Aurelia’s face froze. “This… this was especially for you…”

Aubrey discovered she genuinely enjoyed toying with her. Her smile stayed calm and steady. “So, are you saying you don’t want it?”
“No…”
Aurelia felt like she had dug her own grave. But with Jax watching nearby, her chest rose and fell furiously before she forced a stiff smile.
“I’ll drink it!”
She took the cup.
But she had overestimated herself. In order to provoke Aubrey earlier, she had dumped in far too much bitter tea and vinegar. Drinking this was pure torture.
She had planned to swallow it all at once, but after only one mouthful, she nearly gagged.
As though expecting it, Aubrey’s hand shot out the instant Aurelia tried to spit it back up, clamping over her mouth.
“Swallow it. If you dare spit it out, I’ll make you lick it clean off the floor.”
In that moment, a thousand thoughts crashed through Aurelia’s mind. She wanted to shift into wolf form, to rip this omega apart. But in the end her throat relaxed, and she forced down that vile mouthful of coffee.
She tried to lurch up for water, but for some reason, Aubrey’s grip on her shoulder held her down as if she were pinned to the carpet. Even with her beta strength, she couldn’t stand.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Aubrey’s tone remained slow and soft, yet it carried a weight of authority that made the air vibrate. She picked up the cup again and sneered.
“Weren’t you begging me for forgiveness? And you can’t even drink one cup of coffee?”
At that, even Jax began to sense something. That coffee clearly wasn’t ordinary.
Aurelia’s tears streamed down, bitter as the drink itself, but she tried to defend herself. “Aubrey… I’m sorry, I accidentally added too much fruit vinegar. I’ll make another cup-”

“It’s fine.” Aubrey’s voice was pleasant as she sat back on the sofa. “As long as you finish this one, I won’t hold it against you.”
Aurelia’s eyes went wide with terror. Drinking the whole cup might kill her.
“No… I…” She tried to resist, but before she could finish the sentence, Aubrey tilted the cup poured another mouthful between her lips.
and
Desperation clawed at Aurelia. She wanted to spit it all over Aubrey, but Aubrey seemed to anticipate every move. One hand tipped the cup, the other pinched her jaw just so, forcing her to swallow.
One seated, calm and unyielding. The other, trembling and compelled to obey.
As she poured, Aubrey smiled brightly, her tone light and teasing. “How nice. This is actually the first time in my life I’ve had coffee you made. It tastes terrible, but that’s alright–the important thing is the thought. I’m sure after you finish today, next time you won’t make something this disgusting. I’m looking forward to it.”
Her star–bright eyes glinted coldly, a trace of cruelty curling her lips. In Aurelia’s wide pupils, she looked like a devil. Aurelia’s heart clenched as if death itself had her in its grasp.
Devil… she’s a devil…
Aurelia’s mind reeled. She turned her gaze to Jax, pleading silently. But Jax, having noticed the little tricks she’d played in the kitchen, was thoroughly disgusted with her. He turned his head away, offering no rescue.
And so Aubrey easily forced the entire cup of bitter, sour liquid down Aurelia’s throat—every last drop.
When it was over, Aurelia collapsed onto the carpet, gagging, scraping at her throat as though she could claw the taste out, looking as if she might die from the sickness.
