Chapter 56

"No," Axel says flatly, rolling away from me, onto his back. I can feel his wolf raging inside him, though, and mine cowers. Somehow, by some wolf bond, she can feel how irate he is at my request. Axel the man may be keeping himself under control, but his wolf is wild with fury, and I can only imagine how hard it must be for him to control it right now. He's so strong, stronger than anyone I've ever met, to contain that level of wolf fury. The mattress vibrates from the energy pouring out of him, but he doesn't move a muscle to tear me apart like his wolf wants to.

Still, I feel like I'm going to be shoved through the wall from the force of his wolf's anger.

I shrink away from him, covering my face with my hands. "Okay," I say meekly, pulling my knees up to my chest to protect myself from his wolf's outrage, in case it gets loose.
