   Summary

   From the moment Nesta had met Cassian, she had felt that intense, captivating, influential thrum of the bond under her skin almost every minute of every day. It consumed her, occupying her mind, impacting her decisions and choices. She could not resist the pull.

   There had only been four, maybe five, minutes where she hadn’t felt the bond: during the battle against Hybern.

   She later learned those minutes were the exact time that Rhysand had been dead.

    

   AU where Rhysand manufactured the bond between Nesta and Cassian, and her true mate is Eris Vanserra.
