Chapter 116: Frozen Bonds and Fractured Trust
(Alexander’s POV)
The mate bond felt like a frozen river, vast and unyielding. I could sense its presence, but every attempt to reach across sank into an icy void.
Each time I tried reaching Grace through the bond, the silence clawed harder at me, shredding what little patience I had left. She was there, but unreachable.
The frustration churned in my chest, building like a storm. I gripped my phone tightly as if crushing it would somehow alleviate the tension—but it was no use.
With a sharp growl, I hurled the phone toward the wall. The device shattered, pieces scattering across the room.
The loud c***k echoed through my private Alpha office. Even the oppressive weight of my energy couldn’t drown out the stark finality of the sound.
