CHAPTER SIXTY

[Aiden's POV]. The car rolled down the road at blinding speed, but it didn't seem fast enough for Aiden. Beats of sweat formed on his forehead despite the air conditioner working overtime to keep them cool. It had been hours since they began their journey. Aiden unbuttoned his suit jacket to relieve some of the pent-up anxiety building up in him. They had far passed boundaries and areas he knew, and the road where they rode along was utterly new to him. It baffled him how far Ruby had gone just to get away from him. His wolf huffed inside him, disgusted by his surprise. Aidan admitted to himself that he was a little bit harsh on her, but what could he have done? He could have had any of the able females in his pack, but his beast had to choose the one who was the lowest ranking. He couldn't accept her. He needed a woman who would rule his empire just like he would when he was away—a woman with a strong mind, powerful and influential. Ophelia was one of the perfect fits at the time.
