They spent the day in ecstasy and grunting. After an intense encounter, Danna felt exhausted and fell asleep, while he got out of bed to order food. When he returned with a tray in hand and placed it on the table, he settled down next to her, hugging her to his chest. He admired the beauty and gentleness that emanated from his she-wolf as he gently stroked her hair.

Danna woke up in distress and tried to move away, sitting up in bed.

Eros looked at her in surprise and got up to get the tray from the table.

"What are you doing? We'd better eat, I'm hungry".

She nodded shyly and followed him to the table, although she still felt a little uncomfortable about the situation. They ate in silence and, as time passed, Danna felt more embarrassed. After eating, he left the room, she lay down lazily and fell asleep. It wasn't long before she felt wet kisses on her neck, opened her eyes chokingly and tried to get rid of him.

"Will you be quiet? You're mine." Although he didn't like who she was, he was intoxicated with desire, he brought his mouth to her lips and began to kiss her gently.

Danna was attracted to her partner and even more so now that he had marked her, even though she knew he didn't want her, she didn't want to resist his charm.

At that moment, the alpha penetrated her madly, she felt his manhood pressed into her and it filled him with joy, so they did it over and over again.

When they had finished, his wolf growled with satisfaction and marked her again, Hercules loved his mate and he loved her no matter what. He licked the mark affectionately, then got out of bed and dressed discreetly to tell her.

"Don't think this means we're mates," he said sincerely, "I have a mission in the region and you're not in my plans."

Eros' words hit Danna hard. Although she knew that their relationship had to do with his zeal, she hadn't expected him to express it so coldly.

"I understand," she replied in a shaky voice, trying to hide her disappointment. "I didn't expect you to be my companion, you'd better leave and not come back to this room, I'll find a way to control my heat, as I've done on previous occasions."

Eros was furious to see Danna's defiant attitude. To him, she was his, even if he only had her as a lover. In a hoarse voice, he shouted.

"Omega, don't be bold. You are my companion and you must please me when I seek you out. I will decide whether to reject you."

Danna was overwhelmed by the fury in Eros' voice. Her heart pounded when she met his domineering gaze.

"I'm nobody's property, Eros," she said in a firm voice. "You're not going to force me to please you just because you say I'm your companion. I also have the right to decide."

"Don't underestimate me, omega." Eros grimaced and growled: "I'm the alpha of alphas and I can do whatever I want."

Danna wasn't intimidated and looked him straight in the eye.

"I don't care what your rank or title is," he said boldly, "you're not going to force me into anything I don't want."

Eros' lips tightened into a straight, angry line as he took a few steps towards her. Danna quickly scanned the room for an escape route, but found only one option: the bathroom, and she would have to dodge her partner to get there. Although it seemed impossible, she decided to try. She exhaled a long breath of air and tried to jump over the bed to escape. However, she got caught in the tangle of sheets and let out a scream when she felt him grab her ankle with one hand and pull her down.

"Eros, let me go!" he exclaimed fearfully.

He pulled her up by her feet and turned her around, sat on the end of the bed and placed her on top of his legs, face down, spanking her several times, making her eyes water with pain.

"Let's get this straight," looking at her with an expression of absolute seriousness, "don't defy me again because I'll punish you and I won't have any mercy on you." He quickly threw her down on the bed, undressed and, desperate for her body, penetrated her again and pounded her wildly.

Danna tried to resist his onslaught, but she couldn't, every movement brought her to the brink of lust, she wrapped her feet around his back to feel the deeper thrusts and relieve the heat emanating from inside her.

The next two days were spent confined and Eros only came out to eat. Danna was very sore from being rubbed several times in a row, and her beautiful neck was marked four times.

"See how you left my beautiful neck? I don't see the need for so many marks," she said angrily as she watched him dress.

Eros didn't understand why his wolf was marking her so much either, he replied calmly.

"Don't complain, I'm your partner, I don't see what the problem is."

"Can I leave the room?"

"I'll be busy visiting other herds, you can leave the room on your own, but you're forbidden to leave the mansion. My men will keep an eye on you so that you don't run away."

"Eros, why don't you let me go? I know you don't love me like your moon."

"Omega, you belong to me and I will never let you go. From now on, you must address me as your alpha and call me that. Obey and we'll avoid fights. Stop being so rebellious, I don't want to punish you."

Danna shrugged, resigned to accepting that this was the fate the goddess Luna had in store for her. Although she was a little shaken by his words, she knew she had no choice but to obey. Timidly, she answered him.

"It's all right, alpha. Thank you for letting me leave the room."

Eros smiled happily, for he knew that his wolf, Hercules, didn't want to leave Danna's side and he too was becoming increasingly attracted to her. He was determined to find a way to convince the Council of Wolves to allow him to have her by his side. He approached her, kissed her tenderly and then left the room.

For a month, Danna spent most of her time in the garden of the house, planting flowers and watching them bloom. Eros had improved his attitude towards her and almost every night he sneaked into his companion's room to sleep. Danna's heart filled with happiness on the nights they spent together. He treated her with affection and they fell in love on several occasions.

However, Lamia was furious. She had noticed the changes in Eros. As instructed by the Old Wolf Council, she spent her time with Eros visiting the packs, and Gin told her everything she had done and heard about Danna.
