push herdown the hall, relaxing against him as if  she’d given up the fight and would go along with him now.
    In response, he loosened his hold, enough  that when he laid her down on the bedshe forced the shift. Her teeth elongated first and before he had a chance to pin herdown, she sank them deep into his arm.
    Peter screamed and yanked his arm away. “You bitch! You’ll pay for that!”
    She scrambled off the bed but he caught  her hair before she could escape the bedroom. Tears filled her eyes as he dragged her back by her ponytail, then threw her tothe floor, shifting partially so that  his strength overpowered her. Pulling his arm back, he struck her across the face, his unsheathed  claws tearing into  her skin. An explosion rocked her temporarily blind. Searing fire burned along her temple and cheek, rendering her momentarily dazed.
    While she fought for clarity, he sat on top of her middle and began to tear at her clothes.

    No! No, no, no! This was   not   going to happen!
    Dizziness pounded at her and she struggled to keep Peter’s face in focus. Warm liquid oozed  down her neck. She didn’t need  to touch it to know it was blood.
    He ripped her shirt open, reaching for her  breasts and squeezing them so hard that pain shot through her.
    “You’re going to pay for making me wait,” he growled. “And for riding that bastard Devlin instead of me!”
    She wished she was still dressed instead of just her long shirt and underwear. Hequickly tore her panties, reaching for the zipper of his pants and yanking it down.
    Bile rose up in her throat and she was  afraid she’d throw up. She was too angry to feel the fear. Too livid to just lie there and let him rape her. No way was she giving up without a fight. She tamped down the nausea and continued to force her body to change, her strength growing more with each passing second.
    It was a race to see which one of them could complete the transformation first, since
    he could easily take  her in wolf form, too.  Her fingernails became claws and she lashed  out at him with wolf strength, pushing him off long enough to scramble onto her haunches and tear into his upper arm with her teeth. Peter screamed, but his rage made  him stronger and he jumped back on top of  her, flipping her over onto her stomach and  pressing his knee into her upper back.
    She couldn’t breathe! He’d cut off her  oxygen, the shock delaying her ability tocompletely change. But he’d had  plenty of  time, nearly half shifted now and growing instrength.
    “I want to take you like this. Human to  human. I want to hear you scream when I sink my cock into you.”
    “I won’t scream for you, you sonofabitch,” she managed between gasping breaths.  “And if you rape me, you will suffer the consequences,” she bit back, her teeth clenchedin an effort to force him off her.
    His laughter spoke of near hysteria. “I know  the laws here as well as you. Lupinelaw supersedes human and you know that. Now  spread your legs so I can take what’s mine.”
    She’d die fighting him before she ever let  him touch her. She’d  just wait him outagain, relax enough that he’d let down his guard. Only this time she’d go for his throat.
    But when she felt the tip of his cock against her buttocks, she began to worry.  If hesucceeded in penetrating her, all was lost. He could rightly claim her as his.
    Sweat poured from her as she fought. Her  skin burned where his claws dug in to hold her down. When he growled and ripped into her shoulder with  his teeth, she knew she had to do something now.  But she couldn’t breathe with  his weight on  top of her. Without air,  she couldn’t struggle, couldn’t fight.
    Goddamn it! She hated being a woman.

    Peter would pay for this. Somehow, someway, if she had to kill the prick herself, he’d pay for what he was about to do. She  gritted her teeth and prepared to fight him,no
