Cherished By My Mate

Shes his to cherish-- and keep safe.

Pryce
I grew up alone.

My parents were overprotective and overbearing.

I didnt always agree with their methods, but they did teach me how to survive and stand on my own.

Now that theyre gone, Im 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.

Shes tired and scared, but I can fix that.

I can give her shelter.

I can give her safety.

What Im 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 friends creepy son, and I knew I couldnt survive a life like that—not if I wanted to be happy.

So I run.

I thought Id found a safe place when I knocked on Pryces door.

What I didnt expect was for him to tell me hes a shifter and that were fated to be together.

Now Im not sure what scares me more.

The men I left behind, or the way my heart recognizes Pryce as home.
