"What about today? Why lie to Rasmus and get your men killed and tortured like this?" "Small sacrifices are important for big achievements," She said. "And also, now Rasmus trusts me even more." Of course, Rasmus would surely think she was helping him in getting close to Alonso but it was a part of the plan all along. "This is the first time I felt that you're being truthful," Hunter rasped, eyes still closed. Posture relaxed as he took in deep breaths, holding her hand firmly. Silvia did not attempt to free her hand though it was sweaty. "This is the first time I'm telling the truth," She said. "What's Alonso's plan?" "I'm afraid I can't reveal that," She said. "What would you get out of this?" He asked. "Peace," Was her quick response. Hunter let out a deep throaty chuckle as his chest vibrated lightly. His eyes opened slowly as he blinked once before straightening on the chair. He was just like the calm before the storm. They were in the middle of nowhere. An abandoned war

Hunter punched the guy who groaned in pain. Blood dripped from his lips as he wheezed. "We don't know anything. You can kill us. Beating us would get you nowhere," The bruised guy breathed. One of his eyes was fully swollen while the other was red with tears. There was no one in the slammers. Hunter had asked the guards on the watch to step outside and leave him alone with these f*ckers. Hunter has asked Rasmus to let him interrogate Alonso's men that he captured from the warehouse. "Silvia planned all this. Didn't she? She would get you guys killed because of her so-called plan and you both are ready to die?" Hunter asked calmly, tilting his head. They refused to answer. "Fine. Don't answer me. Just tell me that you guys are ready to die for her," Hunter said, pulling out his phone as he began to make a video of them. "We work for Alonso," He said. "Of course, so Silvia ordered you to sacrifice your life for Alonso's plan," Hunter said. "We don't know who Silvia is,"

Silvia sighed deeply as she wiped the tears. She was gripping the basin tightly as her eyes stayed rooted to her reflection in the mirror. It was close. Hunter surely pulled a good trick on her. She handled it this time but she won't be able to do it every time. She noticed the trembling of her fingers as her eyes glossed up again. That dumbhead bastard almost ruined her plan. Everything would go down the drain if she was thrown out of the packhouse. Hazel eyes stared back at her through her reflection in the mirror. The dark circles under her dull eyes were prominent but then again she had lost all the charm and happiness when she was just a kid. The way her eyes would gleam a tune of their own was all lost and the remains were just scorching dunes lost in the vast canvas of a burning maze with no way out except for her to writhe in pain. Hunter quietly stepped into Silvia's room only to find the bed empty. He heard shuffling from the ensuite bathroom, walking inside he patientl

Silvia stood there frozen like a block of ice. A chill ran down her spine causing a zap of current to engulf her. Fear wrapped its vicious clutches around her heart and she just couldn't move. Her eyes widened even more when he bit her lower lip hard enough to draw out blood making her wince. The back of her eyes stung with tears and she couldn't move even an inch. Her body locked up in response as she stood there like a robot. Hunter sucked the droplet of blood on her lower plump lip. The softness of her lips took him off guard as the intensity of the kiss softened. He squeezed her cheeks making her lips pucker out. He slid his tongue into her mouth caressing her tongue with his. She closed her eyes shut. Her hands were frozen on her sides. Hunter's free hand slid around her waist as he jerked her small fragile frame flushed to his chest. She gasped which he swallowed within the kiss. Letting go of her cheeks his fingers threaded into her locks as he grabbed a fist full of her

Darkness cocooned the room as Hunter sat on the couch gazing at nothingness. The glass half filled with cognac was in his hand as he twirled the liquid aimlessly. Sleep has abandoned him and he just couldn't relax anymore. His mind was fully awake as he kept recalling what transpired a while ago. He kissed her. He shouldn't have done that but the urge to do it at that moment was stronger. But now he realized what a huge mistake he has made because his wolf was clawing at his insides yearning for more. It was not just his wolf but him as well. Though he would never admit it, he wants more. He wanted to taste her caramel skin, wanted to feel the softness of her hair in his grip. He wants it all. Her lips were so soft tasting like sweet berries. Plump and luscious. But her reaction has left him somewhat muddled. Not once she tried to push him away. She could've used her magic to get rid of him but she did no such thing. Instead, she stood there like an immobile robot. Has something
