"You little flame," she said softly. "You expose everything. And wait… just wait. I will see you after your results."
Drake's entire body went stiff.

Luna froze.
Her ears twitched.
Her cheeks instantly turned pink.
"No! I am NOT," she snapped fiercely, baring tiny teeth in pure defensive embarrassment.
Alpha Ryker's gaze slid slowly toward Drake, giving him a look that could stop a charging army mid step.
Drake immediately sat straighter.
