Submission is Not My Style novel Chapter 30

Kali 

Jack’s fingers dig into my waist, his breath hot against my neck, but I refuse to let him think he has the upper hand. My eyes burn with fire as! glare at him, my jaw clenched so tight I can feel the tension in my bones. How dare he? 

How dare he act as if he wasn’t the one who sent Fury after me—who ordered him to bring me back by any means necessary, or else face death? 

Normally, I wouldn’t have cared. Fury was just another warrior from Blood Fang, someone I would’ve left behind without a second thought. But the moment I looked into his eyes, something shifted. There was something there–something familiar. And the thought of him dying because of me… it didn’t sit well. 

That’s why I came back. Not for Jack. Not for this pack. 

And certainly not because of this damn mate bond. 

I take a steadying breath, forcing my lips into a tight smile. “My lord. Your greatest Alpha.” The words taste like venom on my tongue. “Can we talk for a minute? Alone?” 

Jack doesn’t even blink as his silver eyes darken. “No. Let’s tal-” 

I don’t let him finish as I grab his wrist, plastering on a sweet, obedient smile as if I were just another submissive she wolf eager to please her Alpha. The pack warriors at the border shift uncomfortably, pretending not to listen, but I can feel their curious gazes tracking my every move. 

It’s obvious–no one has ever dared to ever drag their Alpha like this. Least of all a woman. 

Too bad. I don’t care. 

Jack doesn’t resist. He doesn’t say a word. His body stiffens in shock, and for a moment, I swear his hand turns ice cold in mine. 

I weave through the pack lands, leading him with sure steps, ignoring the murmurs and stolen glances from passing wolves. They don’t know what I am to him, but after this, the rumours will spread like wildfire. 

Let them. 

I remember the way to the pack house–the mating room, in particular. The place where I was forced to stay, which reeked of a bond I never wanted. The place I had thought I escaped from when I rejected him, and I swore I would never return. 

When we reach the door, I shove it open and push him inside with a force that surprises even me. Or maybe it’s just my anger fuelling me. Either way, Jack stumbles back a step, his silver eyes flashing with something unreadable. 

Shock. 

Annoyance. 

Amusement? 

I don’t care. 

He catches himself quickly, but I see the flicker of something raw–something dangerous. 

I slam the door shut behind me, chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven breaths. 

Then I turn to him. 

“I don’t belong to you, I snap, my voice sharp as fire. “Or to anyone else in this world. I belong to myself.” 

Jack says nothing, watching me with eerie stillness, as if waiting for me to keep going. 

“I didn’t come back because of you,” I spit out. “I still reject you. I didn’t want to humiliate you in front of your pack and make them question your precious authority, but let’s get one thing straight-“I step closer, jabbing a finger into his chest. “I will never be yours.” 

Jack stares at me. Stunned. 

His expression shifts–just barely. It lasts only two seconds before he collects himself. 

And then he smirks. 

Jack cages me in, his arms bracing on either side of my head, his scent overwhelming my senses. 

“I heard you call for me, Kali,” he murmurs, his voice laced with something dangerous. Something possessive. “No matter how hard you fight this… no matter how much you resist… you’ll give in and submit to me, your alpha and mate.” 

I suck in a sharp breath, my heart hammering against my ribs. I had been weak. Desperate. I had called for him–wished for him to save me–even when t swore I wanted nothing to do with him.
