Chapter 1 cupid

Park. He and Derek are childhood friends, but they don't see each other as much because Hunter travels around the country for months on end on these projects. Mr. Dark, Tall, Handsome and Sexy seemed proud of his resume. I smiled at him with fake sweetness. "I used to love that park. I'm glad you increased the neighborhood's carbon footprint through the roof and destroyed some of our environment."

"You're a tree-hugger, aren't you?" Anna must be right. We'd kill each other if we were a couple." "Hmmm... I'll have cheesecake. Are you thirsty? I'm dying of thirst. Yeah." Anna was pretty wasted. "We haven't even had dinner yet," I reminded her. "So what? Let's have dessert. Come on!" Licking her lips, she walked back into the restaurant without us. Hunter laughed. "It was nice meeting you, Natalia. And if things don't work out with Adam, who's annoying as hell, I'm in room 315 at the hotel." He winked and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "We could even kill each other... I've always wanted to die in bed." "Are these chairs taken?" Adam and I were finishing our dessert when Hunter walked over and pointed to two chairs across from us. The couple who had been sitting there had left a few minutes earlier. "Yes," I lied. But Adam was kind enough to correct me: "Actually, Eric and Kim were sitting there. They just said goodbye, remember, Nat?" A wide, arrogant smile spread across Hunter's face. He pulled out a chair for the girl, his wedding date, and sat right in front of me. "This is Cassie. She's a tech goddess, a Caltech graduate. Do you know Adam, Cassie?" Adam looked very interested: "We had a quick chat this afternoon."

But I didn't know you worked in tech. I graduated from MIT. I work with Derek at Clique, programming robots." Adam and Cassie's conversation took off. Neither of them noticed the grimace I made at the nerd cupid. I leaned forward, smiling, and said through my teeth, "I know what you're doing." Hunter leaned back in his chair with a smug grin that went from ear to ear. "I don't know what you're talking about." "It won't work." "You say so. But I'll be here if you need a backup." I drank the rest of my coffee and adjusted the front of my dress to show just the right amount of cleavage. Then I picked up the napkin on the table and discreetly dropped it on the floor. As I raised my fork to my mouth, I accidentally dropped a piece of cheesecake into my cleavage. Hunter watched the whole scene with interest. Leaning over, I touched Adam's bicep. "Do you have a napkin?"

They must have taken mine when they cleared the table, and I just made a mess of it." Like the gentleman he was, Adam excused himself from Cassie and turned to give me his attention. When his eyes dropped to the cheesecake in my cleavage, I knew instantly that I had won. I smiled triumphantly as the nerd helped me clean up my cleavage. Hunter's scowl felt like a victory. To be honest, I had already decided during dinner that I wasn't going to sleep with Adam-I needed to feel some degree of physical attraction for a man, even if it was just for one night. But I did enjoy teasing Hunter. "My hand gets sore when I'm tired," I told Adam. "And I'm still on New York time. I think I'll head back to the hotel." "I'll come with you," he replied immediately. Who was Cassie again? Laughs. But Hunter wasn't one to give in easily-I could tell that for him. He stood up. "I have a car. I can give you both a ride. Are you ready to go, Cass?" The four of us are staying at the Carlisle, I guess?"

I smiled at Mr. Insistent and linked arms with Adam. "I have a rental car, so Adam and I can come together. But thanks for offering, Tanner." "Hunter." "Okay." I smiled. The hotel was only a mile down the highway. As we pulled in, we ran into familiar faces-friends of the groom-at the lobby bar. It looked like the pre-wedding party had moved from the restaurant to the hotel. As we walked by, one of the guys I recognized yelled for Adam to join them for a drink. He looked at me before answering. "What do you think? Fancy a nightcap?" "Actually, I'm pretty tired-jet lag and all. But go have a drink with them, yeah. Have a good time." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, sure. I'm going to pass out on the bed." Adam gave me a quick hug goodnight, and I headed to the elevator alone. I was exhausted. Anna and Derek had reserved the top floor of suites for out-of-town guests, and I had forgotten that I needed to insert my key card into the elevator panel to access the floor. After pressing the button several times, I finally realized it and started rummaging through my bag for the card. I was busy searching when I heard that voice. "Natalia." I was met with Hunter's cocky smile. "You..." "Me," he confirmed. I looked around at his large, imposing figure. "Where's your partner?" He winked. "I left her at the bar with your partner so you two can get to know each other better." "Aren't you going to be lonely?"

I said sarcastically. "Maybe. But there's a way to fix that." "You're going to take matters into your own hands, aren't you?" I finally found the room key in my bag. Hunter chuckled and took it from me to insert it into the panel. Of course we were on the same floor, since we were guests at the same wedding. When the doors closed, the elevator suddenly felt too small for the two of us. It didn't help that Hunter was still facing me as the elevator started to ascend.

He kept staring at me from up close, and my body reacted to the proximity. "Don't you know elevator etiquette?" I asked. "Turn around and look at the buttons like a normal person." "Why would I waste my time with buttons when I could be enjoying a much nicer view?" "You know I'm not going to sleep with you." "Why not? You were going to sleep with Adam." "That's different." "What do you mean?" "I already knew Adam. He's a nice guy." "I'm a nice guy." "I don't know you." Hunter shoved his hands in his pockets. "Hunter Delucia, twenty-nine, single, never married, no kids. Undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture from Berkeley. Grew up next door to Derek, they've been friends since they were babies. He can tell you I'm a nice guy." I live in Idyllwild, an hour away from the happy couple, in my own house. I built my own house and have lots of trees on the property-that should earn me some extra points, by the way.

I had my checkups a month ago and I'm super healthy. And most importantly..." He took a step toward me; our bodies were almost touching. "I think you're really sexy. There's this crazy chemistry between us, and I think we need to take advantage of it." I swallowed hard. Luckily, the elevator arrived and the doors opened. I needed air that didn't smell like Hunter Delucia, so I walked around the tree man and out. He followed me. When I stopped abruptly, realizing I was going the wrong way, he nearly ran me over. His hands caught me, his fingers pressing into my hips to keep me from falling face first. "Whoa. Are you okay?" "Oh my! You almost knocked me over." "You stopped dead in your tracks." – If he hadn't been glued to me, he wouldn't have run me over. We w

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
