"You may have taken me," her voice was barely a whisper, "but I will never be yours" As if to punctuate her words she snarled back and then spit in the wolf’s face Jacque watched as his canines lengthened, felt his nails turn to claws against her skin Logan dropped her back to the chair and slapped her so hard she was sure so with you?" Jacque heard Cynthia yell

When Logan turned at the sound of her voice, Cynthia saw Logan’s eyes looked wild, his breathing rapid and uncontrolled Logan was being consu withoutat an incredible speed In the four days she and Jacque had been with him she had noticed his hunched shoulders, the constant furrowed brow and narrowed eyes as histhat Cynthia could figure was thatanything to combat the madness because she wasn’t his true mate The woman he thinks is the one ill fill that dark abyss is rejecting him and the precarious dam that had been held in place by the promise of a mate had broken when Jacque had told him she would never be his It was then that Cynthia realized that Logan would do whatever it took to have Jacque subed for hi back to hit Jacque again

Logan turned at the last minute and his fist connected with Cynthia’s face She felt her jaw break and then the lights went out

Jacque saw Cynthia hit the floor froan’s fist Before she could call out to the doctor, Logan had jerked her up by her hair Jacque screah her scalp She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt hi in a deep breath She wanted to vo in her scent, her skin crawled at the contact of his against hers

Logan sat down on the chair and pulled Jacque onto his lap He continued to grip her by her hair holding her in place She watched in sick fascination as he brought the forearm of his free hand to his thened bit down The bite was so deep that his blood ran freely froan turned and looked at her, the blood on his mouth dripped down his chin as he spoke "You shouldn’t have pushed ood, but you pushed, so noe do it the hard way" As soon as Jacque realized his intent, the pain was forgotten and her sole focus was on doing whatever it took to get out of Logan’s grasp She kicked, she clawed his ar

Jacque closed her eyes as she continued to struggle, she gagged as soon as the felt his ar her nose just as she felt a warled harder, but Logan hadher hair to her forehead to hold her head in place He pushed his arainst her mouth and then she felt him clamp her nose shut She tried so hard to hold her breath, deteren before she would s his blood, but her body betrayed her Alasped for air Logan took the opportunity to push his arled, she couldn’t stop the blood she felt flowing from his arm down her throat

Jacque’s eyes jerked open when she felt the pressure froan pulled his arerous He continued to hold her head in place as he replaced his mouth where his arainst the slot of his mouth and when that didn’t work she bit hian jerked back, but instead of the snarl she expected his lips were curled up into as an unnatural set you to bite me was a kiss, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble, Jacque"

His voice was deceptively calm, but Jacque could see the storm that lay just beneath the surface He started to pull her up and she closed her eyes, thinking thatto keep Fane froan’s

Logan must have sensed the small amount of relief that came over Jacque as he shifted her back to the chair because he leaned down next to her ear and whispered, "Your turn," as he ripped the neck of her shirt Jacque instinctively turned away, atte to hide herself, but realized her an howl and his claws raked across her back, across her s Jacque screamed as her flesh tore, she felt the waran lean down over her and run his tongue across her And as she felt his teeth pierce her skin, her lips screamed for the one ould save her, but couldn’t

"FANE!" She screaet out froan, away from him, away from his mouth "STOP! Please stop," she sobbed and in between her sobs she could hear hireedily at her flesh and the sound made her so sick that she vomited all over the floor The sh the lust that had peran’s ht leave her body and heard the sound of his steps getting further away She looked up at him as he opened the door to the rooh the tears in her eyes, she saw the blood smeared all over the front of his shirt, and on his lips, her blood Logan looked back at her, "You may have his marks on you, but it’s my blood that is in you" Jacque pressed her face into the cushion of the chair as she heard the door close, and as the lock clicked in place she felt so inside her break
