The day I met Hunter Maxwell he wasnβt the rich kid who lived in the giant house, he wasnβt the most popular guy in school, he certainly wasnβt the bully who had chased his own best friend out of town after a falling outβhe was just a boy with a black eye and a dark secret.
My life would have been much easier if I had stayed out of it, but I couldnβt. I saw someone hurting and wanted to help. I saw someone possibly in danger and wanted to make sure he was safe.
Thereβs nothing safe about Hunter Maxwell, though. I thought there might be. I fell under his spell. Whatever the world saw when they looked at him, it wasnβt what he showed me.
The bond we formed was real. I know it was real. But with Hunter, when the tides turn, youβd better hope youβre safely on the shore and out of his reach.
I thought I was a strong enough swimmer to keep my head above water. I thought if it came down to it, I could resist his pull.
I didnβt know, but now I do.
Once Hunter sets his sights on you, thereβs no such thing as out of his reach. Whether itβs today, tomorrow, or five years from now, heβs coming for meβand when he does, he wonβt stop until heβs destroyed me.
