Chapter 23: Metamorphosis

-ALEC-

How could she?

My wolf rages as it tears through the underbrush, following Leena’s scent that I know is going to end at the old Halloran house. How could she do this to me? After everything we’ve been through, after making a plan to keep everyone safe, how could she run off alone and think she has a chance?

I can feel her, more acutely than ever, her magic touching the bond and screaming her fear and emotions into it in a way that has bile rising in my throat. I know I can’t get there in time to intercept her, I can only hope I get there in time to keep her alive. It feels like my life is on repeat, my heart racing with fear as I imagine what it would feel like for this mating bond to be severed again like it was years ago, how much worse it will be this time. I don’t think I can survive it, who am I kidding, I know I can't.
