Addie Banks has lived in silence since a devastating illness changed her world when she was sixteen.
Determined to stand on her own, she works nights while going to school during the day, building the future she wants one hard-won step at a time.
Then one shift at Keiser Research changes everything.
Behind locked doors, Addie discovers a man who should not exist—a powerful, wounded stranger held captive, chained, and experimented on by ruthless humans who want to understand where he came from… and how to use him.
Then she hears his voice.
Not with her ears.
In her mind.
Merrick Ta’Duran, leader of the Eastern Mountain Clan on Baade, came to Earth for the future of his people. Instead, he was injured, captured, and pushed to the edge of survival.
Addie may be his only chance at freedom.
Merrick may be the one voice strong enough to break through her silence.
But helping him escape will put Addie in danger from the very people who imprisoned him—and once Merrick realizes she is his bond mate, nothing in this world or his will stop him from protecting her.
