Kane POV
Whatever Elena was engaging in… yeah, I already knew.
She was fucking around.
And it was tearing my heart apart.
The pain was unbearable—excruciating—like claws ripping through my chest, over and over again. The mate bond was supposed to make us stronger, but all it did was remind me how far gone she was.
I was reduced to a grumpy, unreasonable wolf, snapping at anyone who came near me.
My beta and gamma had taken over most of the pack duties because nobody—not a single fucking soul—dared to stand in front of me without getting hurt.
I was out of control.
A ticking time bomb.
And Ace—that stupid fucking bastard—was nowhere to be found.
I had marked every map, scoured every territory, searched every border.
I combed through the entire damn country, but she was nowhere to be found.
Where the fuck did they take her?
He was hiding like a coward, keeping Elena under his claws, fucking with her mind.
Or worse… fucking her.
