"Open your mouth, Silvia." The man grinned. His voice sent crackling chills down her spine as she tried to get away. 

But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't move. She was tied upside down. Her hair cascaded down and blood was rushing to her head. As the black ropes dug into her skin.

Her eyes were misty, her head dizzy as she jerked her face away from the grasp of the man. 

He roughly jerked her face back to its place. Forcing his thumb into her mouth. 

"Your struggles are delightful," He mused, stroking her tongue as she bit on his thumb hard for him to pull his hand back, glowering down at her. 

"You don't like my kindness, do you?" He sneered, cutting the ropes as her body fell on the floor at an abnormal angle as pain shot through. 

Grabbing her ankle he yanked her to the middle of the room as she screamed and begged for help. 

That blue-eyed monster smirked at her sinisterly. "Easy there, pigeon. Everything is going to be alright," He grinned as his hand latched on her throat. 

Her eyes shot open wide, she sprang up on the bed panting heavily as sweat beads trickled down her forehead. 

Another nightmare. 

Silvia rubbed her chest as if it would ease the pain. The wild ringing of her heartbeat in her ears numbed her as those hazel spheres bounced around the room's dark corners, making sure she was alone in there. 

She hobbled out of the bed into the restroom. Grabbing the sink, the girl splashed cold water on her face, breathing heavily. 

Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the dullness in her eyes as dark circles stood out. 

Sighing, she quietly stepped out before padding into the kitchen. Pouring some water she chugged it down. 

She felt so weak and drained. It was all that Alpha's fault. 

How dare he take her to the hospital against her will. She told him she hasn't learned properly how to control her magic. Yet he forcefully took her there to save that guy. 

Silvia was so glad she was able to save that guy named Draken. Though she didn't know him she did it for Aurora Colt. 

Aurora's family has given her shelter and support after she ran away from her hell of a life and she couldn't thank them enough. This was the only reason Silvia helped to save Aurora's mate Draken who was poisoned and on the brink of death, only magic could extract the poison and Silvia did it. It was no less than a miracle for her that she saved someone. But she hated how that Jerk-face dragged her to the hospital. He could've asked her nicely to help him but no. He has to be a crazy maniac. That jade-eyed beast. 

Silvia couldn't help but ponder more on it. 

Silvia had left Colt's mansion and come to this place in the middle of nowhere. Just so she could learn how to control her magic with Agatha's help. Agatha was the witch whom she met at Colt's mansion in the moon pack. Agatha was the one who noticed Silvia couldn't control her magic so she offered to help her. 

To learn more things about her kind and to learn how to control her magic. 

Silvia agreed. She was at peace knowing she won't have to face that moron. But she never knew he would find out where she was. Agatha said, this was a secret place and no one knows about it yet he found it out. 

The last few months went calmly. Being away from her dark past and that crazy jerkface had been soothing but only to some extent because the nightmares and visions kept draining her of her energy. 

Silvia sighed. Pulling out the drawer she stared at the pack of cigarettes before shaking her head. 

She was about to get back into the sheets when she heard a loud banging noise. It was the same as before. 

Her heart lurched in her mouth because somehow she had an instinct of who it was. 

Holding her breath she dashed out of her room to the front door only to halt in her steps when the person managed to unlock the door and the door burst open as he stepped inside. 

Her panicked hazel eyes met those jade green pools swarming with fury as dread coiled in her heart. 

Of course, he would come after her like a predator just because she left him behind at the hospital. 

He stepped inside before slamming the door with such force that the walls rattled, feeling his wrath. 

Her heart was constricted in her chest. Agatha wasn't home. She has gone to collect some magical herbs and hasn't returned for days. 

Hunter had come in the morning for Agatha but when he didn't find her, he dragged Silvia to the hospital forcing her to save Draken. 

The girl watched with bated breath as he prowled toward her. With each of his steps, she took two steps back. 

Silvia won't lie but she was terrified of him. 

She doesn't understand why he hates her so much. She still recalled how they met for the very first time. 

Silvia had come to his pack with Reid and Clarke. The three of them left Alonso's pack and escaped from that hell. 

But she didn't know that the alpha of the moon pack would hate her guts just because she came from Alonso's pack and was a witch.

Back then she was strolling through the gardens. Anxious out of her wits when she felt someone staring at her. 

That was the first time she saw him. He had a cold look in his glacier-jade eyes. His face was stoic. Tattoos started from his neck disappearing into his shirt. Silver rings clad his fingers and a tattoo of the wild was engraved on the fingers of his left hand. He looked like the perfect definition of dangerous and sinister especially because of those cold eyes.

He was so intimidating and daunting making it difficult for her to even breathe and he was the same now after all these months. The only difference was the light beard caressing his face. 

She gulped. His black hair was ruffled as he stalked toward her. Her back touched the wall and her breath hitched. 

Hunter stopped just a few inches away from her. His huge frame loomed over her small one like a death sentence ready to be given. 

"Now. Now, little witch. Don't be scared. Just tell me why I'm here?" His deep voice hummed across her skin like a rumbling thunder. 

Because you're arrogant, egoistic, cold-hearted jerk-face moron.

She wanted to say this but ended up saying. "I don't know," her voice calm thanks to mustered-up courage. 

She wasn't good with male proximity. It makes her anxious. And this man has no manners on how to talk to a woman. 

"You don't know?" He sneered. A mocking growl. 

"No," She said sharply. 

His jaw twitched as he grabbed her jaw forcing her face up and making their gazes clashed.
