Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.

Although orphaned at an early age, caused so much trouble for anyone who knew her, and was always moving onto the next place not caring about who she left behind, Hayden undoubtedly was a Beauty. Her hard, cold, sarcastic nature made her appear as if she didn't care about anyone but herself. For years that was actually exactly how Hayden lived her life. But one night, running away from another problem she caused, she ran into Theo. Theo, the intimidating Beast that everyone feared for his fathers actions. It was only a coincidence the pair turned out to be mates. But perhaps, it was destiny that they paved a road to a happy ending together. Or at least something close to it for the two terribly confused, rightfully inconsolable, and undoubtedly searching for happiness werewolves.

Inspired by a brutal lesson he once witnessed-a tiger mercilessly taking down its prey-the hunter's affection transforms into a deadly obsession. His love becomes a twisted game of dominance and possession, leading to a night of unimaginable horror where he enacts a gruesome ritual, consuming her flesh in a grotesque communion with his inner darkness. Fleeing to a new city, he attempts to hide from his past, taking up a job and blending into the mundane routine of urban life. But the forest, with its haunting memories, remains a constant whisper in his mind, urging him to hunt again.

Over one hundred years ago, the supernatural came out of hiding. A Great War ensued, causing the human race to fall to the bottom of the food chain and werewolves to come out on top. They hunted humankind for fun, their savage beasts creating fear among the lesser species, so the humans retreated into hiding. To keep the peace with humans, their ancestors developed a treaty; they would not kill mercilessly and in return, every year, all humans of chosen age were to take part in an annual hunt. Those captured did not return, falling victim to the beasts. Ailia Thorne lived in an old, secret village, far away in the mountains and well hidden from the beasts and their yearly hunt.
