CHAPTER 77
~Tempest's POV~
The air felt thick around me as I struck the training dummy with blow after blow, each hit harder than the last. My fists ached, my muscles burnt, but it wasn't enough. Nothing was enough to drown out the whirlwind of emotions tearing through me.
Koda.
The word echoed in my head like a bitter chant, and I snarled, landing a final vicious punch that sent the dummy crashing backwards.
My chest heaved with the effort, but my mind... my mind was still spinning.
I couldn't believe it. Of all the wolves in this goddamn world, the Moon Goddess had decided to tie me to him—Aira's almost lover, the one who had been pining after her for years.
It felt like a cruel joke, a twist of fate I didn't want any part of.
The sound of footsteps made me pause, and I turned to see Snow approaching from the other side of the training ground.
