"Hmm... You taste sweet.....like honey." Cover designed by: @querencia_Star

"Can-can you h-hold me?" "No," * * * Abandoned at the age of two, Jude grew up in an orphanage-ignored and pushed away for being a male omega. The only thing he craved in his life was the warmth of love that he never got to experience. And like everyone else, Jude too hoped he would have his happily ever after when he finds his mate. But life isn't a fairy tale....

"Touch me," "What? Sage, I-" "What are you so afraid of? You've hurt me without a second thought so why's touching me such a difficult task?" ___ Sage always knew his mate would leave him. Their living arrangement was born out of necessity, not love-Damien needed time to find a painless way to sever their unwanted bond. Sage braced himself for the inevitable day he'd be cast aside. But everything changed when the very alpha who promised to make the separation painless, accidentally marked him during his heat, sealing their bond forever. Bound by a mating mark, Sage is now trapped in a loveless union with an alpha who wants out. Can they find a way to escape their fate, or will their bond become a deadly curse that will slowly kill them alive? (Spin off story of Sage and Damien from Hold Me.)
