Kane’s POV
The night air was cold against my skin as we left the pack. To the outside world, it looked like three Alphas heading out on another hunt but inside, I was breaking apart piece by piece.
The bond with Ava was there, but faint, It was like a candle flame blown by wind. Not gone, not dead. Just suppressed so low it was agony to reach for her and feel nothing but a thin, trembling thread. It was worse than pain, it was emptiness.
Zack walked beside me, quiet as ever, his jaw locked tight. Lucas was on my other side, restless, his eyes flashing gold every time his wolf surged forward. None of us spoke, what words were there when all three of us were thinking the same thing? She’s gone, she’s hurting and we can’t get to her fast enough.
At the edge of the forest, our Betas, Elias
