LENNOX Still not found! The phone nearly cracked in my grip. I had been pacing my room for the last twenty minutes, the urge to shift crawling under my skin like a wild beast. My wolf was restless—agitated beyond reason—because the last thing my father had just told me was the last thing I wanted to hear. “She’s still not found?” I roared, my voice echoing off the cold marble walls of my room. My father exhaled on the other end, the sound older and heavier than I had ever heard it. “No. The search teams have combed the borders twice. Nothing.” My jaw clenched so hard my teeth ached. Fury burned through me, hot and violent. My fists curled, nails digging into my palms until I smelled the metallic scent of blood. Amelia was still gone. Amelia… my mate. Amelia… who had rejected me.
