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
