The Severed Bond

“Elias was once the youngest Alpha in Berlin, until one night of madness made him reject his fated mate and lose everything. Now he hunts bond crimes for the Bureau of Lupine Affairs, a broken wolf pretending to be whole. Then a routine crime scene brings him face to face with the scent he buried years ago. Anya is alive, standing over a dead Council official, and she knows the truth he has chased for years: the Council has weaponized the mate bond itself. A procedure called the Severance can nullify a fated bond and silence anyone who resists. To expose it, Elias and Anya must fake a bond for the Bureau while fighting the very real pull between them. But every step closer to the truth drags them deeper into a conspiracy that reaches the highest ranks, and Viktor will do anything to keep the Severance secret. Can a bond that was used to break them ever be trusted again? Place and Time: Berlin, Germany, in an alternate present day, fifty years after werewolves revealed themselves to humanity.”
