"You can take your offer and shove it up your ass where the sun doesn't shine," I spat, my voice laced with contempt.

I was unprepared for the sudden shift in the air, the way everything seemed to freeze in that moment. One moment I was standing my ground, and the next, my back collided harshly with the wall, the impact jarring. His hand was around my neck, his grip unyielding and possessive. "Patience..." he hissed through clenched teeth, his eyes boring into mine with an intensity that sent a shiver of fear down my spine. "Patience is something I don't have," I shot back, my voice rising in indignation.

"This is the nicest I've ever been to anyone in my life, and you dare to turn me down?!" Desperation clawed at my throat as I struggled against his grip, my nails digging into his skin in a futile attempt to break free. He loosened his hold just enough for me to gasp for air, but his presence remained, suffocating. "You're a monster," I managed to choke out, meeting his fierce gaze with one of my own. I refused to let him see my fear, even if I felt like a cornered animal. "Am I?" he murmured, his voice low and taunting.

"Then why aren't you dead yet?" He released me entirely, turning his back, and the shift in the atmosphere was palpable, thickening around us like a storm about to break. It was as if the very air was charged with tension, ready to snap at any moment. "I'm not going to be your toy," I whispered fiercely, rubbing my neck where his grip had left its mark, a reminder of his power. "I gave you a choice..." He turned back to face me, his expression unreadable. "But that choice is gone now.

You will do as I say, and that is final." "Or what?" I dared to challenge him, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me. "You don't want to test me, little wolf," he warned, his tone low and menacing. "You said it yourself-I'm a monster. You really don't want to see just how monstrous I can be." His words ignited a fire within me, fury bubbling to the surface. "What else can you do to surprise me after what happened last night?" I shot back, my anger fueling my courage.

"You think that because you talk back, it makes you tough?" he retorted, his jaw tightening, a flicker of something dangerous sparking in his eyes. "Do you think that just because everyone fears you, I should too?" I countered, my heart pounding in my chest. "You're lucky you're not anyone else..." he said, stepping closer, his presence looming over me like a dark cloud. "Otherwise, you'd be on the ground by now." "Then do it! Kill me! Finish what you started last night; I'm not afraid of you," I shouted, the words spilling out in a rush of defiance.

He turned away from me, dismissing my challenge as if I were nothing more than a child throwing a tantrum. "Three days. Three days is all I'm giving you to decide," he said, his voice calm but with an undercurrent of menace. "If by then you don't give me the answer I want, I'll have no choice but to take what I want, whether you like it or not." "In your dreams!" I spat, disgust flooding my voice. "You have no idea the things that happen in my dreams with you in them," he replied, his tone smooth yet edged with something dark-desire, control, or perhaps madness.

I couldn't quite decipher it, nor did I want to. A shiver raced down my spine, a warning bell ringing in my mind. He took a step closer, and instinctively, I moved back, my shoulder colliding with the wall once more. "You're disgusting," I managed to breathe, my voice barely above a whisper. "Disgusting?" he echoed slowly, as if savoring the word. "You didn't think that last night when you came undone with just my fingers." Before I could process my actions, my hand flew out, slapping him hard across the face. The sound reverberated through the room, sharp and electric.

My palm stung from the contact, and for a fleeting moment, the world stood still. He turned his head slowly back to me, a trickle of blood staining his lip. It should have brought me a sense of victory, yet instead, I felt as if I had ignited a fuse in a room full of explosives. His eyes blazed with a ferocity that could incinerate, yet he didn't retaliate. "I warned you," he whispered, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, smearing it across his skin.

"I warned you not to test me." "And I told you," I hissed defiantly, "I'm not afraid of you." "No," he replied, his eyes narrowing, voice dangerously calm. "But you should be." He seized my arm, his grip tight but not painful, and pushed me against the wall once more, pinning me there with his body. It wasn't brutal; it was a reminder of his control, a warning of his power. "I could have anyone," he said, his lips brushing dangerously close to my ear, sending chills racing down my spine. "Anyone. But I chose you.

Do you understand what that means?" I remained silent, my heart pounding in my chest, unwilling to give him the satisfaction of a response. "It means," he continued, his voice dripping with dark promise, "that you're mine, little wolf. Whether you realize it now or in three days... it doesn't matter to me. But you will know." I swallowed hard, fighting against the way his breath caressed my skin, stirring something deep within me that I desperately wanted to ignore. "You don't own me," I whispered, my voice trembling but resolute.

"You never will." He leaned back, his gaze piercing through me, a mixture of rage and fascination swirling in his eyes. "We'll see," he replied, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. Then, as if the very air shifted, he stepped away, his presence lingering like smoke clinging to my lungs. "Three days," he reiterated, walking toward what appeared to be a closet door. "I expect a pleasing answer." With a forceful slam, he shut the door behind him, leaving me enveloped in silence, my knees trembling beneath me.

I sank to the floor, pressing a hand to my neck where his fingers had left an invisible bruise, a reminder of his dominance. My heart raced, not from fear, but from a deeper, more unsettling emotion-confusion. I hated him. I hated the way he made me feel trapped, powerless, and vulnerable. I loathed how his voice echoed in my mind long after he had gone, a haunting melody that refused to fade. Most of all, I despised the part of me that felt more than just fear... It felt intrigued. But he had given me three days. Three days was more than enough time.

Three days was the perfect window for me to devise my escape. Because over my dead body would I ever become his property. Never.
