Where’s Ivy? Where are th
Kade’s POV“Kade…”He couldn’t feel the mate bond anymore, and it terrified him. Like reaching into a familiar space where there was once warmth and life, only to find cold emptiness within.But he could hear her voice calling to him, soft and distant. She was there still, just further now, and all

My mouth dropped open. I wasn’t expecting Natasha to confess to something like that. Was she just covering up for Beth for some reason? Or was she afraid that I might finally tell my father about what happened all those weeks ago if she didn’t end this now?“Natasha?” My father frowned. “It was you
