With nothing but the clothes on their backs, they sought refuge in a new town. However, Oleander, the town’s notorious bad boy, became fixated on her. Used to always getting his way, Oleander’s advances were rebuffed, igniting a relentless campaign of harassment. He subjected Rayne to daily humiliation, leading her to join a hunter band. Five years later, Rayne and Oleander’s paths crossed again, leading to a revelation that shook both their worlds: Fate had played a cruel joke on them, binding them in a connection they both could not deny—the Mate Bond.
