His Bond Was a Cage

A drenched woman stands just inside a dark wooden mill, water dripping from her clothes.

The mill smelled like wet wood and old salt, and the whole floor hummed with the river pushing underneath it.

I got the door shut behind me and stood there dripping in the dark, glad to be anywhere that was not his house.

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?
