You have been taken prisoner in the Illryan camps in the Night Court for stealing a load of bread to feed you family.

Azriel sees snippets of you in his dream, a cell door, dirty clothes. He hums down the bond whenever he can feel your sadness. You have created a mating bond with him without even meeting him, but he still can’t locate you. That was until he saw a familiar face in one of his visions and knew their location. He could finally free you, his mate.
