"Stop right there." Confused, I turned around. "What? I thought we're rushing?" "We are, but apparently you need me to explain the rules to you again." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "You want me to be quiet and look pretty. It's not that hard to understand," I sighed. "I'm not going to embarrass you, don't worry." He didn't seem convinced. "I'm serious. Behave." Behave? I arched an eyebrow at him. "I don't know if you've forgotten, but I am not your submissive." Something flickered in his eyes. "Believe me, if you were my submissive, you'd be over my knee right now for your tone and that eye roll a minute ago."

But, what will happen when he is forced to trust a stranger who he already knew he would hate at the first sight?

"You wrotе me a note, cast a spell on my hеart and bewitched me." ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ Since the fateful day that Edalyn Clawthorne rescued you from the boiling rain, you've been facing a war waged on the system that prides itself upon the elimination of your kind. Since the fateful day that Emperor Belos took responsibility over Hunter, he's been facing that same war - unknowingly affiliated with the side of the oppressors. Iniquity and purity. Savage and tame. Wild and coven. Does anyone even know the true meaning of those words, or are they simply means to pit youths of the same generation against one another? At any rate, you never expected to find yourself thrust in the middle of the war against the empire. And you definitely never expected to find yourself falling for the right-hand of its leader. Whatever, that's life. You never know what it'll throw at you. But now that you think of it... you don't quite know yourself either, do you? ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ "BEWITCHED",, HUNTER X GN!READER. - ROMANCE: CURRENTLY IN "SUUUPPPEEERRRR CLOSE FRIENDS" STAGE. - STORY: CURRENTLY IN "PRE-UNITY" ARC. - NOTICES 1: The title may be misleading. While this is definitely an 'x reader,' the fic is not centered on the romance and has its own narrative and story. Just an FYI. 2: Due to this being my first fan fiction, you will notice me developing my writing style over the course of the fic. I am highly nostalgic, so with the exception of a few revisions, the old chapters will remain unchanged. Please bear with the initial formatting, writing style, and potential errors. A rewrite, however, is in the cards in the future upon story completion. Thanks!! xx
