“Can she come back?”
“When a soul has completely left, no.”
I raise the gun, my finger on the trigger. I couldn’t see anything but her. The voices around me were echoes.
Images of how we met replay in my head. How I saw her from the gates. How I followed her into the forest and watched her talk to herself, though that turned out to be her Wolf. The first time I kissed her. How her skin was so soft under my fingers. The way she would snore yet insist she didn’t. She had opened herself to me and now, I could feel her slipping.
My lungs grow tight until I can barely breathe. She is supposed to be my mate for life, but she had lost herself in her grief. She had been forced out. She had given up on us.
I drop the gun and back out of the room. She was dead. She was gone. It wasn't her.
Neah shouts something about not letting Raven out of their sight. She appears in the hallway seconds later. “You shot her.”
“It’s not her.” I look up into my Alpha’s blue eyes. Somehow, through it all, she had kept a level of calmness. She had seen something that we hadn’t. “What do you think we should do?”
“Abraxas said she was gone. Do you feel it?”
I nod. I had never had a need to curl up in a ball and hide from the word. I always faced it head on. But losing a mate was like nothing I had ever felt. It is painful. It is full of sorrow. And everything no longer feels straight forward.
“She gave up.” I slam my fist against the wall. “She fucking gave up after everything!”
Neah doesn’t say anything. She lets me hit the wall over and over without so much as a flinch.
When I stop, my busted up knuckles are already healing which just irritates me more. I turn to face Neah. “Why haven’t you said anything?”
“I’m not feeling what you are feeling.”

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
