登入She was never meant to survive the Hunt, let alone be chosen by the King. Adeline Quinn has always been weak. Sickly, fragile and born without a wolf, she has spent her life as a burden in a world that values strength above all else. So when she is sent as tribute to the Lycan King and thrown into the Hunt, she accepts her fate without resistance. Until a beast saves her. When she wakes, she is no longer in the forest but in the care of healers who claim she was rescued. She tries to escape again but she is brought back by warriors. Among them is the man who slowly becomes her comfort, her protector… and her mate. For the first time in her life, Adeline feels safe. Wanted. Loved. Until she learns the truth. Her mate, Killian Hudson, is not a warrior. He is the Lycan King. The same tyrant who created the Hunt that nearly killed her.
查看更多Mirabel sighed in frustration. "I’m not helping you because I like you." She said flatly. "I’m helping because four bodies moving together make more noise and more scent than one, but four also means four pairs of eyes and ears."Her gaze flicked into the dark trees, then back to us."And right now, even weak ones are better than nothing. Plus, if I’m stuck in this nightmare, I’d rather not die alone while listening to you three bitch about it. So make up your minds. Come with me or stay here. But choose fast. The howls are getting closer."Another scream ripped through the trees. This one was much nearer than before. It cut off suddenly, followed by rough male laughter and a low growl that sounded way too satisfied. My stomach flipped."Fine," I said. "We’ll go with you. But if you start treating us like garbage again, we'll split. Deal?"Mirabel didn’t answer right away. When she did, her voice was clipped. "Deal. Now move. Stay low, step where I step, and for the Moon Goddess’s sa
For a second, no one moved.Then the crowd surged forward all at once. Bodies slammed into each other, tripping over anything in the way.I grabbed Sam’s hand with my right and Teagan’s with my left and pulled them along as tight as I could. My bad leg was already throbbing like someone was stabbing it with every step, but I kept going. I would drag it behind me the whole night if I had to.I didn't look back at the soldier. I didn't look back at the hall. I focused on the dark wall of trees ahead.In ten minutes, the monsters would be coming. Men with the strength of ten and the noses of bloodhounds would be tracking our scent, hungry for the "merchandise" they'd been promised. We needed to move fast.I had spent my whole life being the girl that didn't matter, the girl who was too sick to be a wolf, the girl who was broken and left to rot. But I was still here. And I wasn't going to let some asshole King or a hunter take what was left of me."Stay close," I hissed as we hit the tr
Why was this happening to me?Hadn't I suffered enough?Wasn’t it enough to grow up unwanted, to learn early that no one was ever coming to save me? Wasn’t it enough to live in a body that was already failing me, breaking down piece by piece while everyone else grew stronger?I was already dying slowly. Wasn’t that punishment enough?I pressed my tongue hard against the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood.Someone a few rows over started crying quietly. Through my peripheral vision, I saw the big, scarred soldier lunge into the crowd.He reached down and fisted his hand into her long, blonde hair.The girl wailed as he jerked her upward, dragging her across the floor like a sack of grain. Her fingernails scraped against the floor as she tried to hold on but he didn’t slow down. He dragged her all the way to the front before finally stopping.Then he grabbed her by the throat effortlessly and lifted her.Her feet left the ground instantly. Her legs kicked in the air while her ha
"Addie…" Teagan whispered as her fingers dug into my arm. "I’m scared. I'm really scared. What is he going to do to us?"I opened my mouth.Nothing came out.The words were there; You’ll be fine. We’ll get through this. Lies I’d heard a hundred times before. Lies people told when they didn’t have anything real to offer.I tightened my grip on her freezing hand but I didn't say a word. How do you lie to someone when you can already hear the end coming? I wanted to protect her, but I was standing in the path of the same storm.She was going to find out what the Lycan King was capable of sooner or later. When that happened, a lie would be the last thing she’d thank me for."Say something, Adeline! Please…" Her grip on my arm tightened painfully. "Tell me we’re going home. Tell me this is some kind of mistake...please, just say something!"I glanced at my best friend, Samantha. She was sitting on the floor beside me with her arms wrapped tightly around herself like she was trying to hold
