Pledged to the Wild Hunt. Pledged to the Darkness

Elowen wakes to horns in the mist and a choice at her door. The Hunt has come-and the antler-crowned Huntmaster asks, not takes. They negotiate every breath: limits, safeword, aftercare. A chase becomes heat, care becomes worship, and the valley learns to write its own rules. But a rival Hunt stalks the borders, twisting yes into a trap. As night tests the town, Elowen and Ciaran turn desire into defiance-oaths on bridges, light in windows, love that holds the line.
He asks, always. She chooses, again and again. When the horns rise, will their pledge be enough?For readers 18+
