Kraven didn't wait for another excuse or explanation. With one sharp tug, his hand clamped around Athena's wrist and he pulled her toward his sleek black car.
"Hey…!" Athena protested, stumbling as she tried to resist, but his grip only tightened.
"You've already kept enough secrets," he said coldly, his voice leaving no room for argument. "If you want to chase this madness, you're not doing it without me."
Gary moved as if to step in, his brows furrowed. "Alpha…"
Kraven's glare cut him down instantly. "You can take the other car, doctor. I don't trust anyone else with her."
The sheer arrogance in his tone made Athena's blood boil. "I'm not some prize you can shove into your car, Kraven!" she snapped, glaring up at him.
His smirk returned, infuriatingly calm. "Then stop acting like one. You're walking into a wolf's den tonight… better to be caged in my arms than devoured by strangers."
