The fates have a made a new match … whether the couple likes it or not.

Soldier.

Healer.

Fated mates, against all odds.

When one patient keeps reappearing in my infirmary I cant help but wonder what hes up to. Hes a man of few wordsunless hes arguing with me. His injuries dont make any sense considering he was removed from his military post, and even his sword has required repairs.

Unable to resist my curiosity, I follow him one night and end up an accidental accomplice in a revenge plot. His tactics are questionable, though his intentions seem noble enough. And Ive seen too much to just ignore him.

He begrudgingly accepts Im not going to let him sort things out alone, and the more time we spend together, the more friendly we become. Everything between us changes after he does something truly unpredictable, however, and my chest burns with a freshly woken mate bond.

Everything about our pairing is unexpected and potentially disastrous. Ignoring what the fates have offered might lead us both to madness—which he actually might prefer. I dont care to be told what I can or cannot do, but I also wont tie someone to a bond they dont want.

Will we be able to find some common ground or will our bond remain unfulfilled?
