Ember POV:
I was running, determined to put distance between myself and Crescent Moon. The sun was setting when Gage first mind linked with me, Darlin’ please, wherever you are just tell me. I will come get you, I can’t live without you. I hadn’t blocked our link yet and hearing the pain in Gage’s voice made me second guess my decision. My wolf wouldn’t let me block him; she didn’t want to let him go just yet; even though we both knew it was for the best.
I stopped next to a river to get a drink and think about my next move. The cool water felt nice as it made its way down my dry throat. I curled up with my back against a large pine tree. I wanted to stay in wolf form for now, it would be safer. Then I heard Gage, his voice more pleading than the first time as night began to fall, Ember
