Chapter 502

• Duncan
• ‘ Brother, you're my favorite person in the whole wide world!’ a memory of five year Apphia flashes in my head. She cradled my head, smiling. My mother who sat cross us watched us interact with a smile, and adoration in her eyes.
• I felt it, and my heart felt like it was being torn from my chest. My sister, my only sister's bond, had been severed from the Ivory moon pack, and as the new alpha, I felt it. It hurt. It has been two months since she's been missing, and I'm doing everything to find her, but it's futile as the royal city is too vast. Gavin, too, is beside himself with regret. He almost went crazy when he felt the bond that connected Apphia to the pack break. My father, the old bastard, didn't care too much about it or didn't show it, but I saw concern in his eyes. There are only a few reasons pack links are severed, either death or entering a new pack. I pray each waking moment that it is the latter.
