Kidnapped by My Mate

Kidnapped by My Mate

by Annie Whipple

“Good morning, baby,” he whispered.

He brought my earlobe into his mouth and bit down softly. It felt incredible, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that. So I kept my eyes shut.

“Hmm... I know you're awake, Belle.” He kissed my neck. “We're playing pretend, are we? Okay, let's play.”

I wasn't in the mood for games. Well, I didn't want to be in the mood, but I also couldn't deny the heat starting to build between my thighs… I felt him move so that he was on top of me. I instinctively spread my legs just a little so he could put his body between them.

Belle wakes up in Paris next to a gorgeous stranger in a room she doesn’t recognize. As she examines the man next to her, with the face of a Greek god, she realizes that she doesn’t remember how she got there. Was it an innocent one night stand? Or is the truth far darker?

Him: The brooding football jock who takes the seat next to her.

He notices her checking him out and leans in. She can feel his warmth against her. He places a finger under her chin, turning her to stare into his gorgeous eyes.

“What are you looking at, Piggy?”

Infinity

Infinity

by Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?
