Hunted on Halloween

Every day the monsters come through The Divide. For exactly six hours they have free rein before they’re pulled back to their realm. For six hours every day, it’s hell on earth.

So make sure the correct symbols are carved deep into your threshold and every windowsill. Make sure you recharge them with a few drops of your blood at least once a month to keep the monsters out.

And whatever you do, don’t go outside past curfew.

Ana:
How did things go so wrong?
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.
