_ Bite Me, I Dare You

Axel grabbed me before an eye could blink. 

I yelped as he effortlessly threw me over his shoulder like I was nothing more than a sack of potatoes.

"AXEL!" I shrieked, pounding my fists against his back. "PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!"

He didn't even flinch. If anything, he adjusted me like I was a slightly inconvenient duffel bag and started walking toward the car.

"Axel, I swear to God—"

"If you bite me, María José, I will bite you back."

I froze. "You wouldn't."

"Try me."

Heat shot straight to my face.

The workers at the butchery—who had been quietly pretending not to witness any of this—were now openly staring, their mouths hanging open like fish.

I could almost imagine what was running through their minds; the Beta has lost his mind. He's hanging around with a cursed and wolfless Omega!

Axel reached the car, popped the passenger door open, and deposited me into the seat.
