Love Beyond the Bond

Betrayed by Sylas and overwhelmed by Vesper's hunters in the ravine camp, Elowen suffers a grievous wound that brings her to the brink of death. Maelrik fights through the fray to carry her to a hidden glade where his desperate confession of love beyond the mate bond fuels a raw ritual of blood and knotting passion to pull her back, only for their incomplete bond to unleash agonizing pain when they drift more than a mile apart.
