CHAPTER 143

  "I told you to stop." The last of her words were a different note to her voice, providing the signs of her wolf threatening to breach the surface. 

  Cedric wanted to prod even more, but he resorted to raising his hands in surrender, sarcasm dripping from his voice as he said, "Okay, okay, calm down, Alpha wolf."

  "Don't call me that either."

  He raises a brow as he mentally wrestles back the smile that threatens to stretch onto his face. He was having too much fun with this and to keep it so, he had to control his facial expressions.

  With an inquisitive loll of his head, he asks, "Really? Isn't that what you are?''

  Marisol seems to have had enough at this point, and she's quick to jump at his words, "It's what you are too, and yet here you are, shut away like some degenerate." She spits back and Cedric almost chokes, covering it up with a snort instead.
