Sacred Bond

<p><strong>Alexei</strong></p><p>For years I've fought to build a life I love and I'm not going to let anyone destroy it. Even if I have to step into a role I never pictured for myself and take over this brotherhood before someone else can destroy it my life will still be mine.</p><p></p><p>I don't have time to get caught up in Emiliya's sharp tongue or distracting wit. Too bad she's everything I've ever wanted. I'm not sure I ever stood a chance.</p><p><strong>Emiliya</strong></p><p>All I want is to get out from under my father's thumb. I don't want to be another one of his pawns. I don't want to slip into Alexei's life crawl under his skin or fall for him. He'll never do what my father wants no matter what I do or how many tricks I have up my sleeve.</p><p></p><p>Too bad Alexei isn't the type of man to bend the knee for anyone. He's the kind of man that'll make me fall to mine.</p>
