Greyson - Part 3: An Alpha Billionaire Shifter Romance (The Silver Moon Pack) Read Online Free PDF Page B

happen to me. Please…” The uncertainty of what was to come was doing her head in, especially after all she’d been through. And though Greyson probably wanted to protect her from the truth, it was messing with her head. “You can’t protect me…not from what that sick fuck has already done to me. And I need to prepare myself… I need to know what to expect.”
    Greyson punched his fist into the hard tile floor again and again, not stopping until the tile was cracked and his fist was bloody, even as she flinched with each punch. She’d never seen him so angry…so frustrated…so broken. He took a minute more, taking one deep breath after another, before finally pushing the words past his clenched teeth. “Did he shift into a wolf when he bit you?”
    She nodded, trying to control the sudden shuddering of her body as one image after another flashed through her mind, reliving the terror of being tied to the bed when Flint shifted into a massive wolf and sunk his sharp teeth into her flesh, repeatedly biting her. Except that she couldn’t control the terror that seized her, just like she hadn’t been able to control any of what happened to her. And so she reached out to the one person who could see her through this, her entire body trembling and shaking uncontrollably. “I need you, Greyson… I need you to hold me…to make it stop.”
    “I’m right here, love.” He held her tightly in his embrace, but it wasn’t enough. Already barefoot, he didn’t bother stripping down. Just slipped into the tub next to her, pulling her into his arms and holding her to his muscular body. “I’ve got you. You’re safe now.”
    Except that she wasn’t. Not when she could still remember Flint’s touch, or when she couldn’t shake the feeling of being pinned below his body as his teeth sank into her flesh and she screamed herself raw—and not when she might become a shifter, if the Change didn’t kill her first. Because already, something felt off, every muscle in her body aching—and she was starting to suspect that it wasn’t just from the abuse she’d sustained. “Is that all it takes? To be bitten while he’s a wolf?”
    “Juno…this can wait.”
    She shook her head, and was rewarded with a pounding pain at her temples, piercing and blinding. “No— it can’t wait . I need to know. Now .”
    “It needs to be during the full moon—and though that’s not until tomorrow, this isn’t an exact science, and we’re a lot closer to the full moon than I’d like. But then there’s the fact that you’re a Laighir , and I don’t think anyone knows how that will affect things.” He kissed the top of her head, his strong arms wrapped around her battered body and broken soul, holding her tightly to him as if they might both break apart into a million pieces if he let go. “Juno…fuck…this is killing me. I’m so fucking sorry…”
    “Don’t… It’s not your fault.” Despite the steaming hot water, Juno felt achy and chilled, like she had the flu—except that it was magnified twenty-fold, and coming on faster than anything she’d ever felt before. Even her head suddenly felt muddled, her thoughts a jumbled mess. “I tried to stop him…but I couldn’t get away… He had me tied down…”
    “Hush, love… I know. I’m just sorry I failed you.” The hurt and guilt in his voice killed her.
    “You nearly died defending me.” And he likely wouldn’t have survived the attack if he hadn’t been a shifter—and even then, she’d needed to heal him. She fought the shiver that left her body tense and quivering, only to fail miserably. “Greyson…I think it’s happening. I can feel it…it’s taking over…”
    Her head fell back against his shoulder, suddenly feeling too heavy to hold up, her vision narrowing as she tried to blink everything back into focus. But her eyes slipped shut as she fought against the tremors, not even sure when exactly Greyson had gotten her out of the bath and into his
