"Erina's family sells her to a pack of wolves, she knows she's there for their pleasure to be used and then killed, at least that's their intention.
But what they don't know is that Erina isn't willing to accept that fate. She's determined to do whatever is needed to stay alive. The pack thinks they can just use her and throw her away, but when she's done with them they won't be able to survive without just another moment with her.
Because Erina doesn't want to be their broken doll, she just needs to be their perfect one.
Unfortunately for her, the pack isn't going to make life that easy for her. She's underestimated just what they could want from her and she's about to be pushed to her very limits and beyond for her mistake.
Her bid for survival is about to begin."

Their Broken Doll

　　I thought for sure that Nic would carry out his threats, that he'd push me into another round with him, but he didn't. He remained focused on bathing me, inch by inch. His hands gentle as they smoothed over my elbows and knees. "You can stop being scared now."


　　I should have known he'd feel it. "Sorry."


　　"Don't apologize, just understand you'll never be hurt again." He paused. "Beside the marking ritual." He brushed his thumb over his own mark, it stung but not nearly as bad as it had the first time he'd done it. "Erina, it was no accident I picked you, and it was no accident that I've chosen to fight for our future. Trust in me and my abilities. You might not like belonging to us now, but as time goes on, those things will fade. You'll understand that you'll never be able to find this out there."
