{MATURE +18} 

'I'm not like your previous partners, Ava.' 

'Why me?' I groan, struggling to wriggle out from under his massive body. Pausing, I meet his steely blue eyes and am ensnared by their intensity. 

'You were made for beasts like me.' 

*********************************** 
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

"Fuck, Ava," Liam shouts into my ear, firm hands on my shoulders and squeezing me, attempting to draw my attention back to him as my body shakes with fear. "Ava, love, we can’t hold him. His beast is in complete control, FUCK! He’s found a way out of his bindings and somehow managed to get past the secure door. Ava, he’s already taken down several of my men. We can’t stop him!" Releasing me and taking my hands in his, Liam pulls me up until I’m standing, placing a set of keys in my palm. "Ava, take my truck and get as far away from here as you can get. We’ll hold him off for as long as we can, but Ava. Fuck, I’m so sorry lass, he’s too strong. His Beast, we can’t stop him when he’s fully in control." 


"Liam, what’s happening?" I sob. Griffin's voice, the Beast's voice, was so wrong. I felt no love or warmth coming from him, the pain he has experienced over since he was a child, and then the shooting… OMG, it’s caused him to revert, all sense of humanity gone. He’s going to kill me!
