章 44: Chapter 44: Broken Bond with New Rules

Ivy POV

Rough hands gripped a hold of my waist, causing my eyes to flutter. Looking up, I watched as Damian’s rugged good looks came into view. The steely, fierce force of his gaze upon me as he lifted my body and carried me forward.

“What are you doing?” I whispered in a raspy tone.

“You’re injured. We have to get you to the hospital.”

The monotone way he spoke to me did nothing but leave me puzzled. Glancing up at the sky, I watched as the red faded from the moon.

The harvest moon was ending.

“Stop, we have to complete the bond.” I moaned softly, trying to move from his grasp. “Put me down.”

“No–” he stated softly, “it’s over. There is no time.”

I was astounded by what he was saying. If we didn’t complete the bond, there would be no turning back. The matebond would be lost forever. “Do you not want me?”

Tears filled my eyes, realizing that I was losing them.
