CHAPTER 7

DRAKE

Drake felt a surge of possessive triumph as he scooped Megan up into his arms. Her curvy frame was taut with barely contained fury; her muscles coiled as if ready to strike. The claiming bite, fresh and vivid on her skin, pulsed with the electric connection that now bound them. He rumbled soothingly, his deep, resonant voice a stark contrast to the storm brewing in her green eyes.

“Megan, you’re mine now,” he declared, his tone unapologetic. “There’s no going back.”

She glared up at him, anger blazing in her gaze. “You had no right to claim me without my consent, Drake.”

Drake shrugged. “Dragons don’t really concern themselves about such things, especially alphas.” His lips curled into a smug smile as he carried her to their bed, laying her down amidst the soft linens, down comforter, and antique quilt. He sat beside her, exuding a calm confidence that only fueled her anger. “What’s done is done. You’ll end up agreeing that I did the right thing.”

He made a rumbling sound that was part purr, part growl, and all together seductive and erotic.

“Don’t do that,” Megan snapped. “You’re an arrogant bastard.”

“And now you’re bound to me.”

“I’ve got a Glock that says differently.” When he said nothing, she continued, “You think you can just take whatever or whoever you want?”

Drake’s eyes darkened with a mix of amusement and determination. “I did what had to be done. You’ll understand in time.”

Megan’s hands clenched into fists, but she didn’t back down. “You think you can control me? Think again. If you think just because I wasn’t born drakaina, I’ll be easy, you couldn’t be more wrong. I won’t be a docile mate.”

He leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear. “I don’t want docile. I want strong. Fierce. Exactly what you are.”

The bond between them, forged by the bite, thrummed with a volatile mix of emotions. Drake knew they needed to navigate this alliance carefully, but he wasn’t about to apologize for his actions. He had claimed her because it was the only way to secure their fates, to intertwine their quests for truth. By establishing the bonding link, he could be sure that he would know when she faced danger and needed his help.

He wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea of her continuing to work with the ATF. This would be her last undercover assignment. He would see to that, but if he could get Jasmine attached to her as some kind of special liaison, there might be a way for the SEALs, the Coast Guard, and the ATF here in Alaska to work together more efficiently. It was an idea worth pursuing.

“You came here to try and figure out what is going on with your case. I want to know if my father was murdered, and if so, by whom. I think the two are intertwined. We need to share everything we know,” Drake said, his tone brooking no argument. “We can get Jasmine assigned to the case specifically to help. She should be able to provide whatever tech support is needed.
