I've killed every man who's touched her. They'll make me hunt her before I can have her. AXL I saw Saylor Reign Carter three years ago at a gala on her daddy's arm and decided she was mine. I wasn't supposed to want her. I kill who they tell me to kill. I don't get to touch a woman until the hunt. Four years of loyalty to the Ravens, and the body count is the only love language I'm allowed. My little heathen likes to test me. She lets other men touch her knowing I'll make them disappear. She hasn't figured out yet what it means to be mine. In three weeks I'm carrying her out of those woods while they all watch. She's going to wear my marks and learn what years of wanting her made me. She will kneel and serve her king like the good girl she's meant to be. SAYLOR I chose to be hunted over going to auction. I'd rather run than be sold. He kills men right in front of me.
