Close Call

Kieran's POV

A shudder raked through my body, causing goosebumps to follow suit. No matter how hard I tried to keep my body and it's reactions in check, it just didn't work. In fact, it felt like the more I tried, the more worse it became.

I pressed my eyes shut, not knowing what else to do. Even that didn't help one bit. Instead, I felt my heartbeat pick up its pace, the vital organ threatening to tear its way through my skin. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Perhaps if that happened,I would finally get a hold of my senses again and know the right thing to do.

Maybe.

Right now, it all felt like wishful thinking. My mind fought against it, but my body gave in to it willingly. I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end immediately. I gasped and my breath hitched in my throat as he pressed his lips close to my ear lobes. Who, you might ask?

Alpha Xander.
