great scratches down his back , which healed almost as quickly . Dani bucked and writhed and she called out his name as he brought her to climax.
    Then, without warning, the rational part of her brain which she had moments earlier pushed aside took control again, and s he began to push against his chest.
    “No , ” she suddenly protested. She was scrambling to get out from underneath him. “No ! ” Dani said again and pulled away from him , leaving herself kneeling on the carpet next to the couch.
    Mason was sitting on the couch staring at her. “What is with you?”
    Dani was shaking as she looked around for her clothes. “I just want you to leave. I don’t want anything to do with you.”
    “Why, Dani , tell me ? ” He reached out for her and she scurried away to the other side of the room.
    “I can’t think with you touching me , so please stop , ” she demanded in a pleading tone . She had managed to put some distance between them.
    “Is this some sort of game to you? You think that I would offer my protection to just anyone?” Mason asked her angrily .
    Dani shook her head. The power that was radiating off of him was distracting. “Please, just go.”
    Mason pulled on his shirt and walked over to her. He clasped her wrists and pulled her up. “I want the truth.”
    “I have never had to rely on anyone and I am sure as hell not going to start with you.” Dani snapped, fighting back tears as she gave a tug at her wrists. “You’re just making it worse.”
    “If I were truly here to claim you , I would have done it and we would already be on the way back to my house. Is that clear to you?” Mason asked, and then finally let her go.
    “Get out of my house , ” Dani said, glaring up at him.
    Mason leaned over and pulled her close to him. She inhaled sharply as he bit down and tugged with his teeth at the spot where her collar bone and neck met. Her knees turned to jelly and she pushed weakly at his chest.
    “Da-damn you , Mason. Get out ! ” Dani’s head was spinning as he let go of her and walked to the door. She followed mutely as he stepped out.
    “Enjoy the wine , ” h e called dryly as she slammed the door and locked it behind him.
    Dani walked to her bathroom and turned towards the mirror. She looked tired and angry and his teeth had left a large imprint on her skin. It would take days to heal, perhaps longer. It was a sign that she belonged to him , that he planned to claim her in the future, and that any wolf that interfered with that would have to contend with him . She touched the spot and growled long and loud.
    “Damn you, Mason… and damn me too ! ” Dani shouted at the mirror even as she felt the wetness between her legs growing. Mason Daniels had marked her without asking , and even worse, it turned her on immensely.

    Mason was furious. How dare she kick him out of her house when she was practically begging him to claim her! He was pacing back and forth and growling as Phil looked on.
    “Some women like to play games , ” Phil stated simply from the relative safety of the doorway.
    Mason continued to pace along the length of the den. “She was not playing , ” he growled at last, looking angrily at his second-in-command .
    Phil immediately dropped to all fours. “I was only offering that maybe she led you on.” It was not smart to make such a comment to a distraught alpha, but Phil often spoke before thinking.
    Mason waved his hand as he continued to walk in great strides up and down the room. “I am not angry at you.”
    “ Sure , Mason, but you didn’t see the look on your face , ” Phil said, still looking at the floor. He had a very submissive , ‘ oops , I stepped on your paw ’ grimace on his face.
    Mason finally gave up pacing and sunk down on the couch. “ Dani doesn’t trust anyone , and especially not me. I don’t know why.”
    Phil crawled into the room and kept his head down until he was literally at Mason’s feet. “I’d like to talk
