Hunted by the Masked PredatorHunted by the Masked PredatorLucien VesperLanguage: English18+ 373.3K wordsOngoingIntroduction"Please, don't. Stop, don't do this, please..." I sobbed, begging the monstrous rogue shifter in the dirty alley to spare me. But my tears only fueled his sick desires. He wanted to break me. Until a towering, heavily muscled stranger materialized from the shadows. Without uttering a single word, the masked man snapped the rogue's neck like a twig. He dropped his heavy raincoat over my half-naked, shivering body and vanished into the night. I thought I had survived the worst. But the very next morning, our cruel society unleashed the unprecedented Mating Hunt. A barbaric game where human women were released into the dark woods as prey, and feral shifters were given the absolute right to track, catch, and claim us. Betrayed by my best friend and abandoned by my own mother, I ran for my life. When I slipped and fell from the highest branches of an ancient oak, I didn't hit the unforgiving ground. Instead, I landed securely against a rock-hard chest. "Don't worry, little one," a deep, dangerously familiar voice rumbled against my ear. "From this moment on, I will protect you with my very life." Then, he sank his razor-sharp fangs into my neck. *** Traumatized and terrified, Gwendolyn believes her life is over when she is forcefully marked by a terrifying beast during the Hunt. She hates him. She hates his kind. She hates the raw, suffocating possessiveness he displays when he brutally chokes anyone who dares to insult her. She thinks she is bound to a heartless monster. But when she finally rips the dark mask from his face, she uncovers a secret that will change her entirely.Poor To RichPoor to RichQueenMuti-IdentityPrinceKickass HeroOpposites AttractFated MateSuperpowerWerewolf163 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeBound by Blood and VanillaThe Alpha's Accidental InternSweets for the Ruthless AlphaForged in SilverSavage Void: The Pit Fighter's MateYou Killed the Wrong OmegaBound by the Crimson SecretShattered Cages: The Alpha's Lethal MateClaiming The Spare TwinThe Alpha Boss's Fake BoyRead now
