I just wanted to go to the Halloween party to dance and show off my fairy costume I worked so hard on.

But somehow I ended up in the monster realm, prey to a horned creature with claws, four arms, a wicked tail, and flaming eyes.

Unfortunately, this isn't anything like the primal monster romance novels I love to read.

Though, the longer he hunts me, the more I think this nightmare might end up becoming my darkest fantasy.

The Ancient:

There's a tempting little human female in my home. My fated mate. But I swore off love long ago. Never again. I've learned from my mistakes.

I don't need her and will reject our bond. Fates be damned.

At least, that's the lie I tell myself.

Because I'm enjoying this hunt, and her fear calls for me to claim what is mine.

I bet she tastes delicious.
