Chapter 0391

I pushed against his chest, but he didn't budge. “That’s ridiculous. I don’t want you, David. You’re full of yourself and rude.” I sniffed, my nose wrinkling at the scent of alcohol. “And you’re drunk as hell right now.”

He chuckled, the sound sending chills down my spine. “Such a little minx. I bet you’re just as feisty in bed as you are in those meetings.” He traced a finger along my exposed collarbone. “You know, that one time you breastfed in a meeting, I couldn’t stop staring at your enormous tits. I had to… finish myself after you left. Right there in my chair.”

I swallowed hard. “You’re disgusting.” I shoved at him again, but he moved forward, caging me against the car with one hand pressing into the car window beside my head. I fumbled for my phone, but he noticed and slapped my hand, sending it skittering across the pavement.

“Come on, Hannah,” he whispered, his breath hot against my neck. “I want to find out what the almighty female Alpha is really like behind closed doors.”

Before I could react, his lips were on mine, his hand sliding up under my shirt. I froze, panic rising in my throat. I felt like a deer in headlights—something terrible was about to happen, but I was too frightened to move.

“Ooh,” he murmured, his fingers grazing my sweaty skin. “Just working out, were you? Maybe we can go back to my place and you can show me how fit you are. I bet you’re flexible.”

My mind raced, searching for an escape. Suddenly, an idea struck me. I was not a deer in headlights; I was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“Or I can show you right here,” I purred, forcing myself to sound seductive.

David’s eyes flashed with excitement, a growl rumbling in his chest. “Hmm… I haven’t done it in a car in a long time. Let’s go for it.” He leaned in, his lips attacking my neck.

In that moment, while he was distracted, I saw my chance and took it. Using all the strength and skill I’d gained from my training, I brought my knee up hard between his legs. As he doubled over in pain, I followed up with a series of quick strikes to his face and torso.

David stumbled backward, shock and anger overtaking his lust. He clutched his face, blood instantly gushing from his nose.

“You bitch!” he snarled, lunging at me.

But I was ready. Channeling all my rage and fear into one final blow to his chest, I sent him flying across the parking garage. He hit a concrete pillar with a sickening thud and slumped to the ground, motionless.

For a moment, I stood there, my chest heaving, adrenaline coursing through my veins. Then, panic set in. What had I done?

Without thinking, I jumped into my car and sped away, leaving him there.

The next morning, I tried to push the events of the previous night from my mind as I fed Melody. She cooed happily, oblivious to her mother’s inner turmoil. I hadn’t killed David… I knew that for certain. Likely he had woken up moments after I’d driven away and stumbled home, drunk and humiliated over getting beaten up by a girl. Or at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.

Suddenly, a sharp knock at the door startled me. Cradling Melody against my chest, I carefully made my way to the door, peering through the peephole. On my doorstep stood David’s Beta, flanked by several Darkmoon officials. I swallowed hard and swung the door open.

“Can I help you?”

“Alpha Hannah, you are under arrest for the physical assault of Alpha David. You are ordered to come to the Darkmoon pack with us immediately.”
