     THE WOLF'S CAPTURE: It should have just been a simple vacation, away from everyone and everything to clear my head. But I soon realized I wasn’t alone. He stalked me, hunted me. I should’ve run faster, tried harder. But the truth was I liked him chasing me. Wolf was a ruthless man, his way of living barbaric. Now he had me in his off-the-grid cabin, what he deemed my new home. I was his new wife, would have his babies. I was his irrevocably. I shouldn’t have felt arousal. But I did. He’s not going to let me escape ... but then again, maybe I don’t want to. THE BEAR'S CAPTURE: The solitude had always been my companion and I accepted it, embraced it. Living on my own with the forest as my backyard had always been good enough for me. Until it no longer was. The quiet could be loud, the loneliness a burden. I was tired of being on my own. I wanted a wife, needed a woman to call my own. Who I wanted was Susie. She was sweet and kind, innocent and soft in all the right places. She made this caveman part of me rise up and take control. The things I wanted to do to her would probably frighten her, scare her away for good. I didn’t pretend to be a gentleman. I was brutal and savage in my way of living, but when I looked at her I felt something soften within me. It was time to man up and tell her what I wanted, that she was all I thought about, all I needed in my life.
