I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. I had told Maddox I wanted to be alone tonight, but now that I was, I regretted sending him away. I couldn't close my eyes without picturing Hunter barging into my room to finish the job he started. He had terrified me. I remember looking at him before I blackout and thinking how much he looked more like a rabid animal than a man. I honestly thought he would hurt me, which was shocking since I had come to trust him over the past few weeks. Hunter broke that trust, though. He promised he wouldn't mark me until I was ready, and if it hadn't been for Maddox and Jaxson intervening, he would have sunken his teeth into my neck. I shuddered, remembering how his canines felt grazing against my skin that day. As much as I didn't want him to do it,
