Once I was safely in the shower, I finally allowed myself to break down. The pain in my chest caused by Amon’s absence was growing larger, and I worried that if he did not reach out soon, I would become lost in the darkness.

Smothering my own mouth with my hand, I cried through the pain. It hurt more than any physical injury I had ever had to endure. I would have rather had Zayne break each one of my bones than suffer another minute of separation from my mate. It felt unnatural.

I found myself in front of the impossibly thick adamantium wall of the triquetra’s magick that prevented me from visiting him through the trace. I threw myself and my magick against it again and again, but it wouldn’t budge.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was horribly wrong, and his silence was truly starting to worry me.

I wasn’t sure how long I cried in the shower, but my fingers were like prunes by the time I crawled out and into a comfortable pair of black cotton pants and my favorite knit black sweater.

All things considered; it was nice to wear something other than armor again. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to sleep, I grabbed a book from the shelf by my bed. Its whispers told me it was a fluffy romance, and that was just what I needed to chase away the darkness that threatened to consume me with each passing moment.

I padded out into the hallway, heading toward the common room when I spotted Meredith speaking quietly to Rycon on the other side of the East Wing. The roar of the waterfall that separated us made it impossible for me to hear their conversation, but the tense looks on both of their faces caused me to pause.

I had blocked our bond when I felt myself falling apart to spare him from feeling the same excruciating pain I was suffering through. However, he hadn’t been feeling much better since we had brought Kasha home. If I didn’t know any better, I would say he was just as heartbroken as I was.

I watched Meredith lay a gentle hand on his shoulder, and his face closed down at whatever it was she was saying to him. Looking sad, she turned away, leaving him standing alone in the corridor. I winced when he turned suddenly and cracked his fist against the sharp volcanic stone wall. He shook his hand out angrily then stalked away, in the direction of Kasha’s room.

Frowning, I abandoned my plans and made my way across the main intersection of the East Wing and followed the shifter down the corridor. I found him sitting on the floor across from Kasha’s door, an unlit cigarette perched between his lips and his elbows on his knees.

He didn’t even glance at me as I approached, his golden eyes trained through Kasha’s open door. She was still sleeping soundly, curled in a tiny ball in her blankets, and the way Rycon was looking at her was breaking my damn heart.
