Chapter 23- Strip and Join Us This Moment.

AVA ~~

I kept my eyes shut, frozen in place with my face pressed against his bare chest.

I could feel his heartbeat. Fast. Steady. Strong.

And mine? Mine was going crazy—racing like a wild animal trapped in a cage.

I was too ashamed to move. Too embarrassed to open my eyes. Too stunned to speak. My hands were flat against his body, my breath brushing against his skin. The heat of his chest made it harder to think clearly.

How did I end up here?

Just as I finally gathered the courage to lift my head and pull away, I felt it.

His hand.

Not holding me anymore—but shoving me.

Before I could react, my body dropped to the floor with a hard thud, landing straight on my butt.

"Ow—fuck," I muttered under my breath, my face scrunched in pain.

I opened my eyes, still wincing, and looked up.

And there he was.

Alpha Soren.
