His Debt Wife's Crown

Avery turns her back and walks out of the hall toward the doors.
Caelan

Avery. You walk out of this hall and you come back when I say. Don't test me.

I didn't turn around. I don't know if that was brave or just the last of my pride.

Synopsis

Avery has been Caelan's debt wife for two years. She keeps his salt ledgers, hides that he rejected her as his mate, and tells herself the Alpha will someday see her. Then Caelan's first love, Rosalind, comes back to Mistwatch with a small son. He gives her his seat, his time, and the care he never gave Avery. The pack sees it. Avery finally sees it too. She asks Caelan to let her go. He refuses. A binding vow ties her to him, and he will not lose what belongs to him. A rival Alpha wants her for his pack. Caelan's brother wants her trust. Caelan wants her obedience. He says she will never leave him. Avery is done begging.
