EdwardI felt him break.Not in some poetic, abstract way. Not like sensing his sadness from afar. I felt it like lightning through my spine, sharp, searing and all wrong.One moment, there was a distant ache in my chest, the usual pull that never left me since I had marked him. The next, it twisted. Collapsed. Then it went silent.The bond never went silent. It never did unless…My body moved before thought caught up. I bolted from the office, ran towards the forest and then shifted halfway through the woods, clothes tearing, gravel flying beneath my paws. I didn’t even know where I was going at first, just that I had to move. I didn't care that it was daytime and that someone might see me. The bond had a scent now. A direction. His pain called to me like a beacon. Albert.Albert.My Albert.My mate needed me.When I reached the edge of the city, I shifted back. Blood still under my nails. Mud on my feet. I didn’t care. I grabbed whatever I could from someone's spare stash in a car

EmonWhen I walked into Bibi Kamwe’s workroom that night, I already knew something had changed.The air was heavier. The shadows were longer. The fire crackled in her hearth, but it gave off no warmth, only light. Pale and thin and flickering.She was waiting for me, her back to the door, her long gray braids falling down the curve of her spine like rivers of ash. In front of her, the table was covered in things that didn’t belong in the modern world; feathers still sticky with blood, black stones that pulsed like hearts, bones carved with symbols I couldn’t read.“You said I could break the bond,” I said.She didn’t turn.“I said it could be done. I never said it would be easy.”I took a step closer. “Then tell me how. Teach me how.”Slowly, she faced me. Her eyes were ancient fire.“I’ll tell you. But you must listen without flinching. No protests. No naive demands for shortcuts. This is real magic, boy. It doesn’t care about your good intentions. Magic takes and you must be ready.”
