Scarlett POVSaturday night, I finally crashed hard, but the sleep didn’t last.The broken mate bond woke me up again and again, sharp phantom pains slicing through my chest like someone was ripping out stitches that weren’t ready to come out. Each time I jolted awake, heart hammering, throat tight, a low whine stuck in my chest that I had to swallow down.
