CHAPTER 262 SEDUCTION AND SURRENDER

Claire’s heart pounded in her rib cage, her pulse a frantic drumbeat in her ears. She couldn’t read Hudson, even though she wanted to so desperately. But the way he was speaking, she knew she was not doing well with the plan. She hadn’t realized how deeply she’d cut him and how much of her resistance had affected him. When Elora said it, it felt so simple, like something she could pull off easily. But when the action began, Claire wanted to die from embarrassment. Now that she was on her knees before the mighty Alpha Hudson, it made her hate herself even more. A part of her mind warned that she should just give up and act like nothing happened, but another part pushed for her to follow through. Even if it ended badly, at least she tried to win Hudson’s trust. Even though it won’t come quickly, she started the long process anyway. He had asked her to prove it, but she couldn’t tell if he believed her or was about to call her bluff. And she had just promised that she’d prove it.
