He dragged my name out in caution. I was speechless as he reached for me again. Taking the left hand, and then the right, he secured my wrists with the makeshift Velcro handcuffs after weaving the rope through the rungs of the headboard. Testing my mobility, I could scarcely move before the Velcro bit my skin. My attention transferred to him capturing my ankle, securely wrapping the Velcro around it, before he pulled my leg toward the corner of the bed and fastened the rope to the footboard. Quickly, he repeated the same action on the other leg. My body now formed a triangle, leaving me exposed and vulnerable. Panicked, my chest heaved, and my heart pounded furiously. I was completely at his

“It’s more than just that, Odessa and you know it. Yes, allies against a common enemy, but as mates we strengthen one another. I’ve been searching for you for so long… wondering if I’d even be gifted with a mate. To find you, now of all times, this was meant to be how we met. Now is when we need to strengthen one another. I don’t know why… I just know it in my soul.” I find myself surprised that he is so accepting and open. There is tension in him, but he isn’t shutting out what could be. My face would show my concern and worry as I shake my head. “Your majesty, I do not know why she would have tied us as we are. I would hope it could be a positive like you say, but I’m not sure I could be a

PIPER’S POV My hands shook the whole way home, but driving was the only thing that kept me from doing something worse…like dialing Rowan and waking him in the middle of a meeting, or calling Dad and letting my panic spill all over the phone. I needed a plan. I needed someone who could think clearly while my chest felt like it was being crushed. The message had come two hours earlier: an unknown number, a photo of Bryan in a pool of blood, and three words under it that I could still taste: “Bend to me.” Ruben. The same man who’d held me down before, who refused to leave me alone.

I ask warily. "I still have Brad," he says honestly. Brad. Noah’s all-seeing informant. I’ve constantly hated him. "Are you still wondering about it?" "If I stay with you," I say slowly, "I won’t pay off the two million greenbacks." "You know that changed in the settlement from the start. Stay married, and you owe me nothing." He clicks his tongue, his gaze narrowing. "But you chose disobedience, didn’t you?" I pressure a bitter smile. "Permanently this time."

"Oh, thank God. I think I’m back to my real five-foot-four height now." Killian looked up at me, his hand still resting on my bare foot. He didn't stand up. He just looked at me with a look that was far too knowing. "Five-four? Is that what you’re telling people these days, Jade?" I blinked, looking down at him. "Yes? That’s what’s on my ID." Killian let out a soft, dark chuckle. "Your ID is a work of fiction. You are five feet, two inches, and three-quarters of an inch. Barely."

They both were. They all were. Suki sighed, “Okay. Three…” The men positioned themselves at her neck. “…Two…” They both summoned their fangs. With a hitched breath, she exhaled, “…One.” Their mouths landed on her neck, and they clamped down hard. Suki’s eyes widened, and she let out an audibly loud gasp as the pain of immense binding magic surged through her.

“It’s trying to.” The pain surged again. I cried out. My wolf thrashed inside me, wild and afraid. “I can’t hold it,” I gasped. “I’m breaking.” Kieran went still. There was a pause. Heavy. Final. Then he said, “I’m going to bind us.” The words cut through the pain. “What?” I whispered. “Just for a moment,” he said. “Just enough to anchor you.” My eyes widened. “That’s forbidden.” “Yes.”

"You can sleep there. This way, you can continue with your protection." He felt her words were a lot warmer now, and he nodded happily. She turned and stealthily turned away from him, bringing out the parchment from her sleeve. In her haste, she had not studied the words that were inscribed on it. It read: 'After the soul-bonding, the initiator and the receiver will be bonded to each other as mates for life. The emotional state of mind should reflect on this, and seeing images of each other is normal. But in fourteen days, if the ritual-bonding is not fulfilled, the receiver will…
