{MATURE +18}

*********************************** 
Returning to Black Mountain was my path to healing and closure. Yet, fate had other plans, plunging me into the heart of darkness. Here, forbidden desires and veiled secrets threaten to engulf me. Bound to those who thrive in shadows, I question: Can I ever break free? ******************************************** 

Welcome to 'Claimed,' a realm where the boundaries between desire and danger blur, where the shadows harbor more than mere darkness.

THE CLAIMING

"I say we put the feral mutt down once and for all. Griffin has been nothing but trouble since he came back," the dark-haired man sneers, scrunching his slightly large nose in disgust. His comment makes me dislike him immediately.

His voice is deep and robust, making even myself sit up straighter in a weak attempt to avoid being noticed and potentially becoming the target for that tone. 


"He has a point, though, Da," Liam interjects, causing me to flinch at his harsh words, his tone calm. "Well, not to that extreme, but he’s already attacked several of our men, and we all know he won’t stop until we hand over what he deems as his." Me.
