Wes's POV I feel it as she leaves, a part of my soul ripping away to be with her and every inch of me wishing I could follow her. I send Beau and Jiren instead, sure she will be mad over the intrusion but unable to bear her leaving alone. "Keep her safe" I link the pair my voice weak as I return to our rooms alone.

I collapse onto the couch not sure how much time has passed before Kyan walks in, his expression solemn. "They're with her, she's safe" he says as he closes the door behind him and then comes to sit beside me. I take a deep breath in and out as a small part of me relaxes, the larger part remaining on edge without my mate besid
