Zaiden’s POV
The battle haze was only just clearing. Rogues had been driven back to the borders, and my warriors were rallying, bloodied but standing strong.
I should have felt victorious. I should have felt the triumph of survival.
But instead…, I froze.
The bond.
It had always been there a pulse beneath my skin, a faint pull at the back of my mind. Karen’s heartbeat, her fear, her stubborn will pressing against mine even when she tried to resist me.
