Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

Chapter 48

-Alex's POV-

I don't know the specific place werewolves go when they leave this earth. Humans believed in heaven and hell. Werewolves, unlike humans, believed our creation came from the moon goddess.

I shouldn't have kissed her then she was gone, the door shutting behind her leaving me how I had been these last four years since I drove her out of my life.

Alone and Empty.

My hand instinctively reached for my phone and with a few taps, I sent a terse text to Christian: "At The Den. Now."
