#Chapter 17 – The Surrender

Alyson

I thrash myself away from the Alpha, my tongue buzzing nonstop with nothing but anxiety boiling in the depths of my stomach. I meet his wide, calm eyes, my entire body shivering in place, in this bed, seeing this Alpha loom so close it's as if he will intend to kiss me again. I can't let that happen, nor can I understand why he's done it in the first place.

I cover my lips with my fingertips, still rattling with a buzz.

His eyes shift to the floor, something cold moving through him. "That was a mistake."

"Why—Why did you do it?"

"It wasn't intentional, dammit," he sighs, his fists knuckling into the sheets nearby, his frustration obvious. "I just—I don't know, I felt like I saw—like you were—"

The moment of silence between us screams volumes.

"I can't do this anymore. Taking you was a mistake."
