Zephyrine POV
The rain poured down heavily, the storm howling as though it were angry at the world. I sat by my window, my knee drawn up to my chest, my head resting on my arm.
My expression darkened, but why? What was it that bothered me? Something felt off, as if a piece of me was missing. I groaned softly, clutching my chest. The mate bond.
Where was Caden? Was he in Grim Hollow? I wondered what kind of place that could be. Did it rain there too? What kind of world was it? How did they live in a place like that? Despite my desperate search for answers, I found nothing. No one had ever heard of Grim Hollow. Even Alpha Jared had no knowledge of the path that led to that realm.
I was still lost in my thoughts when a knock sounded at the door. I sprang to my feet and opened it to find Roland, drenched through to the bone. I quickly ushered him inside.
"Where have you been? Why are you so soaked?" I demanded, hurrying to fetch a towel.
