The Hunt was supposed to be harmless.
A Crowsfell University tradition.
 

This year, someone changed the rules.

 

It felt like a joke until the cryptic texts turned into threats, and masked figures started lurking in the shadows.

 

Now, my friends and I are trapped in a game we never agreed to play. Survival isn’t just about watching your own back, it’s about knowing who to trust. A deadly gamble when secrets could get us all killed.

 

Then there’s Ryder Voss.
My best friend. My anchor. The one constant in my life.

 

His protectiveness is suffocating.
I crave it. I resent it. I can’t escape it.

 

The lines between us are blurring into something dangerous. Ryder isn’t just intense—he’s obsessive. Possessive. The golden boy hiding far too much darkness.

 

If he decides to ruin me, I’ll let him.
Happily.

Because without him, I don’t stand a chance.
But the boy who’s always saved me?
He might just be the one to destroy me first.
