The Bellhollow Oath

Ren Ives has one rule: stay useful, stay unattached. Nine years as a Draegan enforcer made that easy until his handler sent him to Bellhollow College as a bodyguard for an heir the family has kept off every list. Aurelio Draegan is quiet, charming, and cannot hold his shift past a bad day. His own pack would rather marry him off to a rival family than let him lead. Ren was hired to keep him alive until the wedding. Ren stops being able to plan past the wedding on week three. When the two of them decide the only way out is through the family that made them, they do it the way wolves do — slowly, from inside, without asking permission. By spring, the Bellhollow oath belongs to whoever survives to swear it.
