Protected and Punished

By V.T. Bonds

"You're my lifemate, little warrior. My soulmate. My omega. I'll have you locked on my knot in the end."

-Lyc

Born in an underground lab and raised by evil scientists, Subject 66C has one purpose in life: accept her fellow test subjects' pain and calm them for further experiments. She uses her power to protect those trapped in hell with her, but she holds no hope of freedom for herself.

Until she's thrown in a cell with Lyc, a massive alien alpha with red and black scales and eerie reptilian eyes. As a Warrior Elite-a top secret Special Operations unit of super soldier aliens-and a seer, he's devoted his life to protecting his teammates and their fated mates.

When a mission goes sideways and he's captured by the enemy, he finds himself strapped to a torture chair and locked in a cell with the most gorgeous creature he's ever seen. Unable to resist the call of the mate bond, he flies into a rampage and destroys the room only to discover a horrible truth.

She's his omega lifemate, but her touch steals the rage he uses to maintain his sanity.

With the scientists set out to break them with increasingly crueler experiments, Lyc's foresight into the future filling him with foreboding, and Subject 66C's power evolving, will they succumb to the dangers and lose everything, or break free and find their happily ever after?
