“Stop right there,” he ordered and to her surprise she was forced to stop. What the hell? She tried to take another step but found it was impossible to move.
“Turn back around and come here,” the sheriff told her, and she couldn’t stop herself from doing exactly what he told her. How could he be doing that to her? Andrew was never able to make her do anything! She glared at him when she stood in front of him.
“What is your name,” he demanded.
“Lily,” she snapped once more incapable of not obeying him. “What’s yours? Alpha Jerk Off with his pack of merry men,” she snapped in defiance, furious he was controlling her. His dark haired goon snarled at her and started toward her, but the alpha held up his hand to stop him.
“Yeah I know one day my big mouth is going to get me into trouble,” Lily said, crossing her arms before he could say it. The alpha kept his stoic face mask, looking neither angry nor bothered by her which made her, even more, irritated.
“Now what are you doing in my territory Lily?” he commanded. Lily glared at him and huffed.
“I am looking for someone, a doctor by the name of Xavier Thompson though I like to call him Dr. Frankenstein, His favorite hobbies are kidnapping and immoral experimentation,” she explained. Besides the fact, she couldn’t resist his commands she decided to keep his attention away from her.
“There’s no one here with that name,” he told her.
“Well, his credit card purchases say otherwise,” she snapped.
“Let’s go down the station and you can fill me in all the details there,” he told her.
“Thanks but I’d rather not,” Lily replied snootily.
“Well, I insist Lily,” he told her pointedly, “I’m Alpha Nick, by the way,” he added, and she growled at him. It was official; she hated alphas! She thought James was a pain in the ass.
Lily tried to ignore the looks of the people that eyed her they walked into the police station with the alpha in front and his two goons on either side of her. If she had any hopes of Xavier not knowing she was here it had been screwed over by Alpha Nosey here. The alpha ordered her to his office, and she followed stiffly glaring at him the whole time.
“So now explain to me everything Lily,” Nick demanded once his goons left the office and she sighed.
“I already told you everything, I am here to look for Xavier, what more do you want jackass,” she barked.
He gave her an intense look. “I don’t think I have met anyone who dared to defy me this much before,” he told her.
“First time for everything and I am the queen of defiance… jackass,” she shot back.
“With a very big mouth,” he added.
“Wouldn’t you like to find out,” she retorted acidly, and he raised his eyebrows at her questioningly with a small smile. Once more she scolded herself for her big mouth.
“You haven’t told me everything. For example, what exactly are you? Your scent is off,” Nick stated, and she cursed silently refusing to offer any information about herself.
“I guess I should take more showers if I smell that badly,” she replied with a smile. He muttered something under his breath, and her smile grew.
“That’s not what I meant, what are you?” he demanded and once more she felt his influence pull at her.
“I am an Aquarius,” she replied, trying to resist the urge to spill out everything, and he gave her pointed look. “It’s true,” she added with a smile, and he shook his head.
“Tell me what you are!” he demanded, and she felt the urge to tell him everything grow.
“I am one of a kind,” she shot at him, and he started to look irritated and pushed his control over her even harder.
“Damn it, leave me alone,” Lily growled at him, fighting his control.
“Not while you’re here in my territory sweetheart,” Nick demanded, and she again wondered how the hell he could control her so easily. She gripped the chair she was sitting in, and she started to break a sweat. Damn you, James, why didn’t you warn me, she cursed.
