When Arran inadvertently becomes the master of a crafty dryad, he doesn't realize that caring for the irritating Weed becomes so special that he fears he will never let Weed go. And Weed isn't foolish enough to fall for his captor, not matter how kind and attractive the wulver may be.
From The Wulver's Bond blurb:
Arran is the reclusive wolfman known in Scottish legend as 'the Wulver'. He wants nothing more than to be left alone on his island to live in peace--a peace that is shattered when he inadvertently acquires ownership of Weed, a cursed young man who was previously trying to kill him.
Weed's spitefulness and acerbic wit make him an infuriating living companion, especially when he pushes all of Arran's buttons. Worst of all, Weed’s constant challenges excite the interest of Arran's inner beast, igniting an explosion of instinct-driven desire that Arran battles to control. But, as he begins to realise Weed's sharp personality hides a much softer truth, Arran’s heart starts to want the same thing as his inner wolf—even if it risks devastating Weed’s only chance at freedom.
Weed is a young dryad trapped in servitude and human form against his will. When he becomes the property of the Wulver, he expects his new master to be just as cruel as his old one. But as Arran’s kind, patient nature shines through—even when Weed pushes his boundaries to breaking point—Weed must come to terms with the idea that he might finally be safe in the Wulver’s care.
As Weed begins to own himself again, he’s drawn by the idea of being totally owned by his gentle master… in a far more intimate, feral kind of way. But to find the peace and happiness he craves, Weed must first convince Arran to accept his choices… and perhaps help the wolfman face his own buried desires, too.
The Wulver's Bond is an M/M paranormal romance featuring a gentle, non-shifter wolfman and a traumatized, devious human-dryad. This is the first in a series of books each featuring a different non-human couple, set in the same world as The Walker Witch Files. (It's not necessary to read Cam & Lachy's storyfirst, but you may enjoy it more if you do.)

SNik's review:
First in series (Outcast Hearts). Paranormal. Adversaries to lovers. Forced proximity. Hurt/comfort. Light BDSM dynamics. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Just wanting to be left alone, but always hunted, Arran is a wulver whose pelt is sought after, but his latest confrontation leaves a cunning fae dryad in his care. Weed is cursed, his freedom shackled, but his spirit refuses to be crushed, and his only vengeance is to annoy those that master him, but Arran is unlike any other before.
I enjoyed Arran and Weed’s push and pull, as Arran refuses to take advantage of Weed and yet Weed cannot let go (rightly so) of his years of hatred due to the betrayal and abuse at the hands of others. The slow build of respect and attraction come through patience and kindness, these two belong to each other equally, with a mix of lust and actual appreciation for each other. Well written with interesting characters, some spice, some action and a ton of caring this was an entertaining read and great first entry into a new series.
