His Debt Wife's Crown

Avery sits alone at the salt ledger, back straight, eyes hard in the candlelight.

He'd called me dramatic to my face and then put his hands on me like the two things had nothing to do with each other.

Nobody was coming. So how do I get free of a man who holds all the power and none of the respect for my pain?

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.
