"This game is dangerous, little Cheska," Matthew affirmed. It was too late for Cheska to react or understand what he meant. All she knew was that she was on the bottom while Matthew was on top of her. He had changed their position so easily. "Hey, what are you doing? It was an accident," Cheska tried to reason while pushing him away. But she knew her push was too weak, and her hands stopped moving. "Perhaps I can give you a minor example of how I plan to punish you if you take offense towards me," Matthew said, focusing his gaze on her lips. He did not hide the lust that was clearly reflected in his eyes. But instead of being scared, Cheska felt excitement. 'Damn you, Cheska! Why aren't you doing anything? Why are you waiting to taste his lips?' Her mind screamed, but her body remained frozen, waiting for his kiss. —*— Cheska's been waiting for her mate for a year now. And when she found him, her world crumbles because the mate given by the goddess is none other than Matthew De Silva— the alpha of the pack and her STEPBROTHER! Tormented by her feeling, Cheska decided to reject the mate bond but Matthew has a different plan... But how can Cheska escape the bond binding them, if the person she is escaping from is the one who makes a way for them to get closer? Will she choose to escape for the forbidden love? Or will she choose to give in and chose to be love?
