The bond with my fated mate was broken before we ever truly began… Learning that I’m a wolf shifter didn’t come as a surprise. I always knew there was something different about me. Finding out that my adoptive parents knew all along, right before they drugged and sold me off to my captors, convincing the world that I was dead, was the shocking part. But a voice cuts through my despair. Christophe Nightwolf reminds me of the dreams I have beyond this prison cell and our torturers mind games. Even in this dark, cold, agony-filled prison he sees me, though we’ve never laid eyes on each other. Christophe shatters my hopes for us when he tells me that he will never know freedom himself. But I start to believe there’s a future for us when we’re rescued from that hellscape. Instead, at first sight, it becomes painfully evident that our captors irrevocably destroyed our bond. Or, have they?
