The Fated Series
Shattered Bonds
The woods were quiet, but inside Evandra, there was only screaming.
Each step was agony, her lungs still raw from sobbing, her body trembling as though every bone in her had cracked and splintered. The mate bond’s severing left her hollow, yet heavy—an emptiness that pressed against her chest until she could hardly breathe. She stumbled over roots and branches, shredded pieces of fabric from her night gown torn and dull beneath the silver wash of moonlight.
She pressed a hand to her chest as if she could hold the bond there, keep it from unraveling further, but it was gone. He had ripped it away.
