Chapter Thirty-Two

ASHER

A sher checked the time again before he continued pacing in front of Sunny’s house.

Where is she?

He’d checked the diner, the bar, everywhere he could think she might be in the Hollow.

His wolf was panicking, and he was trying to remain calm. She had said she wouldn’t leave. She had promised, but even reminding himself of that did little to stave the incoming spiral.

The sun was setting behind her house, and with each minute, it sank into the horizon the fear that she wasn’t coming back heightened.

He tried and tried to calm himself, but all he could feel was the panic he’d felt when he woke up the terrible morning all those years ago to a note saying his mate had left.

This could not be happening again.
