This is my prison. Locked inside a house that reeks of liquor, secrets, and pain, I’ve learned to stay quiet—obedient. Because when I speak, I bleed. And when I bleed, he smiles. They say we all have a wolf inside us. Mine is silent. Sleeping. Or maybe she’s too scared to wake. But she’s all I’ve got left. Every night, I pray she’ll rise. That she’ll claw her way out and tear this house apart. That she’ll end him. But so far… nothing. My mother is gone. My sister? Taken by the same man who touches me like he owns every part of me. And all I can do is survive. Until I turn eighteen. Until the mate bond hits. Until he finds me. I don’t know his name, but I feel him in my dreams—dark eyes, sharp jaw, a voice like smoke and sin. He’s out there. And when he comes, hell is coming with him. But will he save me… or shatter what’s left of me?
