He's rough, growly, and refuses to answer any of my questions as he takes me back to the fae lands. When we get there, I learn that a large faction of his people want him dead, so they paid in blood and magic for an ancient assassin to hunt him down. Our mate bond should hide him from the monster, but if his people find out about it, we'll be executed. And the bond itself? It's a mental and physical connection that creates attraction between us-insanely strong attraction that we both struggle to resist. We're fighting for our lives...yet somehow my mind keeps returning to the tie that binds our souls.
