Chapter 62
What lesson was he talking about? Ethan was scaring me to
beyond my nerves now. I knew I would need help now.
My hand slid into my pocket. My spare phone was there. I
waited till he didn’t notice, thumb trembling. I tapped my screen
and sent my location to Ava.“Please come. I’m scared.”
He glanced over at me. “What are you doing?”
I swallowed the text. “Nothing.”
He didn’t press it.
Dark trees loomed through the window as we climbed deeper
into the forest. Each turn was more remote. Finally, the engine
coughed and died. The headlights dimmed to black. Night
swallowed us.
“Out of gas,” he said, voice flat. “Cute location, don’t you think?”
I forced calm. “We can call roadside–the light’s on
RedEmergency.” I pointed.
He scoffed. “No bars,” he muttered.
He lit a cigarette. Smoke curled toward the ceiling. He stared at

me with that inscrutable gaze, then said, “So… just us.”
My pulse thundered in my ears. “What are you doing, Ethan?”
He took a hit off the cigarette and tapped ash off the window.
“Last few weeks… you pushed for a divorce. You threatened to
go public.”‘ He leaned in. “Tonight is the only way I can show
you who owns you.”
My breath hitched.
I stepped back. “What… what do you mean?”
He grabbed my shoulders with one hand and yanked me down so his chest pressed into mine. His face loomed close–his breath
heavy with mint and regret.
“We’re married,” he growled. “Even the police can’t stop me for
what I am about to do now. My word means more than any
number of phone calls, text messages, or cameras. You can’t stop
me.”
Tears welled. My mind raced:He’s trying to scare me into
compliance.

I jerked my head away and glared at him, breathing hard. “Who do you think you are? You don’t get to decide what happens to me anymore, Ethan. You lost that right the second you
“You say that, but I know you still feel it too. You and me… all
these times we had been together” Then, without warning, he
surged forward. I screamed and tried to twist away, hitting at
his shoulder, but his grip tightened around my wrists.
“No–no! Get off me!” I gasped, my voice rising with fear. “You’re
hurting me!”
He held me pinned against the seat, his weight pressing down as if trying to suffocate me. “You used to look at me like I was your whole world, Olivia,” he muttered against my neck. “Now all I see in your eyes is hate. I miss the old you. The one who only
saw me.”
I tried to turn my head but he caught my chin. His kiss was rough, unwanted. I whimpered, disgusted and scared, tears sliding down my cheek. The scent of the forest around us was sharp, earthy–and suddenly suffocating.
“This is rape, Ethan,” I said shakily. “You force me, and that’s
what it is. Even if we’re married.”
He stopped just long enough to whisper against my jaw, “The cops won’t intervené, not for an Alpha and his Luna. Especially not when we’re still legally bound.”
I kicked at him, my voice cracked from screaming, “I’m not your Luna. I don’t belong to you!”

His wolf stirred, I could feel it pulsing just under his skin- dominant, angry. Mine whimpered deep inside me, retreating in
fear. The hug that once gave me warmth now felt like a cage. I clawed at his arm, cried out again, but his fingers only dug
harder into my waist.
