Chapter 210
“We heard back from the scouts and we may have a problem with Dark Valley” Dominic says.
I look at Cole and he doesn’t even look my way. The rejection stings harder than I expect.
“Okay what does that mean?” I ask because if there’s another potential threat to us I need all the details.
“Kasen said the pack lands were abandoned” Dominic replies.
A chill immediately runs down my spine. Entire packs don’t just disappear.
I turn to Cole “So what are you trying to do?” I ask him.
His jaw ticks before he looks at me “I think we should take a trip and see if you can get a vision and see if you can find out what
happened” he says.
His voice is calm again but colder now. Professional. Alpha to Luna instead of mate to mate. That hurts worse than the yelling did.
moment “Okay” I say.
between us “Okay we are going to go and let you two talk” She says tapping Dominic to help her up.
e second the door shuts the room feels painfully quiet.
After everyone leaves the room, we sit in silence for a whole 5 minutes neither of us saying an a thing. I can hear every tiny sound now-the ticking clock, Cole’s breathing, my own heartbeat pounding too fast. He shakes his head and walks out of the room.
Panic immediately explodes in my chest.
I jump up and run behind him “Wait Cole please” I say and he stops but doesn’t turn around. That somehow hurts more than if he kept walking.
“Lyric you’re not reads to talk to me” he says.
bhis arm his body visibly relaxes before he pulls his arm from my grasp.
my reaction gives me hope for half a second before he rips it away again.
“I’m sorry” I say softly.
He turns slightly “Why were you crying when you got back and be honest?” he asks and I freeze.
Because he still notices. Even angry. Even hurt. He still notices everything about me.

Chapter 210
Tell him” Nova says.

He sucks his teeth and chuckles dryły. “like I said not ready to talk” he says as he turns and walks down the hall leaving me
standing there crying.
The bond aches violently watching him walk away from me again.
“Luna dinner is being served” Joshua says.
I wave my hand “Go, switch with Henry, tell Aria I said hey” I say walking towards my bedroom. Food is the last thing on my mand
right now.
“Luna let me walk you to your room” He says softly.
I stop and turn to look at him “I’m fine Joshua, I will see you in the morning” I say before turning and walking down the hall.
The halls feel colder tonight somehow. Too quiet. Too empty without Cole beside me.
I stop at the nursery and I see Zach is up. I scoop him up and he smiles up at me and my heart melts, I just decide to take him in
the room with me.
The second he curls against my chest some of the panic eases. Barely.
I take my clothes off and climb into bed with him. He eventually falls asleep on my chest and I lay him on the bed. I check the baby monitor and Eloise and Adonis are still sleeping.
I know i need to fix things with Cole before it gets worse. We need to be on the same page especially if we are facing another
threat.
Because if something happens while we’re like this, I’ll never forgive myself.
I snuggle up next to Zachariah and close my eyes hoping he comes back to the room tonight.
But the longer the silence stretches through the bond, the more I start to fear he won’t.
