He’s everything I ruthless, calculating, and hauntingly relentless, a shadow that clings no matter how far I run.When I’m forced into his world, the boundaries I’ve so carefully built begin to splinter. He moves like smoke through my defenses, seeping into places I swore no one would ever touch. There’s a pull between us, undeniable, feral—a dark thread tying me to the very thing I’ve fought to escape.But I will not be claimed. I will not bend to the weight of his will or the promises whispered in the heat of his breath. He may seek to break me, but I’ll wield my defiance like a blade.Alistair thinks he’s the hunter. But fate is fickle, and darkness cuts both ways. If he wants to hold me, he’ll bleed for it. And gods, I’ll savor every drop. less
