Caleb had traveled straight through the night, driven at speeds that even his fast healing couldn’t have recovered from had he gotten into an accident. But it was worth the risk.
The entire drive, all he wanted was to be near her once more. And after arriving in Winter, his anticipation only grew. To feel the bond between them, hear her voice, and see her smile.
“Get off of me!”
As though a twisted genie had granted his wish, he heard her in the distance. Although she sounded upset and angry, he rushed to find her.
“You and Caleb both need to understand that I don’t want you! I don’t want Summer! Granger is the man I love, my true mate!”
The shock of her words hit him like a brick wall in his path. His feet just stopped where they landed. How could he have forgotten, for even a moment, how vehemently she despised their bond? It was a lifeline for him but a chain to her.
