The Hunger

Description

I had no family, no friends. I was utterly alone and always had been. And once I aged out of the system that raised me, I decided to find out exactly who I was. Where did I come from? Who were my parents? What made me… me ? It became the fire in my veins. My journey led me to Scotland, the Highlands, and for the first time in my life, I had this feeling of… belonging. What should have been a simple hike through the Scottish countryside led me to things far more mysterious than trying to find out who I was. There were other things—creatures—lurking in this world, ones who were stronger, fiercer. Ones who were not human. Everything I’d ever known seemed like a fable now. And what was once a fable was now true. It was one of those otherworldly creatures who stalked me—chased me. I knew I couldn’t outrun him. I couldn’t escape. He was bigger than any man I’d ever seen, stronger than anyone should be. His growls were feral, his fangs animalistic, and when he watched me, it was with glowing eyes. I found myself at his mercy, chained to a bed and alone with this man who wasn’t really a man at all. I asked him why I was there, why he took me, held me against my will. And all he said was… I was his mate.
