For the first time in my life, I had no idea what I wanted or where I was going, but I was going to figure it out.

Walking awayfrom Morgan was more painful than any of the injuries I’d endured from the demon. I knew this was coming. I could have told her, but I didn’t. I was afraid. If I was being honest with myself, I was afraid she’d leave and I’d never see her again.
That happened anyway.
There was a demon on the loose, threatening to undo the whole world. Threatening to come after my pack. All I could think of was Morgan and how badly I fucked up.
Scarlett had taken off on her own and Zoe was sitting in the front seat. I glanced over at her. “How long until the life bond feelings go away?”
“You don’t want to hear what I have to say about that,” Zoe said.
My brow wrinkled. “What do you mean?”
“Your life bond is broken. What you’re feeling is all you,” she replied.
“So how long to get over an infatuation?” I asked.
“That’s not an infatuation.” She sighed, heavy and resigned. “I can feel it. Scarlett could feel it. I bet even Jasmine sensed it. She might have written it off as the life bond, but it’s not.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“The bond you’re feeling?” Zoe began. “That’s a mating bond.”
I swerved, and Zoe screamed. After regaining control of the car, I pulled over, then faced my best friend. “You’re telling me you let me walk away from my true mate?”
“What were you going to do? Force her to stay with you? After everything she’s been through?” Zoe snapped. “If anything, you gave her exactly what she needed. The freedom she’s never had.”
I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes. Zoe was right. Morgan had been controlled by others her whole life. Most of her life had been planned and dictated for her. With the death of her father, she had a chance to figure out what she wanted.
“How long is it going to hurt?” I asked, my eyes still closed.
“Forever,” Zoe said.
I took a deep breath. “I can deal with forever.”
“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry,” Zoe said.
“So am I.”
