SERA
I felt him before I saw him.
The mate bond, broken, damaged, but still there, pulled tight in my chest. A sharp ache that made me gasp and press my hand against my ribs.
"Sera?" Elena looked up from the herbs she was sorting. "What's wrong?"
"He's here," I whispered. "Thorne, he's at the border."
I didn't know how I knew, the bond shouldn't work like this anymore, not after the rejection but somehow, I felt his presence.
Elena set down her work. "Do you want me to come with you?"
I shook my head, "I need to do this alone."
"Kade won't like that."
"Kade doesn't get to decide," The words came out sharper than intended. "Sorry, I just..I need to face Thorne myself."
Elena squeezed my shoulder, "you're stronger than you think child, remember that."
I walked through the compound
