Chapter 258

LEAH

I blink my eyes open and grimace when I realize my whole body hurts.

I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. And a train. And then a steamroller.

Every muscle aches and every joint hurts and for a minute I can’t remember what happened.

And I don’t know where I am.

In some kind of office, and I’ve been left lying on a narrow cot.

Just as I sit up, the door opens and Karolina comes in.

In that second, all the memories of the past days come flooding back, and I gasp, my hand flying to my chest.

The absence of my mating bond with Aaron is like a black hole inside me.

It’s a void at the very center of my soul that’s never going to

be filled.

executed at the next full moon.
