Pain. That was all I felt as I struggled to run toward the direction Rex had come from, her screams still echoing in the night air. It felt like my heart was being torn into a million pieces with every single step I took. My wolf howled inside me, a sound of pure agony, as the bond that had weaved itself into the very fabric of our soul, the bond that had been nothing but comfort and light—shattered into absolute nothingness. I couldn’t even take more than a few steps through the rising chaos before my legs buckled, and I collapsed onto the dirt, tears blinding my vision. My hands clawed at my chest as if i could somehow hold the pieces of my soul together, but no relief came. Absolutely nothing. "Robin..." I choked out, my voice breaking under the weight of a sorrow i could barely bear. I clawed at the sand, the sounds of the celebration completely fading into a dull silence. "Robin, please..." I begged, hoping, praying that by some twisted miracle our bond would weave itself bac

Robin’s POV Pain. That was the only thing that filled my head the moment I was finally able to force my eyes open. It wasn’t the sharpest kind of pain. It was dull… so dull that it settled in the pit of my core, tugging at me from within. I hissed lightly as I tried to sit up, only to be pulled back down by iron chains. An unsteady breath escaped me as I tried to get comfortable on the cold floor while my eyes scanned the dark room. I couldn’t make anything out at first, but my eyes adjusted to the lack of lighting in no time. The room was barely even standing, and that poignant smell of rot filled the place like it had been abandoned for years. My head and chest throbbed even more as I recounted what led to me being here… Rex. The rogues. The mention of Manuel. And… me snapping my bond with Julian. That was what that unending dull pain and hollowness was. My chest tightened even more as I thought of it, and my breathing almost ceased from the guilt and pain that rushed

The feeling that ran through me was almost indescribable, but the only one I could be sure of was the pure relief that washed over me as the fact that Robin was still alive settled in. As long as he was alive, then finding him should be the only issue now. The confirmation I had been praying for had finally come. But at what cost? “Wait,” I rushed out, walking over to grab the letter from Aries’s hands. I looked over it one more time before letting it fall to the floor. “He didn’t make any demands,” I breathed, my chest tightening. “He didn’t ask for anything in exchange for Robin… why?” I asked, looking around before my eyes finally settled on Aries. “It’s unlike him, don’t you think?” “That must mean he has something else planned,” Lucian muttered before Aries could speak. “Seems like his letter was just to inform us that he currently has the upper hand. That’s all,” he finished. I let out another breath, mentally going through what was written in the letter once again to che

Robin’s POV Another day passed by without so much as a sliver of hope. My wolf was no longer whimpering in pain now, he had gone totally silent. So silent that the gaping hole in my mind felt even more hollow than before. I tried to converse with Sean again, desperately trying to get at least one of them to doubt Manuel’s cause, but all my attempts fell on deaf ears. It seemed they had been strictly ordered not to engage with me anymore. The guards took turns watching the room in rotating shifts, ensuring I was never left in here alone for even a second. Manuel was being deeply cautious. He wasn’t sure when—or if—my wolf would return, and he wasn't taking any chances. I thought I would be able to overhear something, to find out what the next phase of their plan was about, but I got nothing. They were so tight-lipped that no one uttered a single word around me anymore. Night found me sitting in that exact same spot once again, and a frustrated sigh escaped me. I had never felt so u

A few more agonizing days passed by without so much as a word from either Manuel or the scouts. At least, that was until we got another message from Manuel last night. I had been locked in my room for close to two days now, not even bothering to join the search party anymore. After my last talk with Rex, it was hard to hide away all my emotions and pain once more, so I just let them be. I let myself feel every single one. While it may have helped me feel more human now, it also made me physically weak, which was why I couldn’t go with Damon to search anymore. But I trusted them, every single one of them. That night, I finally stepped out of my room when Lucian sprinted over to inform me of Manuel’s letter. I walked with him to the sitting room where everyone was gathered already and dropped onto the couch, waiting to hear the contents. This could be the lucky break I had been waiting for, and I was more than certain that he would have demands now. “What does it say?” Rex breathe
