✦ Synopsis

An Omegaverse Story

Hell is a six-by-six jail cell and no hope for the future.

Kell Iverson has never raised his hand against another person in his entire lifeand yet somehow hes been arrested and charged with the murder of his alpha mate Krause. Sure, Krause brutalized him on a daily basis, and Kell hated his mate, but he never wanted the man dead. Not fighting the charge and accepting his fate is the easiest pathexcept Kell doesnt think hell survive a week in prison, and he doesnt want to disappoint his younger brother Braun by giving up. He also doesnt expect to recognize the lawyer who shows up to defend him.

Ronin Cross was barely eighteen when he felt the mating bond with then-fourteen-year-old Kell, but his family moved away before Ronin could decide what to do. For the last ten years, he hasnt forgotten teenage Kell, hasnt mated, and now hes in Sansbury Province to defend adult Kell from a capital murder charge. The mating bond is still there, but now isnt the time to pursue anything with his fragile, battered, emotionally-damaged client.

For Kell, the term kind alpha is a contradiction, because hes never known one. He went from abusive father to abusive mate, and for twenty-four years, hes simply done what hes told. But Ronin asks Kell what he wants. What he likes. Ronin sees him, and its both confusing and delightful. But Kell is facing prison time at best, execution at worst, and as his trial date looms, he cant indulge in a fantasy that will never come trueor can he?
