![]() ![]() ![]() Ronin sees him, and it’s both confusing and delightful. He went from abusive father to abusive mate, and for twenty-four years, he’s simply done what he’s told. The mating bond is still there, but now isn’t the time to pursue anything with his fragile, battered, emotionally-damaged client.įor Kell, the term “kind alpha” is a contradiction, because he’s never known one. For the last ten years, he hasn’t forgotten teenage Kell, hasn’t mated, and now he’s in Sansbury Province to defend adult Kell from a capital murder charge. 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. He also doesn’t expect to recognize the lawyer who shows up to defend him. ![]() Not fighting the charge and accepting his fate is the easiest path-except Kell doesn’t think he’ll survive a week in prison, and he doesn’t want to disappoint his younger brother Braun by giving up. Coupled with Kell’s own words and actions after the shooting, the only possible interpretation of Braun’s warnings was Kell could be pondering suicide. Sure, Krause brutalized him on a daily basis, and Kell hated his mate, but he never wanted the man dead. R onin turned Braun’s words over in his head for a long time after the phone call. Kell Iverson has never raised his hand against another person in his entire life-and yet somehow he’s been arrested and charged with the murder of his alpha mate Krause. Kell is a six-by-six jail cell and no hope for the future. ![]()
