Alpha's Caged Mate

"Hey there, do you think you can break free?" Xavier's behavior was unpredictable and challenging for Ava to grasp or defend against. With their mating bond intensifying, she couldn't ignore the fiery sensations it sparked whenever their bodies touched. The combination of wood ash and violet scent was overwhelming, making her heart race. She hesitated, not wanting to provoke him first. After all, he was the one responsible for her current situation. "You used to be more skilled than this, Ava," he said, his voice laced with rough desire, reminding her of her past. Trapped in the dungeon after being accused of a crime she didn't commit, her life seemed nothing but a sentence. Pride, friendships, hope, and love - all lost that fateful night. Three years later, a secret assignment to the Green Light Club brought her face to face with Xavier again, revealing their true connection. The abuse she'd endured had left its mark, fueling a desire for revenge. Yet, she felt bound by a debt and a promise she needed to fulfill. All she wanted was an escape, but Xavier presented a deal - one that required a price for her freedom and redemption. As she navigated this new reality, Ava slowly uncovered the truth behind those three tumultuous years.
