The Bound Between Us

Chapter 1027

Anastasia's brow furrowed as soon as she saw who was calling. She just knew— this had to be about Rowan.

She picked up, and Hanna's voice was shaky with worry. "Rowan's missing. He left this morning and hasn't come back..."

Hanna always got anxious about Rowan, but for her to call so panicked after just a day? She must be scared out of her mind.

Anastasia tried to calm her. "Hey, breathe. Rowan's a grown man. I'm sure he's fine. He'll probably walk through the door any minute."

"No, something's wrong. I can't get ahold of him, and I just know he's gone to rescue Asher. Anastasia, you're the only one who can stop him." Hanna's voice was thick, on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry, okay? Let me try and call him..."

She reassured Hanna, hung up, and immediately tried Rowan's number. No dice -straight to voicemail every time.
