Her name was Cherry. The moment our eyes met was the moment I fell in love with her.
**~~~**
Cherry looks at me intensely, she says, "Do you know how much you mean to me? Your everything."
I look away tears falling down my cheeks, I reply, "But your parents-"
She cuts me off answering, "My parents will understand. My brother said he'd help us, remember?" Touching my cheek wiping the tears away with her thumb. Cherry then leaned in, and kissed me. Her mouth dominated mine, her tongue slipping in my mouth and tangled itself with mine. My arms go around her neck, pulling her closer, her hands traveling up my shirt, her touch made my skin tingle, and my mind buzz. Everything felt right.
The kiss ended quickly, and we stood there. She lets go, and grabs my hand, and pulls me to her bed. She lays down next to me, putting the blanket over us, and holds me. She tells me her voice strong, and sure, "All I need is you."
I smile, and repeat, "All I need is you." And I fall asleep in her arms.
Bound by a curse and controlled by a dangerous shifter, Kaia has no hope of escaping her cruel fate until her pack is raided by a powerful Alpha who she discovers is her fated mate-and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
