After losing my mother and her Bonded, I thought finding my own Bonds would bring me peace. I was wrong.
The weight of my people’s fate rests on my shoulders, and I believed they’d be safer if I stayed away. For five years, I ran from North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe—the men I should have trusted the most. Now, I’ve been caught and dragged back to face them.
I thought I was protecting them by leaving. But as the past catches up to me, I’m no longer sure I did the right thing. They may never forgive me for abandoning them, and I may never forgive myself.
In a world where trust is everything, will my Bonds ever believe in me again?
