The Alpha's Hunt - Forbidden...

Ms.M

Every girl at the age of eighteen, if left unmated, is volunteered for the Alphas Hunt. Hazel is no exception and also the only one who sees it not as a chance to find a strong Alpha to take care of her, but rather as a ceremony that strips you of your free will and sends you out into the woods to be hunted like a deer.
 
If she is claimed she will be his. If she is not, she will return in shame and be shunned from her pack.
 
Hazel knows the ways of the Alphas, being the daughter of a Beta, but what she doesn't count on is the presence of the Lycan King. The leader of all is participating in his first-ever hunt, and she is his prey.
 
***Warning: This book contains a LOT of mature content such as strong language, explicit s*x scenes, physical and mental abuse, BDSM, etc.***
 
A must-read for dark fantasy lovers who want to seek wolf shifter paranormal romance content in one go.
