“I hate boys like him, but the bond doesn't care. It pulls and burns. And now, I don't want him to just whisper my name, I want him to growl it. I don't want him to just be gentle, I need him to ruin me. I want his fingers gripping my thighs, his mouth taking everything it wants, and his body leaving me so full of him that I forget this is all real.” ****** Susie Lockwood thought getting cast as the romantic lead was a cruel joke. But the boy who offers to help her rehearse her lines, has secrets of his own. He knew exactly what he was doing when he joined the school play and claimed it was just rehearsal, but nothing about Roy was ever coincidental. Not the cast, the lines or the moment he made her say the ancient vow that bound her to him. Now she is linked to the most powerful wolf in the academy. Her emotions are out of control, her skin burns whenever he's near, and the pull between them grows stronger by the day. Roy tells everyone it was a mistake. But when he looks at her, it is clear that he wanted this. And no matter how hard Susie tries to fight it, there is one truth she can't outrun: She is already his.
