"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?
