His gaze raked over her body and Ruelle held back a shiver, keeping her eyes steady. "Is that all you have to say?" she asked, lifting her chin. Dante's lips curled in a lazy smile. "What else do you want to hear?" He tilted his head, eyes flashing gold. "That you're a whore who is desperate for my cock?" Ruelle didn't allow the insult to faze her. She slowly took off her coat, leaving her standing in front of him, naked. Holding his gaze, she slowly walked forward, stopping a few inches from him. Her lips curled in a smirk as she saw Dante's fingers tightly digging into the sofa. "Are you going to do what I want or should I take it?" Ruelle asked, gaze falling on the unmistakable tent in his pants. So much for being in control. She had already won this fight. "Get on your fucking knees," Dante growled, eyes flashing gold. He had reached his breaking point. With a victorious smile, Ruelle sank to her knees. ******************* Ruelle Moretti was never one to give up on anything. Cunning, manipulative, ruthless and utterly seductive, the dominant omega had a lot of ways to get what she wanted. She didn't play the game, she owned it. When Ruelle set her eyes on the heir of the Ravelli clan, Dante Ravelli, she had already decided that the alpha belonged to her. It didn't matter that he was from a rival clan and that he had a fiancé he was to marry in three weeks. With a single, calculated move, she manipulated Dante into a night of passion that ended up with them bonded. As Dante deals with betrayal, desire, and his own primal instincts against which he blames on the forced bond, Ruelle weaves a dangerous game of seduction and power to keep the alpha tied to her while keeping her goal set of being the most feared wolf in Valentieri. In a city where loyalty is bought, enemies lurk in every shadow and the closest ones to you won't hesitate to resort to betrayal in the grapple for power, can Dante and Ruelle protect themselves while holding on to their bond? Or will they succumb to their enemies and the ghosts of their past?
