The Demon By Jenika Snow

I ran from one monster, only to stumble into the clutches of another.

Fleeing a brutal father and a forced marriage, I escaped deep into the forest, hoping to disappear.

Bleeding, exhausted, and desperate, I hid in a cave—but I quickly realized I wasn’t alone.

Something watched me from the darkness.

He was massive, horned… a creature pulled from nightmares.

And the moment his glowing eyes locked onto me, I knew one thing without a doubt. I was his.

Now, I was trapped in his lair, claimed by a beast who refused to let me go.

I thought I was running toward freedom.

But I only ran straight into his arms.

And I was even more terrified, because… I didn’t want to leave.
