CHAPTER 412
~Snow's POV~
I stepped out into the front yard, my body vibrating with fury. This wasn't over. I wouldn't let her slip through my fingers. Not now.
I shut my eyes, inhaling deeply, pushing past the storm of emotions raging inside me. I needed to focus.
"Glacier, I need you."
My wolf stirred, his presence immediately becoming strong in my mind.
"We've been lied to for weeks now. We lost our chosen mate in the process. For Zara's sake, I need you to find Vera. Wherever she is. She's cloaking herself, I know that, but use whatever is left of the fake mate bond."
There was silence, then a pause. I knew Glacier cared for Vera and asking him to do this was a gamble but he felt hurt with Zara leaving. He needed this too.
Then, Glacier growled. "That's the problem, Snow. The mate bond isn't fake."
I stiffened. "What?"
"You heard me."
My fists clenched. "How would you know?"
