[Cathrine’s POV] When I first heard Chase’s voice call out my name, I couldn’t believe he actually was standing right there in front of me, I had to physically touch him, to make sure, that I wasn’t imagining it. But when I did, we both realized that the mate bond was somehow gone. I felt hurt by the look in his eyes, as he just stood there staring at me. I felt like a complete stranger to him and worst of all, I couldn’t give him any answers on why things were like this. I could see both hurt and anger in his eyes, mostly directed at Vlad and I probably didn’t make it easier on him, when I was defending Vlad. But what hurt the most was how indifferent he was towards me afterwards. I know I pulled away from him first, but he made no attempt in either touching me or looking at me on
