Mate or be killed. Our world has become a dangerous place, ruled by the ruthless Soul Keepers—demon-like creatures that take pleasure in thrusting us into the mate hunt. Every five months, two shifters are selected, one male and one female, and they are cast into the treacherous Woods Of Abyss together. There, they must fend off beasts and scavenge for food, but there's one crucial rule: both shifters must mate before the five months expire or face elimination. My name is Hazel Bonfire and my life is turned upside down when I'm chosen for this brutal hunt. Unfortunately, the male selected to join me is none other than my step-brother, Ashton Rider. Thrown into a perilous forest, we must depend on one another for food, shelter, and warmth. Ashton is painfully aware that his mate can see everything unfolding between us, and each time he betrays her for the sake of the hunt, it destroys a piece of him. . .I hate what it's doing to us—all of us. I hate that we do not have a choice. But more than anything, I hate that I'm beginning to feel things for Ashton that I know will destroy the relationship we once had. . . forever.

His Mate Or His Step-Sister Chapter 108
~HAZEL~Elias's smile was easy, the kind that promised no complications. No soul-deep bonds or forbidden feelings.Just a dance. Simple. Nothing to worry about.I should have said no. The word was already forming on my tongue—polite, safe, distant. But the image of Ashton's hands on Ariel's waist was enough to make me do the opposite. "One dance," I heard myself say. "That's it."Elias's grin widened, a spark of genuine surprise lighting his features. "One dance it is. I'll take what I can get." He offered his arm like a gentleman. I slipped my hand into the crook of his elbow, ignoring how uncomfortable it made me. Ashton was the only man I felt comfortable being so close to.Elias led me onto the dance floor. His hand settled lightly on my lower back, respectful, warm through the thin fabric of my dress."You're Hazel, right?" he asked. "The girl from the hunt."I tensed up, knowing he only asked me to dance because of the show. Still, that was the last thing I wanted to talk abou

~HAZEL~The village event buzzed with life, the downtown bar transformed into a night of music, laughter, and dancing. Strings of lights draped across the wooden shafts, casting a warm, golden hue over the crowded space. My stepmother had insisted we all attend, her voice bright and determined as she forced us out the door. "We need this," she'd said, squeezing my father's hand. "A night to remember we're still a family despite what those awful soul keepers put us all through."I didn't want to attend but they left me no choice. So, here I was, being tortured by the view. Ariel looked radiant in her red dress, just like she always did. It hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her graceful movements without effort. She was the kind of beautiful that turned heads naturally, effortlessly. I'd chosen my short black dress and sturdy boots. The dress felt bold, maybe too bold, but a reckless part of me had hoped Ashton would notice. That same part twisted with guilt every time I

~HAZEL~The fork in my hand felt heavy and useless as I pushed the meat around my plate for what felt like the hundredth time. I couldn't eat. Couldn't focus."You've barely been touching your food," my stepmother observed, her sharp eyes narrowing with concern as she stared at my full plate. She leaned forward, concern on her face "Is everything okay, Hazel?"I couldn't even lift my gaze to meet hers. My throat tightened, the lie already forming on my tongue. Fine. That was the word everyone expected. But I was far from okay. I was drowning in a sea of forbidden love, heated memories, and a jealousy so sharp it carved holes into my chest with every breath."I'm fine," I murmured, forcing a weak smile that didn't reach my eyes.She sighed deeply, the sound heavy with the kind of worry that made guilt twist in my gut. She reached across the table and took my hand in hers, her palm warm. "I know what you went through wasn't easy, Hazel. Believe me, it was difficult for us too. We ha

~ASHTON~"I'm so happy you're back," Ariel whispers, her voice soft and sweet as she pressed her cheek against my chest.We were back in my room after weeks in the Abyss. . .it should have felt like bliss but it was far from it. Ariel had insisted on staying the night, curling into me the moment the door clicked shut behind us. Her body fit against mine the way it always had but now for some reason, it felt like something was missing. I held her close, one hand stroking slowly down the curve of her back, the other tangled in her hair. On the surface, everything looked exactly as it should. The woman the moon goddess had chosen for me was back in my arms. I was safe. The nightmare of the woods was over.But inside my head, it was pure chaos.I couldn't get Hazel out of my mind. Not for a single second.No matter how tightly I held Ariel, I could still taste Hazel on my tongue—that wild, sweet, addictive flavor. I could feel the memory of her nails raking down my back, the way her b

~HAZEL~The fire crackled softly between us, casting flickering gold across the rough stone walls of the cave. The light danced over Ashton's face, sharpening the quiet intensity in his eyes as he watched me. I sat on the the cold ground, my heart hammering so hard I was sure he could hear it over

~HAZEL~I pressed closer, molding my body against the hardness of his until there was no space left for doubt. My fingers slid into his hair—thick, slightly damp—and I tugged, angling his head down so I could take more. I kissed him like I was starving. Like I'd been waiting years for permission

~HAZEL~"I know that this conversation might make you uncomfortable," he says, voice rough, as though every word was hard to escape his lips. "And believe me, I wouldn't have brought it up if there was an easier way out of this mess, but I need to get us out of here and it's the only way."My pulse

~HAZEL~"I have to get you back to the cave, where I can ensure you receive proper care," Ashton tells me, his voice tense. "There should still be some medicine left that Ariel brought for me, which might help ease your pain and stabilize your condition." "I don't think that is necessary," I lie.
