All Chapters of Hunter and the Silent Wolf: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

***JulianPain winced from my neck, throbbing down my left shoulder. I lightly touched the bite mark already scabbing over while I slept, and sensitivity thrummed under the pads of my fingertips.Something happened last night. The bite took me by surprise. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t notice her elongated teeth until they broke the skin. But once she bit me, there was a symphony of color and only what I can describe as a kaleidoscope of light and music, projecting into my mind like I was caught gazing at the northern lights. She reached through me, into my soul and I swear I could feel her thoughts… touch her memories.And when she came, we were one. I felt every grain of her exhausted pleasure, beaming with hypersensitivity.Her sunset locks draped over the pillow and I spooned into her back, pressing against her naked skin on the living room floor. I kissed her neck while my hand slipped between her thighs, feeling each tattooed edge grazing my touch. I smiled, now

***Fiona“Julian!” I screamed. Panicked breaths left me as my cries echoed into nothingness. Hearing... feeling nothing in response.A pained whine left Kaia’s throat as our eyes fell on him. His head slouched forward as they forced him to his knees. His hand clutched against his side where the clothing shredded into narrow strips, the blood dripping onto the birch stained snow beneath. Pieces of broken bow laid next to him.Four wolves surrounded him, teeth bared as saliva spilled from their clenched jaws. I counted seven dead and one severely injured balanced against a tree. Those left standing were not the initial six in front of the house; this was the second wave.The ambush.The four stalked around him but it was for show. They had no intention of killing him… yet. No, they were bidding their time… waiting on me.Kaia prodded slowly from the side of the cabin, the stench of gasoline still strong in the air. The wolves’ attention turned our way, their growls stretching through th

***JulianI didn’t respond and instead grabbed her hips while sliding the chair back. Her thighs wrapped around my waist and pulled her tight against my chest. My mouth wrenched over her neck. My fingers pressed the small of her back and she arched her pelvis into me, a small whimper rousing through the air. I moved up, catching her jaw as I nibbled along the edges until I found her lips. Carnal pleasure fused between us as our mouths met, sharing between breaths as everything poured and dripped into our touch. Electricity coursed through me… pulling her, grasping for more.Our tongues collided and skimmed over one another. Unbridled, unspoken need rippled through us. Her fingers groped and tugged at my hair, winding herself around me like a second skin. And though I wanted… needed to taste every other part of her body, I couldn’t rip myself from her lips. Soft and succulent, promising me the world if I could just keep her beside me for all life.I loved this woman. She was my fire… d

***Fiona“Fiona!” Kaia cried out. I jolted from my sleeping bag, Julian still asleep at my side.“Something’s out there… I heard it,” she warned. I didn’t move a muscle, perking my ears to hear past the faint winter air as it brushed against the nylon fabric of the tent.Nothing. Not a bird, not a trampling of animals… nothing.Panic pecked at my chest. I whimpered slightly as I nudged Julian. If I called out to him, I had no idea if he would hear through the link while he slept.“Julian, wake up!” I called out, louder this time, but he only turned over on his side.I bit my bottom lip. Only an idiot would go out there alone. We would wait it out, see if we heard any sounds come closer. A crippling dread fell over me, I felt so small, in a forest of creatures I wouldn’t bat an eye at, it all seemed so ominous and unnerving. I tried to tuck back into him as I curled my hands against his shoulders.Suddenly, something pierced the tent. A blade drew from the top and sliced a line straigh

***FionaHis driver walked around and opened the door for us. Greyson reached over and roughly took my hand, almost dragging me out. Vomit sat high in my chest. His proximity alone made me nauseous.I glanced up – Carter Mansion, the largest home sitting at the peak of The Hills. It was like a castle placed on top of a castle, with furnished rooms stretching in every direction. Immaculate stone carved siding lead to valley peaked roofs, showcasing gorgeous marble pillars at the entrance. Large, rounded windows scaled from floor to ceiling.My knees buckled from under me. This was not heaven; I had again entered the Gates of Hell. I had promised myself that I would never return here… alive. And yet here I was.His hand still gripped my wrist, yanking me up the grand staircase, brimming with gold and embellished detail. While we passed, the staff kept their gaze lowered, heads bowed, and hands folded at their backs. He didn’t acknowledge them. My eyes skimmed over each person as my lip
