Life was becoming increasingly overwhelming for Melody. Bonding Dean should have been a thing of joy, not an exercise in politics and pain. Having never been allowed to keep a familiar before, she was unprepared for the compulsion to claim him as her mate. Yet how could she, when it put him at even greater risk? If her aunt had her way, Dean would be yet another casualty of Bestia’s cruel experiments. Adolphus wasn’t the haven that Melody had thought it would be - bullying students, indifferent teachers and threats to the campus have left her feeling unsettled and afraid. Between hexes and challenges, battles and betrayals, Melody was finding that life outside of her coven was just as dangerous as it was in the compound. Two dragons, three wolves and a very sweet fox were all focussed on becoming her familiars, just how long could she resist the pull to bond these amazing men? Freeing them from the academy would mean enslaving them to her aunt. Denying them meant her death. There were simply no good choices and no easy solutions. All Melody wanted was a chance to breathe and be "normal". Was it too much to ask? Would they never be free? **Warning, this is a dark reverse harem story with elements that may cause some readers distress, including but not limited to descriptions of physical abuse, neglect and battle.
