Kade's POV
I stared at my phone, the screen dark and silent. I couldn't stop thinking about Sera. Every moment without her felt like a knife twisting deeper into my chest. The mate bond pulled at me constantly, demanding I go to her, claim her, make things right.
But I couldn't. Not yet.
The memory of our last encounter burned in my mind. I'd gotten close enough to smell her, and that's when everything had gone wrong. Damon's scent was all over her. Strong. Possessive. The Alpha's mark was unmistakable.
My hands clenched into fists. My wolf snarled inside me, furious and helpless. Another male's scent on our mate was unbearable. It drove me mad with jealousy, made me want to tear Damon apart. But what could I do? I was powerless to change it.
I couldn't just walk up to the Silver Fang
