His Bond Was a Cage

Elowen stands in a dim kitchen doorway while Maddox sits with his boots on the table.

I drove back to the pack house with my mother's braid still in my hair, and Maddox was sitting in the dark kitchen with his boots on the table.

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?
