“What do you want?”

The words echoed around me, taunting, teasing, as the city lights of an empty street in Ethica blinked off one by one.

As soon as I realized this wasn’t real, giant trees sprouted around me and I was in a forest lit by the moon above. I could wake up, but his voice called again in the distance as if it came from the night itself.

“Tell me what you want, little witch.”

“I’m not a witch.” I tried to yell, but my voice came out as a whisper.

The wind picked up, blowing my hair into my face, and caught the white fabric of a thin dressing gown that I would only ever wear in a dream.

My feet were bare on the fallen leaves. I tried to will some shoes onto them, but nothing happened.

Maybe this isn’t a dream…

“Coral!” I turn in a blind panic. If this is real, where was she? I couldn’t leave her alone.

A branch broke and I froze. But every instinct was telling me to run. There were predators out here. Wolves who dressed like men.

Glowing eyes shone in the darkness.

Run!

I flew through the forest with only the moon to guide my way and the tree branches parted easily for my escape. Each sure step brought clarity.

This was my world. My dream.

I didn’t have to be afraid.

Maddock stepped from the trees as naked as he was the day in the inn. The artificial light in that setting was somehow wrong. It didn’t do any justice to the shadows his chiseled muscles cast. They could only be appreciated in the natural glow of the full moon.

I took a full minute to look him over.

This was my dream after all.

“Do you like what you see?” He cocked his head to the side, spreading his arms out to give a better view.

I nodded weakly, too dumb to speak even in my own damn dream.

“Then tell me, little witch…” He moved across the clearing, backing me towards a tree as he wrapped his large hand around the back of my neck, tilting my chin up with his thumb. “What is it that you want?”

The moment he breathed out the words, I felt the hunger of the wolf. The beast was starving, and he wanted to devour me. I wanted to tell him I’m not a rabbit, but the words got lost somewhere in the land of unconscious as Maddock stared into my eyes.

He continued to push me backwards and his lips lowered to hover above my lips.

My back hit the rough bark of the tree behind me and the whole world came to life.

There was a force calling from the forest that competed with the frantic hunger in Maddock’s eyes. All I could do was get lost in it.

He growled, nipping at my bottom lip, and his other hand slid down the curves of my hips.

My fingers dug into the tree as he pinned me against it. He moved his hand from the back of my neck to the base of my throat and my eyes widened in surprise.
