Forbidden Bonds

Ten years as a prisoner.
Ten years of torment and survival.

I was our enemies’ omega prize—an unwilling weapon in their war. My mind-reading gift kept me alive, but also made me their greatest asset. I learned their secrets, endured their cruelties, and buried all hope of freedom.
Until him.
Rhett is no ordinary alpha. He’s haunted, broken, and agoraphobic.
He’s also a criminal hacker capable of bringing governments—and anyone who crosses him—to their knees.
He was supposed to be temporary. A stand-in to see me through an unexpected, stress-induced heat… until we broke the rules with our reckless, forbidden bond.
I’m no fool. My own people will exploit me. Our enemies will try to reclaim me so they can use me, too.
But my salvation comes with strings.
And the only thing standing between me and my destruction is the alpha whose mark binds me to him, whether we want it or not.
