Suddenly, the numbness was gone, and all I felt was pure, dark, dangerous rage.
wondered if the purple stripe translated to her shifted form, and I couldn’t help but imagine a black bunny with ears full of hoops and a shock of purple across its black pelt. Her chocolate brown eyes locked with mine, and the pure loathing behind them stabbed me in the gut like an ice-cold knife. For the first time ever, the beast inside me stirred—hungry for a taste of bunny blood.
“Listen carefully. You have a small—a very small chance of making it out of these woods before one of my kind catches you. But it’s still a chance. Your odds of surviving drop to zero if you annoy me to the point where I snap your neck before the Hunt can even start. Capiche, Little Bunny?”

“What’s your name, Stabby Little Rabbit?” She swallowed hard. “Ruth… It’s Ruth.” I grinned. “Is that short for ruthless?” Her eyes narrowed into slits. “Do wolves always play with their food?” “Not always. But my meals are never as interesting as you.”
“Let’s make this interesting,” I hummed. “You’re going to run… And I’m going to catch you. Neither of us will shift. We’ll save that for the Hunt. If I catch you, I’ll cut you out of your clothes myself. Deal?”
“Finish shifting, and I’ll gut you right here, Ruthless,” the wolf snarled, his face shoving

“Your deepest instincts chose me. What if we really are true mates?” My upper lip curled. “A wolf and a bunny can’t be true mates. Shit like that only happens in books, baby.”
With that, she leaned in and pressed the cigarette’s burning tip to my chest. “Then bite me.”
“Foolish bunny. So eager to force my wolf out.” His low chuckle scraped over my skin like sandpaper. “So eager for the beast to break you from the inside.” Fire ignited in my belly. “Your wolf won’t hurt me. Not if it thinks I’m his mate.”
