"You're playing with fire, Rosalie," Hunter growled, his voice rough against the shell of her ear.
Her breath hitched as his hands pressed against the wall on either side of her. Trapped. Safe. Wanting.
"Maybe I am," she whispered, not trusting her body not to betray her. "But you're not supposed to touch me like that."
He leaned in, lips brushing the skin just beneath her jaw. "Then stop me."
She didn't.
His mouth claimed hers with a ferocity he'd buried for far too long. It wasn't sweet. It wasn't soft. It was a man starving for something he'd never had but always wanted. And for a moment, she let herself forget the rules... forget the danger... forget the past.
In his arms, she wasn't broken.
She was his.
"You're mine, little Rose. Now and forever." He growled into her lips.
◌◌◍◌◌
He was only supposed to be a lie... until she became the only truth he wanted.
Rosalie Hayes has spent a lifetime locking doors and walking away before anyone can ask her to stay. On the surface, she's a poised, brilliant UN lawyer-driven, respected, untouchable. But underneath? She's all sharp edges and scars she never lets see the light. But when danger forced her to pretend to be in a relationship with Hunter Callahan, her life took an unexpected turn.
A one-time favor, a fake relationship born out of necessity. He was meant to be temporary. Harmless.
Now, years later, the charade has spiraled out of control. Hunter-the golden god of the NHL, all power and precision-has made it very clear: Rosalie isn't just the woman he can't have. She's the only one he wants.
Ryder Black-the man who knew her in the darkness, who remembers the version of her she buried-joins Hunter's team. He wants her back. And he'll burn the whole world down to get her.
Caught between a man who would burn the world for her and one who already bled for her, Rosalie faces the choice she's spent her whole life avoiding:
Run.
Or stay.
And this time, it might break her either way.

Entropy
He walks forward, pressing the blade into his throat. His skin is taunt against the serrated edge, and blood beads around it until it drips down his neck in a crimson trail. My eyes widened, wanting it. He is looking at me with those dangerous, glinting green eyes, daring me. "Kill me, then. If you feel nothing, you can kill me. Then you can leave.The choice is up to you. It always has been," He whispers. His words leave me as cold as the blade at his throat. My heart is subjected to this stabbing pain, like I'd turned the knife on myself, and I would rather it be like that. "But if you don't," he whispers," you are mine and all mine. We will rule the dawn of a new age, we will complete our bond, and you will forget about her. Make your choice." I can hear my heart beat in my ears, and I swallow agaisnt the rush. These are my options. Kill him, or agree to be his. I make my own choice. I can not take my freedom away. I can not be the mate he wants, but I can not kill him. With a deep breath, I turn the knife on myself. Aurora, a girl with only one name and abandoned at birth in a war torn land, finds herself lost in a sea of witches, drowning in everything she can never have. Or so she thinks, the night a divine interference rips her from her home leads to a butterfly effect of deadly, chaotic spirals. Something dwells in the unknown shadows of Aurora's soul, something lurking just behind the screen of consciousness, something passed down through the generations as greater beings try to avoid the annihilation of our world. Is she just another part of the fall out, another victim to an unending tragedy between two cosmic beings? There's only one thing that can help her, and it stands before her in the form of a green eyed werewolf mercilessly killing the witches she's grown up loving. She thinks he can protect her, but what will she do when he needs protection...from her? #12 in destruction #11 in strife
The Butterfly Code (Girl On Fire #1)
My name is Aeris Thorne. I am a genetically modified human. And I'm in serious danger. PAINFUL SECRETS STARTLING TRUTHS. UNDENIABLE LOVE. All it took was a chance meeting--one tingling glance across a darkened street to change my life. I'd been searching for my two best friends in the crowded Zenith Club, which was a really bad idea because I'm totally claustrophobic. I burst outside. That's when I came face-to-face with Hunter Cayman. Dark-haired, tall, and leaning against an insane sports car, my pulse went haywire. The young doctor had his long muscular arms crossed over his leather jacket clad chest, and all his six-foot something would make any girl's knees turn weak. But then, if what Ella said was true, Hunter was the kind of guy who left behind a trail of broken hearts. And heartache was the last thing I needed right now. Yet there's something strange, something almost superhuman about Hunter. It's more than that infuriatingly knowing grin. I'm trying to stop thinking about him, and I get the feeling he's avoiding me, too. Yet Deep Cove is a tiny town and every time we run into each other the tension literally crackles, sparking around us. It just figures that when suddenly I'm in danger, he's there to save me. In truth, I should be dead. I should be shattered to pieces. How fast was I going on that ATV when I smashed into those iron gates? Ninety? A hundred? And the men who were chasing me, where did they go? Somehow I'm whole. Maybe better than whole. There's no one I can talk to, not even my best friend, Gage. Gage hates Hunter. He wants Hunter's laboratory to be shut down. He thinks Hunter's a monster. And yet, if that's true, if Hunter's a monster...than what am I? I'm not sure what terrifies me more, the metamorphosis taking place inside me, or the intensely powerful connection with a guy whose heart and soul has become linked with mine.Complete
the prize of his love ( rewrite )
( rewrite ) Huntingtown was panicking; no one knew where the sirens were coming from. There was no electricity, and there was no way for the storm Sirens to be sounding, yet they were. The entire Town was awake; everyone had a weapon. They had grabbed guns, knives, swords, and bats if they could be wielded and used for self-defense; Renee aimed her rifle at the trees, looking desperately for an explanation. Why would a siren sound? They only sounded when they were in Danger, so where was the Danger? When the predators revealed themselves, that was where the siren noise was coming from. Renee could feel her heart jump into her throat. Her face went pale; they were here. They had found the Town. Terror and panic soon swept Huntingtown; everyone knew what those monsters could do. After all, they conquered the planet and imposed the "choosing." Huntingtown was created hoping that its isolation in a cold climate would keep the Predators away, but it didn't. A voice came over those speakers. A male voice Gruff and laced with a growl. It was almost as if whoever was speaking was annoyed and angry. "Although I have enjoyed seeing your little Town outmaneuver many hunters. I am afraid this is where your little games end. However, I will give you a chance to keep your freedom. A hunt. Your best hunter, Renee Madison, will lead you." Renee felt her blood go cold as she stared wide-eyed at the ship. She was unknowingly dropping her gun at the news. " she will be your leader; she will be my prize. You have a time advantage. Go!" The ship took off, looking for a place to land, all while the news sank into the Town's residence. Renee had known she had fucked up when she fired at one of those predators and hit him. She had proven herself worthy of the hunt. Now she has to face the consequences, and not only her but her entire Town has to. Renee had to win this hunt; the fate of her Town depended on it.

Mate. One little word. One big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart. They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but who's to say they're not the same. Killers, notes, blood, and mystery. Love, lies, and bad history. Hunter Rivered is the most powerful werewolf in charge of the strongest pack. Hunter never thought much of having a mate, he'd much rather be destroying other packs, killing other wolves, and training. Rosalyn Edwards on the other hand has always imagined her life with a mate. She was just a regular wolf in the Silver Heart Pack, who is as sweet as the name of her pack. All she wanted was to finish high school then travel the world- I know, very un-wolfish. What happens when the horrid Hunter Rivered decided to make a claim on Rose's Pack territory? Rose was never good at fighting. She could barely squash a spider, so how far would she go to protect her family? Or herself. Hunter is possessive, protective, and strict. Rose is kind, stubborn, and good-hearted. You know what they say, opposites attract, and mates are forever. Read to find what happens when these two opposites find themselves connected in more than one way. --------------------------------- Cover by @lisannemeijs Copyright © 2014- xX_jada_Xx .

For her, the mate bond is a fairytale for wolves, not humans. She's torn between the boy she thought she loved and the man who makes her body burn and her soul ache with a connection she doesn't understand. She fights it. She denies it. But the bond doesn't care. One reckless mark shatters the fragile peace around them, binding her to Colt and throwing them both into a storm of passion, betrayal, and impossible choices. His duty to marry another Luna could save an entire pack from destruction. Her refusal to believe in the bond could destroy them both. Desire is dangerous. Denial is deadly. And love might not be enough to save them. Together they discover more about themselves and each-other beyond their electric chemistry

"I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter." she grits her teeth, making Hunter smirk. "Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart," he says, fighting his wolf for dominance as he feels the sparks surge through his body caused by the light touch of her skin on his. The mating bond call was itching at his skin. "You'll be mine sooner or later, and when that happens, you'll be moaning my name out with those sweet juicy lips of yours," he says, running his lips over hers in a feather-like motion. He had to have her, he needed to have her, but before he could claim her, he first had to win her heart. Hunter Black is used to having any woman he wants at his disposal. Being the alpha of his pack has its perks after all. He can have any girl he wants at any time of day. At least... that's what she's heard. Abigail Montero was used to being the reject.
