh, bunching her dress around her waist. My fingers found the edge of her panties, and I smirked against her skin. “Such a short dress. Were you trying to attract attention? Was that your game?”

I pushed her harder against the wall, forcing my knee between her thighs spread them. The scent of her arousal hit me like a physical blow, making my cock throb painfully against my zipper.
