All Chapters of His Little Hunter: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

His voice was soft and gentle, almost caressing. It was nothing like the business tone he’d spoken to the Royal with. No, it almost sounded like he was speaking to his lover. My brows arched at that thought. It wasn’t just his voice that was tender, the look on his face was a reflection of pure longing. It was the kind of passionate look I imagined romance novels describing.Even in this wretched prison, he stared at her like no one else existed, no one but her.I was almost envious. I could only wonder what it felt like to have a man look at me like I was the most beautiful creature in the world. It would never be my reality though. That kind of treatment was reserved for pretty little flowers like Eliza and Lacey, not withered plants like me.I was stuck with my ever-one-sided crush on a man who saw me as nothing more than a sibling.Strangely, Eliza who usually threw fits when her servants accidentally brushed the fabric of her clothes, didn’t seem at all repulsed by his touch.Cou

DAMIEN’S POVMortification left me stifling a cough and I battled the crippling urge to avert my gaze from the witch, but doing so would be the same as admitting that I was indeed staring.‘’Get over yourself.’’ I said feigning ire, hoping desperately that my voice was clear and didn’t betray the strange feeling that stirred in my chest.‘’Really now, are you saying you don’t find me attractive, hunter?’’ There was a shift in her tone, something dark and almost seductive coating the words that rolled off her tongue, her pierced tongue. A sudden wave of heat rushed through me, emerging at the base of my skull and heading straight for my groin. Damn, I never knew I was a fan of piercings. Her full lips were pulled back into a smirk and her feline eyes shone with impish mirth. The dull clack of glass hitting wood floated through the room as she set her jug down and crossed over to where I stood.‘’Not even a little?’’ A dainty hand glided over my chest and my whole body went rigid.Words

The tension in the room was almost palpable the moment Violet left. Seraphine looked calm, her face void of emotion as she took a sip from her teacup. I watched silently, trying my best to hide the angst this situation brought me. What could she possibly want from me?‘’You can relax, Elias, I don’t bite. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other, so you should get comfortable around me.’’ She said, flashing a deceptively gentle smile. ‘’Have some tea.’’My eyes fell to the piece of fine china placed before me. Golden brown liquid sat in the cup, oozing a fruity aroma. It was just tea, I smelled no poison in it, yet I hesitated to bring the ceramic to my lips. I had no fear of poisons, working as a mercenary had made me well acquainted with them, but with the queen, you could never quite tell what she had up her sleeves.Her honey brown eyes narrowed, ‘’You’re cautious, that’s a good thing. However, I have no intentions to harm you. If anything, I’d prefer we be on good terms, seeing as you

ALLISON’S POV‘’With pleasure, Lady Eliza.’’ One of the males answered with a wide grin, licking his lips as he stared down at me. His eyes were dark with hunger and his fangs peeked from the corners of his lips, unnerving me. ‘’You’ll be keeping us company today, little lady.’’His companions wore similar expressions on their faces, like men faced with a feast after weeks of starvation. My body was the feast and they were eager to sate their hunger.Eliza truly was cruel. My gaze strayed to the female on the chair, and her icy eyes brimmed with mirth. She didn’t bring me here just to torture me. No, her plan was to break me and this was her way of doing so. Somehow, she’d figured out what I feared most.My gaze was torn away from Eliza when one of the males roughly grabbed my arm. He crouched down to my height, his face barely an inch from mine. He was so close I could feel his hot breath fan my face when he spoke.‘’You’re beaten up, but I can tell you’re a looker.’’ He said, tracing

ELIAS’ POVThe blade froze mid-air, its sharp point only lightly grazing the hunter’s skin. I watched a bead of blood form at the tip of the blade where it had licked the hunter’s skin before rolling down the side of her pale neck. My whole body was tense as I watched that drop of blood trickle down. Had I caught Eliza even a second later, then the hunter would be dead.My grasp on Eliza’s wrist tightened and she let out a cry before the sharp clatter of metal hitting stone rang in the dungeon as she released the blade.‘’Are you mad, Eliza?’’ I yelled, yanking her away from the hunter.‘’No, you’re the one who’s gone mad!’’ She screamed back at me as she struggled to free her wrist. ‘’You’re the one protecting a hunter! The very one who killed your brother at that.’’I flinched at her words, my grip on her loosening the slightest bit. She took the opportunity to snatch her hand away, clasping her wrist like a wounded animal. ‘’I’m not protecting her. I have my reasons.’’‘’You expect
