Mason couldn’t sleep. Not after what Luke had told him. He played the events over and over again in his mind. And each time, he only came to the same conclusion: he broke her somehow. It was dawn when he decided that it was up to him to fix her.

He got Cassie ready for day care, dropped her off, and then went to work at the mines. It was a good thing that they finished work early, so he was already outside the building where Amelia worked at four that afternoon. He waited across the street, counting the minutes until five.

Sure enough, ten minutes after five, Amelia breezed out of the building. She was dressed in her usual office attire—jacket, blouse, pencil skirt, and sensible heels. Her dark blonde hair was tied into a bun at the nape of her neck.

Mine! His polar bear roared when he set eyes on her. How could he not realize what his bear had been telling him all these years?

She walked east, to the small lot a block away where he knew she had parked. Using his shifter speed, he quickly got in front of her.

“Mason?” she asked. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry,” he said.

“For what—Mason!”

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the empty alleyway beside her building. He pushed her against the wall and leaned forward.

She placed her hands on his chest to push him away. She was strong, but he was stronger. He slammed his palms on either side of her, trapping her, and moved in closer, trying to catch her scent. Mint shampoo. Traces of ink and paper. Sweat. But he couldn’t pick up her scent of fur and honeysuckle. He tipped her head up toward him and looked straight into her eyes. What he saw there—or didn’t—would haunt him forever. It was like staring into an empty void.

“Amelia?”

“Get away from me.” Her voice was quiet, but dead serious.

“No,” he said. “Not until you tell me what’s going on. Why do you smell like this? Is your bear sick?” His own animal whimpered, unable to feel its mate, and pain slashed through him.

“It’s none of your business. Now, please.” She swallowed hard. “Let me go.”

“I can’t,” he rasped. “Please, Amelia. Tell me what happened.”

“I …” She broke into a sob, and his stomach dropped like a stone. “It’s gone. My bear. It’s just … vanished.”

“It’s my fault.” Mason knew it. Amelia’s silence and her refusal to meet his eyes told him it was true. “You were trying to tell me we had bonded. I didn’t understand. But I should have.” He pulled away from her, then slammed his fist against the wall so hard that the cement broke under his fingers. The sound of breaking bones was unmistakable too, and made her jump in surprise. “I broke you. I broke us.”

He deserved to die. And his polar bear agreed. It roared so loudly, his ears rang. He could feel the rage and hate flowing through him. His fingers were growing, turning into claws.
