Surviving Her Mate

Ronan

After the Hunters attacked us, my brother and his new mate took a hostage. Okay, it's his mate's sister. But she's still being held captive ... in my cold cellar.

Never mind the inconvenience this is to me. Then they go off on their honeymoon, leaving me responsible for the Wild Thing.

After she attacks me and tries to escape, I'm left with only one realization. She's my mate. Damnit.

Now I have to convince her that we're fated to be, and if she keeps resisting the urge, the bond will punish her. She may not care, but I can't live without her. So, I have two days to convince Thalia that we can love and live together.

Because the alternative is a fate worse than death.

Thalia

I've been taken captive by a grumpy, insufferable shifter. I just want to get out of here and return to the Hunters.

But I'm being held hostage until the never-going-to-happen day that I decide I can live with these mongrels. Or my traitorous sister finally lets me go.

So when my captor challenges me to spend two days with him while he tries to convince me that our 'mating bond' is more than hocus pocus, I agree. Two days is easy, and then I'll be out of here.

But I never expected him to put up a good argument for staying, and the mating bond is impossible to resist.

So, do I stay and trust our growing bond or return to the only life I've ever known?
