Red and Silver: The Woodsman's Desire: The Heart Of The Beast, #4

By Amber Lew

I'm Red, a fierce huntress and proud member of the Hoods. Our creed? Simple. Eliminate werewolves from existence. 

 

There's just one little problem, and that problem is called Silver—a seductive rogue lycan with a haunting past. He's the very beast I'm destined to destroy, yet something magnetic binds us.

 

Silver and I shouldn't even be in the same room. But fate throws a curveball, pushing us to ally against a common enemy.

 

The unthinkable happens. My grandmother, the Matriarch of the Hoods, is gruesomely murdered. The prime suspect? None other than Silver, the black sheep of the notorious Ironfang Clan. But there's a twist only I know: Silver can't be the killer. How? Let's just say we were a little... preoccupied when it happened. A bond like ours is forbidden, a scandal in the making, so we've kept it hushed. And now, sworn enemies or not, we're determined to unveil the real perpetrator.

 

While he's desperate to clear his name, I'm hell-bent on uncovering the murderer and the important secret message my grandmother wanted to relay before her death.

 

As we're plunged deeper into a world riddled with treachery, we realize our fates are linked by more than just burning passion.

So here I am, in a tale where the big bad wolf is larger, more menacing, and all-consuming. He hungers for me, the not-so-little Red, and trust me, the temptation to surrender is overwhelming...

I'm Eromami and I write spicy fantasy romance books. In my stories, you'll encounter a strong female protagonist who may start with doubts but finds her inner power. Alongside her, you'll meet a captivating main male lead and intriguing secondary romantic interests. These adventures take place in detailed fantasy realms, featuring mesmerizing male leads who are shifters—vampires, werewolves, fae, dragons, and more! While the protagonist explores romantic bonds with other characters, she ultimately finds her way to a committed and monogamous relationship with the male lead, resulting in a happily ever after or happy for now ending. These reverse harem stories have no mm action, and the relationships depicted are mostly hetero, with occasional bi-curiosity.

Book 4

The Woodsman’s Desire

Chapter 1

The Wedding Day

The room was dimly lit, sunlight streaming through sheer curtains and casting a warm glow on the gold accents that adorned the large cabin. The Hoods used this place as their city hall, but today, it felt more like a prison to me. I could feel the loneliness creeping in, suffocating me, as I stood there on my wedding day – a day that should've been filled with joy and excitement. But all I could think of was how I ended up here.

I approached a large mirror, taking in the reflection of myself wearing an intricate red wedding gown. The dress was stunning, with delicate lace detailing and a flowing skirt that seemed to float around me like a crimson cloud. A fitted bodice hugged my curves, accentuating my waist, while the off-the-shoulder sleeves framed my collarbone and drew attention to the dazzling diamond choker around my neck. I looked beautiful, but the sadness in my eyes was undeniable.

I sighed heavily and sank onto a plush sofa, rubbing my temples as I tried to calm the storm of thoughts swirling inside my head. I was supposed to be waiting here until someone called me for the ceremony, but time seemed to crawl by at an agonizing pace.

My mother hadn't been happy about my decision to marry Gabriel and move in with him, so she refused to accompany me to the altar. Not that I cared... or at least that's what I kept telling myself. In reality, her absence stung more than I was willing to admit. My heart still ached from the discovery that Silver, the man I had fallen for, had killed my father. All I wanted now was to get through the ceremony, start a new life, and forget the werewolf who had broken my heart.

As I sat there, lost in thought, memories of my mother's disapproving look haunted me. I could feel the weight of her judgment bearing down on me, but I was determined to push it aside. After all, this was my life – my choice. And I would do whatever it took to move forward and leave the past behind.

A knock on the door startled me from my thoughts, and it creaked open. I stood and turned to see who it was, only to find Adriano standing there, looking incredibly handsome in a tailored suit that accentuated his lean form. However, his expression was dark, and his stormy eyes seemed to carry an ocean of sadness.

Red, you look beautiful, he said, his voice a melancholy whisper. I nodded at him, managing a soft thank you while trying to make sense of his troubled demeanor. Since Gabriel proposed a week ago, Adriano and I hadn't really talked much, and now seeing him like this made my heart ache.

He approached me with a few purposeful strides, his grip firm yet gentle as he took hold of my arms. His gaze pierced into mine, searching for something I couldn't quite grasp. You don't look happy on your wedding day, Red, he stated bluntly, his voice strained.

I searched for the right words to respond, but they evaded me. Instead, I told him, You look handsome, and thank you for coming to my wedding. It felt inadequate, but I didn't know what else to say.

Tears shimmered in Adriano's eyes, but he quickly turned away, attempting to
