Helanie:
The way he pinned my hands above my head and stared into my eyes was a rude awakening—I needed to stop treating him the way I treat Maximus. Maximus would tolerate anything I said, but Norman—he was too royal for me.
"Fucking let me go or I'll fight back," I warned him, letting my wolf flash through my eyes.
"Do it. You think I'm afraid of you?" he hissed back and let his wolf shine through his eyes. I didn't know why I was being such a hypocrite. I showed him my wolf but couldn't handle seeing him show me his.
My eyes started to sting with tears, and my lips trembled without me realizing it.
"Now you're going to listen to me carefully," he continued, making me wonder how badly he was about to scold me or try to put me in my place.
"You'll stay away from Penn if you don't want me to hurt him."
His threat surprised me. I expected him to call me names, to be angry that I didn't treat him with respect. But to threaten me just to keep me away from Penn—why?
