HUNTER'S P.O.V (SIX MONTHS AGO) Birthdays are supposed to smell like cake and candles, but mine smelled like blood instead. "Ma, I'm home!" It was the day after my twenty-first birthday. My girlfriend, Vera, had planned a huge surprise party for me. Well, it wasn't much of a surprise because she threw me a party every year since we started dating. It had become a yearly ritual, so I already knew she was planning one. All I had to do was act surprised each year and yesterday I did. Almost everyone was in attendance. My friends, Vera's friends and a few of our course mates that I spoke to from time to time. Vera's mother was there— and, to my surprise, so was her father, who was usually far too busy to attend events like this. Everyone was present, everyone except the only family I had—my mother. "Of course I invited her, we've been planning this party together for weeks." That was Vera's response when I asked her about my mother's whereabouts. Halfway through the p

VERA'S P.O.V Hunter's palm struck my cheek, forcing my head to snap to the side. For a split second, there was nothing, just a ringing white noise flooding my ears—then the sting came hot. "What do you want from me?" My boyfriend questioned. He was drunk again, I knew that the second he came into the room, before he went looking for his beer. "Hunter," I whispered, my voice inaudible. "I'm here now Vera, what do you want from me?" He repeated. My mind scrambled and my thoughts tripped over each other. What answer did I have to that? I had many answers because I wanted many things from Hunter. *I want a man who loves me. I want this to stop. I want you to treat me right, and if you don't, I want out.* But I knew better than to say any of that. "Nothing," I cried instead, too afraid to confront him. The look in his dark brown eyes changed, not anger exactly, but something much worse. Hunter lunged towards me; his fingers closed around my throat before I c

VERA'S P.O.V Hunter's hands grabbed the sides of my face. He bent to meet me, taking my lips into his. His kiss was soft. It lingered on my lips even after he pulled back. He dipped in again, consuming them once more, this time, our tongues battled for control. His was more dominant as it pushed through my throat. His hands dropped to my neck, encircling it. I ignored the sting of pain I felt. Enjoying the taste of his hot, wet mouth. He tried to pull away, but I didn't let him. I bite down hard on his bottom lip, dragging it out. It was about time I fought for myself and punish him for everything he'd done, he deserved to feel the same pain I felt. Hunter growled against my lips. He sucked hard on my tongue, mumbling the words "Fucking perfect," against me. I'm not hurting him, only pleasuring him more. He pulled back, and I let him go, not biting him down like before. "Open," he said, his hand still gripped my neck. My mouth opened and Hunter salivated, spitting into my

HUNTER'S P.O.V"Fuck..I did this."The memories hit like a sledgehammer to the skull. Last night, her body was against the wall, she cried endlessly.I couldn't remember everything, but I knew I choked her, not once, but multiple times. I told her to stop crying while I kept going like a monster. "Baby..." My voice came out hoarse, almost broken.Her lashes fluttered as she fought back a tidal wave of tears, one slip and they'd fall.I reached for her hand, pulling her close to me, her body stiffened, but she didn't resist, not really, but she didn't melt into me either. She only let me hold her because she was tired, not because she wanted to.She cried into my chest, her tears soaked through my shirt, and I let her— it was the least I deserved.Her head is cradled in my arms, and I bend to kiss the top of it, listening to her sniff through the tears. What could I say to fix this?Another apology? Another promise? She's heard them all; she was tired of them. Words meant nothing no

HUNTER'S P.O.V The car in front of me refused to move. I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. I was going to lose it if the chick in the red car didn't move. A horn blared behind me. "Can you please, maybe hurry the fuck up?" Someone yelled out of the window. "Jesus Christ..." I muttered under my breath. The girl in the red car inched forward slower than a damn snail. I bent my head, peeking under the windshield to see the holdup.I saw it, a yellow "LEARNER" tag dangled from her bumper. Great, a learner, right in the middle of peak school traffic. I slumped back in my seat with a bitter exhale. This mess was going to take forever and I was already late for my first lecture.My phone started buzzing angrily beside me, it was my alarm, a not-so-gentle reminder that I should be in class already. I slammed my thumb on the screen to shut it off and looked ahead again. Why the hell wasn't anyone helping the learner? Giving directions or anything? Just a terr
