Chapter 343

Third–person POV

The night air clawed at her skin, but the real chill came from within. Daisy sank down against the garden wall, phone clutching her hand, her whole body trembling.

The bond flared suddenly, searing through her veins, and white–hot pain ripped across her chest and belly, making her gasp. Her nails clawed at her skin as the truth hit her–Noah was with someone else… again.
