The kiss was soft, gentle, and soothing. She kissed him back, nibbling gently on his lower lip. She wasn't an experienced kisser but she tried to copy his moves so it wasn't only her who felt good. He noticed her trembling hands cupping his cheeks. Her soft lips pressed against his. She wants this. She was trying and it made his heart beat faster. His free hand moved down holding her waist a bit firmly. He noticed she was aware of his lightest touch. A small graze and she would respond with a jolt. He peppered soft kisses down her neck to her collarbone. Hunter gave an open-mouthed kiss on her shoulder. Nibbling on the skin lightly, he sucked on the same spot wanting to leave his marks. She shuddered in his hold as he pulled back. Grabbing her arm he pulled her along making her straddle him. She clutched his shoulders tightly, staring at him a bit dazed as he peered at her face with sheer intensity. Hunter tucked her wet strand behind her ear, trailing the touch of his fingertips

Hunter couldn't sleep the whole night. He stayed awake staring at the ceiling while holding her in his arms. The morning came and Silvia stirred in his arms. She groggily opened her eyes and blinked at him a bit shocked before her lips quirked up at the corner and she smiled at him through those beautiful hazel dunes. "Good morning," She whispered. "Morning," Hunter rasped. Leaning in closer he kissed the crown of her head and her smile deepened. Silvia gulped realising she was naked and clinging to him. She cautiously tried to pull back but his arm around her waist didn't let her move. "Stay," He said. Voice gruff. All of a sudden he looked so serious. She was still embarrassed about what happened last night. Was he angry because she ruined the mood? But he was sweet to her when she fell asleep. She didn't know what to do or what to make of his solemn behavior. The worst-case scenarios which were right at the door of her head barged in and induced havoc. Silvia tried not to le

Silvia walked into the warehouse which reeked of cigarettes and booze. The hair at the nape of her neck stood at the familiar sneers that were thrown her way. She was clothed in black from top to bottom. Her eyes had lost the sparkle in them. She was cautious. Her stance was wary and her eyes observing as she made her way further into the warehouse. Alonso's men were everywhere. Silvia inhaled sharply when she saw Alpha Alonso sitting on a broken sofa in the middle of the crowd. Upon seeing her they parted ways as she trekked over to him. The eyes of his men on her had ants crawling on her skin. Silvia came to a stop right in front of him. She quietly kneeled and then bowed, touching her forehead on the floor as if prostrating in front of a God. His men snickered at her. Alonso tapped his foot on the side of her head and that was her cue to raise her head. She didn't even straighten when a harsh smack landed on her face causing her to fall to her side on the floor with a thud. Her

One of Alonso's men rushed inside, heaving. "My king, we couldn't find the princess and her step sisters," The guy informed and Alonso's face soured. "The f*ck you mean? Look for them! They couldn't have escaped so far!" Alonso growled as some of his men hurried out to catch the princess. Silvia stiffened when she felt Alonso's gaze on her. She was quietly standing to his right. "Come here," He said, crooking his finger. She silently stepped towards him when he commanded her to kneel and she did. Alonso backhanded her with such force that she tumbled down the small flight of stairs before gathering her bearings as her cheek throbbed and vision blurred for a brief second while her ears ring. "You sent her somewhere right?" He snarled as she slowly pulled to her feet. "I did not, my king." She said calmly. Her eyes were fixed on the ground. His mem snickered at her in menace. If she sent the princess away, they would be deprived of all the fun. "Don't you dare lie to me!" Alonso

He couldn't believe his eyes. She couldn't know anything. He was supposed to hide the truth from her because he had realized that he has feelings for her but she found out. Hunter stared at the spot from where she walked through the portal. He felt a hand on his shoulder and Luca appeared in front of him. At that moment Hunter realized he was kneeling beside his ruined car. "Hunter-" "She left," Hunter whispered in disbelief. He was still in a state of denial. His worst fear came alive. That was not possible. Luca pulled him to his feet and he turned around to find his whole family standing there staring at him. They had questions in their eyes. But the look in his mother's eyes twisted his heart. It was as if Emma knew he had hurt Silvia. They all left when Luca mind-linked them that he'll take care of Hunter. Instead of walking back into the mansion. He walked out. The clouds rumbled as Luca tried to stop him but he didn't stop. A chaos of emotions had caused havoc in
