LIKED TO BE CHASED.

Chapter: 24

Zeke's POV:

A smirk settled on my lips as I watched him move—flitting from one end of the room to the other, a mere blur against the dim lighting. There was something about the way he moved that sent a strange sensation through my chest—warm, unsettling, unfamiliar.

But I maintain my composure.

Earlier, when Roman had told me to do something—anything—to help him, I hadn't. I wanted to see how long he could hold out, to test his limits, to watch and observe. Would he succumb to the pain? Would his body betray him?

Instead, he endured it.

That should have been impossible. Unless they were Alphas or Betas, most werewolves couldn't withstand such agony, let alone conceal it to the extent that he had.

Unless…

A thought crept into my mind, one I couldn't shake. What if he wasn't a werewolf at all?
