Six hours have passed since I lost all connection with Ember, and the resulting anxiety is overwhelming.
Gunner would sense if Ember was in pain and he did not, but the fact the link between us went dead had me pacing the palace.
Shortly, Aaron was going to bring his mate to the palace for the very first time, but he made it clear that the topic of mate bonds was off-limits.
I thought he was wrong for doing this. He needed to be honest with her and stop fighting his wolf. Aaron may find that his lack of honesty with her in the beginning may cause issues in the future.
In my endeavor to achieve a state of relaxation and have confidence in Ember's word to come back, I chose to sit in a cozy sitting room and admire the view beyond a window.
It didn't take much time at all befo
