His Bond Was a Cage

A woman's head snaps to the side with a split lip, a man standing over her, other men laughing.
Maddox

Don't lie to me, bitch. You think any man wants you after I'm done? You're nothing but the hole I keep warm.

The men laughed, and I felt the laugh on my skin like spit.

Then his hand came off my face and my lip split against my tooth, and the blood was hot and tasted like pennies.

Synopsis

I will not call his cage a bond anymore. Maddox Hurn rejected me in front of our pack, then kept me close to own my Alpha blood. He taught me to hide every scar and call it duty. I stayed because I thought a bond he broke could still be saved. Then I met Bryce Culver. He is a widowed Alpha and county sheriff raising twin girls and carrying grief he never lets show. He looks at me like I am not ruined. My family begs me to run. Maddox says I will never leave. I can still feel his hold on my wolf. Pack law still says I belong to him. To be free, I may have to break the last living part of me and survive what is left. Can I trust a second-chance fated mate when the first one almost erased me? And will the people who used my bond as a leash let me live long enough to try?
