Chapter 1
Dante’s POV
Perched up on my elbow beside her, I watch her eyes move under her lids while she dreams. I gently brush her long dark hair behind her shoulder to get a look at my mark on the crook of her neck.
When I decided to take her hostage; I didn’t plan on marking her. Making her mine wasn’t part of the plan. Hurting my brother, that’s why I took her.
I planned on breaking her down, to make her miserable. She would be here just long enough to make my brother pay back what he owes me.
I planned to ruin her in the meantime. I thought it would take time to tear down her walls. I’d use her before sending her back.
So, if that was the plan; how the fuck did I get to this place, where I can’t let her go? Where did I go wrong? If I can figure out how to fight our bond I can send her back the way I promised her.
She stopped asking to go home like I asked. Honestly, I didn’t think she would. She's human, it's not like she can feel our bond like a shewolf would.
I had thought that maybe she figured out it wouldn’t get her home any sooner by asking. Now I’m wondering if she feels the same way I do. She may not know why she feels the way she does, but maybe she doesn’t want to leave. Part of me feels giddy thinking she would choose me over my brother.
How I’d love to see the look on his face if she were to choose me. And then, the look on her face when I tell her I don’t want her. It will surely be one of hurt, and shock.
Dropping my eyes from her peaceful face, guilt fills my chest. I think it’s guilt. I’ve never felt guilty about any wrongdoing in my life before. But with this damn bond, the pain in my chest is nearly crippling.
Not being able to take the pain, I decide it’s best if I get away from her.
As I start putting my clothes on, I can’t stop looking at her. Every curve, and line on her body is fucking perfect; and I’ve touched and tasted every inch of it. I succeeded in my plan. I ruined her. I ruined her chance at a perfect life, and a perfect marriage with my brother.
Fuck him and fuck her. That’s what I tell myself as I look back at her one last time before I shut the door behind me.
It’s time to remember why this all happened in the first place.
Time to send her back to nothing. To get back to who I am.
Even if it means killing her along with our broken bond.









I can tell this one is going to be interesting
Is there a book before this one? I'm just a little confused. I am excited to read this though it definitely caught my attention.
