Chapter 21: When the Bond Dies
Justin screamed.
Not a human sound.
Not even a wolf's.
Something deeper.
Something broken.
The mate bond didn't fade.
It ripped.
Like his soul was being torn open from the inside.
He felt the exact moment her life ended.
Felt it echo inside him.
And something in him died with her.
Slowly, carefully, he laid her body down.
Then he stood.
The world went red.
