Dire Bound (The Wolves of Ruin, #1)

by Sable Sorensen

Women in pain give men confidence.

Privilege begets more privilege, a never-ending cycle.

“When you get up, you better fucking run.” My voice is calm, almost pleasant. “Or I’ll gut you.”

A need to break his will before he can break mine. It’s that air of competition he projects. I breathe it in and my muscles buzz with the need to show the world that it can’t break me.

I don’t need your fucking approval.
