Calvin's POV
For a moment, we just stared at each other, neither of us willing to back down. Her eyes were blazing, daring me to try it, but I could see the flicker of hesitation beneath her glare.
"Quite a bold threat, Alpha," she muttered, crossing her arms. "You wouldn't dare."
I leaned in slightly, my voice low. "Try me."
Her nostrils flared. For a second, I thought she'd slap me or worse, walk away again. But instead, she huffed, rolled her eyes, and turned sharply on her heel. "Fine. Whatever. I'll go."
I didn't move until she brushed past me, the faint scent of jasmine and rain clinging to the air between us. My wolf purred with satisfaction. She walked ahead, muttering something under her breath about arrogant Alphas, and I followed behind, silent.
