Because I wanted nothing to do with him.

Not anymore.

We’re done.

I shadowed myself back to the igloo and directly into the shower, my wolf instantly giving me my body back. I wasn’t sure if Cillian had released me from his oppressive energy or if I’d somehow fought him off.

It didn’t matter.

I was alone.

And all I wanted to do… was cry.

I flipped the water on and lay on the heated tile floor.

It wouldn’t stay warm for long, but I probably wouldn’t even notice.

Because all I felt inside was ice.

Might as well freeze on the outside, too.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

CILLIAN

What the fuck just happened?

I couldn’t feel Ivana. Couldn’t sense her mind. Couldn’t even determine her location.

It was as though she’d justdied.

I scanned Glacier Sector, searching for her presence.Nothing.

My inability to sense her suggested she was no longer within reach of my powers. Which could only mean she’d left Glacier Sector.

Did she go back to her nest?I wondered, bewildered and a whole hell of a lot concerned.Did she shadow somewhere else entirely?

Fuck.I ran my fingers through my hair as I scanned the frigid landscape.Fuck!

I pulled up a screen on my watch, my finger hovering over a phone icon.

Kieran would be able to tell me instantly if Ivana had returned to Blood Sector.

Or I could shadow there myself.

Except that would mean leaving the other Omegas.

Fritz and Benz weren’t strong enough to guard them all against a pack of lust-crazed Alphas. Not that such a pack of Alphas currently existed, but the potential for one kept me rooted to Glacier Sector’s ice.

How the hell did Ivana break my hold on her?I marveled. She shouldn’t have been able to shadow, let alone leave this sector.

I’d been harsh. Cruel, even.But wandering around without a guardian…I nearly growled at the foolish concept.What the fuck had she been thinking?

For once, I couldn’t even attempt to answer the question.

Because I couldn’t fucking feel her anymore.

I uttered another curse and selected Kieran’s name.
