“I...I’ve never had an orgasm before!” I blurt out, backing away a few steps. He sits up, dark hair ruffled and messy from the fingers I ran through it. His eyes, once wide, slowly darken. “You what?” He breathes. *** Running from a dark past, a girl stumbles into a territory ran by a notorious Alpha. He's cold, dangerous and poisons her, forcing her into his proximity. But she harbours a dark secret, which when revealed to the wrong people, causes her to become tied to the Alpha in an arranged marriage that reveals more about them than anticipated... Including the bond they share when they touch. And the Alpha too has a secret, an obsession. For her.

~HunterKaan and haven't spoken much during our trip through the village and past it, save for a lecture about how I have to appear to be undoubtedly in love with him.I'm not sure I'm that good of an actress. I don't think anyone could be...My mate has explained to me that he loves his grandmother, that she is one of the most important people in his life. For that reason, he doesn't want to disappoint her, and her dream for him to marry for love.I understand the sentiment. I just wish it wasn't me he is marrying.We pass through the countryside, toward the border of the Pack. Anxiety bristles through me, knowing we are drawing near to my home back, where people desperately await my return.People who would kill to get me back.Kaan doesn't notice the shift in my composure, too busy marinating in his own worry about how this is going to go.We finally arrive mid-morning to a small cottage centred in the middle of a vast paddock. The wheels of the transport undulate over the grass, n

~HunterI press my ear against my bedroom door, waiting for the signal.This meeting has been carefully orchestrated. This morning, just as the sun was spilling over the horizon, I snuck outside to the garden shed where I left a note tucked into some gardening gloves.There is no guarantee Edgar will have found the note, and will be coming to my room tonight, but I didn't know how else to do it casually.Now that I am to marry the Alpha, all eyes seem to be on me at all times.A single tap sounds against the door, right near my ear. Just like I instructed.I quickly open the door, letting him slip in. We shouldn't be disturbed, since it's so late, and there is a lot I need to get off my chest."Thank you for coming, I know it's a big risk for you," I murmur lowly, rubbing the back of my neck as I turn to him.He looks around the room, an unreadable expression on his face. I wonder if this reminds him of my room back home, except this is much larger, lighter and is missing my sister.M

~HunterI stare out across the crowd, feeling my breakfast churning uneasily in my stomach.The last time I stood before a crowd like this, my brother was being announced as Alpha, taking over my father's position. That day I felt sick to my stomach as well, but for an entirely different reason...Back then, I was angry that despite being older than my brother, I wasn't allowed any power. I hated that instead, I was destined to marry someone else with power, to give him heirs then disappear into a void of unimportance.Today, I'm the focal point. All eyes examine Kaan's new bride to be, their new Luna."What an incredible day this is, where we can finally announce that our son has proposed to his beautiful fiancee, Hunter," Cyrus announces to the crowd, sweeping his arm around to encompass us.Cyrus and Allira wanted to call me Livia to the crowd, although I pressed them not to. Thankfully they agreed to my terms, but only when I begrudgingly accepted being a lifeless, passive body on

~HunterYawning, I stretch back, letting the sun warm my skin."I don't know about you, Hunter, but I'm starving," Tay exclaims, popping the lid off a container that holds some strange looking paste.She insisted on having lunch together on the lawn, claiming she wants to spend more time together as 'sisters.' Unfortunately for me, she has insisted on making everything herself, and after living her whole life having everything cooked for her, it seems I am merely an experiment.I eye the food cautiously, although my stomach grumbles. "Me too. It's been a long day of training.""With Kaan?""No, he's been doing business with his father, apparently. Or in other words, avoiding me completely," I mutter, digging into a small bowl of grapes, popping one into my mouth.Kaan and I haven't spoken since he told me he is unfazed by the idea of me leaving before we can be married, expressing how uninterested in me he truly is.It's not as if I have suspected he would be interested in me, but it

~HunterI don't hesitate a moment longer, flinging myself into his arms.He crushes me into his, his arms wrapping so tightly around them the breath is nearly pulled completely from my lungs. His familiar smell floods my senses, bringing back memories I thought I left behind."Edgar...I missed you so much," I mumble into his chest.It takes everything in me not to choke of my growing emotions. I wasn't sure I would ever see Edgar again. I was convinced he would be suffocated up in the drama of me leaving, forced to move on and pretend I don't exist.Edgar pulls away, holding my shoulders. He shakes them a little, a grave look on his face."You idiot. How did you end up here?" He questions."It's a long story. How did you end up here?" I tug at his apron, at the cuttings hanging out the front pocket. He even wears gardening gloves, which is an amusing switch from the Edgar I once knew.He peels off the gloves at my scrutiny. "I followed you."My eyes widen. No. He can't be serious."Wh

~HunterI stuff a pillow over my face, groaning.What a miserable day. I’ve escaped one terrible fate only to stumble into another. I can’t tell if I’ve offended some higher power, or if I just have terrible luck.Kaan has avoided me all day, leaving me to stew over this bad news.About an hour ago I finally fell into a tumultuous sleep, although I’ve just now awoken in a cold sweat, the moon taunting me from its place in the night sky.I need to speak to Kaan. I can't wait another moment to find out what he thinks about this.Dragging my legs from the bed, I take a moment before I manage to stand. My injury still feelings terrible, my legs weak and useless. Determination better be enough to get me to his room.My doubts grow the closer I get to his room. It's past midnight, so I assume he's sleeping until my eyes graze the underside of his door, seeing light streaming from it.I knock on the wood before bracing my hand on the wall, trying not to keel over from pain.Kaan opens the do

~HunterI pull the covers up to my chin, muttering a curse under my breath.Today is meant to be the day. I should be loading up a horse and bidding this place farewell, and instead, I'm stuck in bed, trying not to writhe around in pain.I groan as a loud knock sounds from the door.It's opened tentatively, Tay sticking her head around the corner. "You're sleeping late.""I feel terrible," I mumble, sinking deeper into my pillow.All the progress I've made seems to have melted away, my strength having seemingly vanished as a sickness plagues my body.Tay rushes to the side of my bed, panic sullying her features. "What? Why?""I think I'm coming down with something." I heave myself up the pillow a little, but only manage a few inches. My wound feels like it's been torn open again, although the nurse assured me it's fine, that this may just be a complication with my healing.Tay looks towards the one bag I have that is fully packed with donated goods from herself. "But you're meant to l

~HunterI find Kaan around the other side of the house. Just like I expected.He's training on his own, his back facing me as I stomp across the lawn toward him. Azura has returned back to the bedroom after I made an excuse.In reality, I have something very pressing to deal with.As he leans down to grab something, I pick my cane and swing it at him, banging it against his arm. He whirls around, looking ready to retaliate until he realises it's me."What the fuck-"Dropping my cane into my left hand, I rear my right one back and slap him straight across the face. My palm immediately stings and his face doesn't move much, but the surge of anger that has possessed me doesn't care."You hurt her, don't you?" I snap.All I can see in my infuriated mind is Azura tying to pretend like someone here isn't harming her. She's been living in his place for years and can't escape. I can only imagine her pain.Kaan stares at me, his bare chest rising and falling with simmering rage."Hurt who?" He

~HunterTay slams her palms down onto the table, shocking me out of my half-slumber.Both Kaan and I jolt up a little straighter, focusing on the girl who finally sinks down into her seat, a grating smile on her face."I'm glad I convinced you both to join me for breakfast," she exclaims cheerily, picking up her knife and fork, digging into her pancakes."Mmm," I mumble, bracing my head up with my hand.It's far too early in the morning, and I got almost no sleep last night after my escapade with Kaan. Memories of it haunt me, although Kaan is definitely hurting more than me."I only agreed to this because you were cooking, and I much prefer that over whoever mother hired," he says, scattering some sliced fruit over the top of his stack of pancakes.I only agreed to this breakfast with Tay because I feel guilty about not being her friend."You look so hungover, Kaan," Tay notes, raising a brow at him.My cast slowly shifts over to him. Dark shadows linger beneath his red rubbed eyes.

~HunterSinking to my knees, I thrust my head under the surface of the water, scrubbing at my face and neck.What a miserable few days it has been, running for my life.Emerging above the surface, I tilt my head back, letting the dappled light shift over my face as I breathe in the balmy mid-afternoon air.I'm in another Pack now, far from him.He will be tracking me though. I need to keep moving.I continue walking, weaving through the woods, grateful for the easy terrain. The lush forest floor has slowly morphed into flat grass, blissful to wander over.My destination is still unknown. As far away as possible, and although I'm tired, far is still weeks away on foot.My wary legs, blistering feet and sunburnt skin is irrelevant. No distance put between us will ever be enough."Hey!"I pause, my breath catching in my throat.Dread, cold and bitter claws my skin as I slowly turn toward the origin of the voice, assuming the worst.A girl stands a few feet from me, staring at me with wid
