Cherished By My Mate

She’s his to cherish-- and keep safe. 

Pryce
I grew up alone.
My parents were overprotective and overbearing.
I didn’t always agree with their methods, but they did teach me how to survive and stand on my own.
Now that they’re gone, I’m all alone.
I know that I need to find my fated mate, and I finally come up with a plan to locate her.
That plan goes out the window when my mate stumbles up to my front door.
She’s tired and scared, but I can fix that.
I can give her shelter.
I can give her safety.
What I’m not sure I can do… is ever let her go.

Elsie
I had to leave home.
My parents were determined to marry me off to their friend’s creepy son, and I knew I couldn’t survive a life like that—not if I wanted to be happy.
So I run.
I thought I’d found a safe place when I knocked on Pryce’s door.
What I didn’t expect was for him to tell me he’s a shifter and that we’re fated to be together.
Now I’m not sure what scares me more.
The men I left behind, or the way my heart recognizes Pryce as home.
