Chapter 27: The Alpha Who Lost His Soul
Justin survives.
But the man he was doesn't.
The incomplete severing of the bond leaves him unstable. Volatile.
Haunted.
He feels her still—faint, distant, like a phantom limb.
A connection that shouldn't exist…
…but does.
Painfully.
Endlessly.
He refuses another mate.
Because some part of him still belongs to someone who rejected him.
