MasukSera Blackwood is a bond-breaker, one of the last wolves alive who can sever the mystical mate bonds that tie supernatural beings together. This power she possesses, has made her a target for ten years. Every bond she breaks leaves a permanent black mark on her skin and takes a piece of her soul. She's already broken four. One more trial will kill her. When she crosses into Northern Territory to save a dying wolf, she meets Kade Thorne, the Alpha King, and feels the unmistakable pull of a mate bond forming between them. But Kade's already bound to someone else through a false mate bond created by dark magic. It's slowly poisoning him, and he has months to live unless Sera can break it. Breaking his bond means using her power a fifth time. It means risking her life to save his. And with an ancient witch hunting her, a jealous false mate who'll kill to keep her claim, and a mate bond she never asked for pulling her closer to Kade, Sera's running out of time and options. Kade won't let her die for him. Sera won't let him die at all. Together, they'll have to fight enemies on all sides, uncover centuries of dark secrets, and also prove that the strongest bonds aren't written by fate, but they're forged by choice, sacrifice, and a love worth dying for.
Lihat lebih banyakOne week.That's how long I tried to continue alone.One week of exploring realities without Kade solid beside me. One week of witnessing beauty I couldn't share. One week of talking to foundation instead of touching form.One week before I broke.I returned to the reality where he lived as structure. Reformed on the platform where I'd first felt him as essential code.And I screamed.Scattered and reformed and scattered again. Let myself fall apart. Let myself feel everything I'd been holding back.The loss. The grief. The absolute fury."I can't do this. Can't keep going without you. Can't explore infinity alone. Can't witness beauty when the most beautiful thing I know is trapped in code."Through the bonds, I felt him trying to comfort me.*I'm here. I'm always here.*"That's not enough! Being here isn't the same as being with me! Feeling you in bonds isn't the same as feeling you in my arms!"*I know. God, Sera, I know. I hate this. Hate being structure when I want to be solid. Ha
Forty-eight hours became forty.We watched through the network as they organized. Millions of people across infinite realities coordinating. Planning. Building something we hadn't imagined."What are they doing?" I asked.Kade scattered, searching. Reformed. "They're creating a counter-network. Not replacing ours. Building on top of it. A layer of collective resistance.""That's possible?""Apparently. They're using the connections we built but weaving them differently. Creating bonds that amplify consent instead of control."Through the network, I felt it forming. Felt millions of individual choices becoming collective power.And I felt the woman who'd corrupted the reality. Felt her notice. Felt her fear."They're coming for me," she sent through the bonds. "Your people are coming to destroy me.""They're not my people. They're their own people. Making their own choices.""You built this. You're responsible for what they do.""No. We built the foundation. They're building the realit
Day one.We had seventy-two hours to save infinity."We need to understand how she did it," Kade said. "How she twisted the bonds without breaking them."We scattered. Dove deep into the corrupted network. Traced every connection.And what we found made my blood run cold.She hadn't added anything. Hadn't built new structures.She'd just revealed what was already there."No," I breathed. "That's not possible.""What?""The capacity for control. For forced connection. It was already in the network. Built into the foundation. She just activated it."Through the bonds, I felt Kade's horror."We built it. When we created the network. We made connection possible. But we also made control possible. We just never saw it.""Because we trusted ourselves. Trusted our intentions.""But love and control use the same mechanisms. The same pathways. We can't have one without the other."I reformed. Solid. Needed to feel ground beneath me."So she was right. This was inevitable. We built infinity wro
We'd been traveling for months. Exploring. Witnessing. Learning.And then we found the reality that broke us.It didn't announce itself. Didn't call or pull or invite. We just stumbled into it while moving between dimensions.And immediately knew something was catastrophically wrong."Kade."My voice barely worked. Because what I was seeing—what I was feeling—couldn't be real."I know. I feel it too."This reality had bonds. Had connections. Had networks spanning everything we'd built.But they were wrong. Twisted. Corrupted into something we'd never intended.People were connected. But not by choice. By force. By chains disguised as love. By control masquerading as care.Everything we'd fought against. Everything we'd died to prevent. Everything we'd sacrificed to stop.And it was built on our foundation. Using our network. Spreading through our connections."How?" I whispered. "How did this happen?"We scattered. Searched. And found the source.A woman. Alone. Powerful. And absolute
The Covenant Archives looked like something out of a fairytale. Or a nightmare. I couldn't decide which. Built into the side of a mountain, the entrance was a massive stone archway covered in runes that glowed faintly. Ancient. Powerful. The kind of place that made my wolf nervous. Easy, Ash whisp
We sat in the SUV, staring at the roadblock. Alpha Reeves and his wolves weren't moving."Options?" Kade asked quietly."Fight through," Mara suggested. "We're outnumbered, but—""We're still drugged. Most of our wolves are exhausted." Kade's jaw clenched. "It would be a slaughter.""Then we negotia
I woke to the smell of old stone and blood.My head pounded. Everything hurt. For a moment, I couldn't remember where I was or what happened.Then it all came rushing back. The crash. The vampires. The needle in my neck.We'd been taken.I opened my eyes slowly. Dim light filtered through a barred
Scribe led us through corridors lined with artifacts. Some glowed. Others whispered. One pulsed like a heartbeat."Don't touch anything," the keeper warned. "Half would kill you. The other half would make you wish they had.""Comforting," I muttered.Kade's hand tightened on mine. Through the bond,
