Kimi thrashed against the forest floor as the massive black wolf pinned her beneath its powerful frame. His crimson eyes burned with possessive hunger as he lowered his head toward her throat. She fought desperately, but his weight held her captive.
The moment his razor-sharp fangs pierced her skin, claiming her as his mate, a scream tore from her throat.

She looked down and froze.
Thin red scratches crisscrossed her feet, angry welts that definitely had not been there yesterday.
