Chapter 31

It’s been two days since our minds were blown away by new revelations. The more things were revealed, the more complicated they became. It seemed like we were wrong about so many things. The only thing that we were right about was the damn curse.

I push Knox harder as he runs through the trees, dodging branches and roots. Our minds were a total f**g mess and everything was just jumbled.

We were still reeling from the knowledge that Lola wasn’t our fated mate. Just like I loved Lola, Knox loved her wolf. The bond we felt with the two of them was too real to be faked. How can it be when we

felt every damn thing with her?

It took about ten minutes before we skidded to a stop at a cliff. Slowly approaching the edge, he takes his time before finally stopping all together. We stare below before our eyes rise to meet the moon. It’s a crescent moon, and for some reason, I feel like the moon goddess is mocking me. This is the shape my mate’s mark is supposed to be, yet we had no idea.

“What are you thinking, Knox? You’re quiet,” I asked him.

He’s blocking me. Hiding his thoughts from me.

He doesn’t say anything for some time, but when he does, I can feel the confusion and heartache in

think she deceived us?” I don’t need to be told who he’s talking about. “Everything points to that being the case, but my heart wants to believe that she didn’t. Maybe she was used or some **t

I knew one way or another, it would lead to Lola. For three years, we have thought about nothing but the pack and Lola.

It’s been three f**g years, and yet we haven’t found anything that would guide us to where Lola could be… Or what happened to her.
