"Kael!"
Corvine's voice brought him out of his conversation with Razor. He had been watching Kael for a while, and this was the first time he had seen him become so distracted during training. His attention was clearly elsewhere, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular while his body remained completely still.
"Are you all right?"
Kael didn't bother pretending everything was normal. Turning toward him, he wore an unusually serious expression as he gave him an honest answer.
"I feel a mate bond, Corvine. I want to find out who it is."
Corvine's heart sank the moment Kael mentioned the mate bond, an unpleasant feeling settling in his chest as his thoughts immediately went to Jasmine.
The painful realization that she still didn't have her new wolf meant she couldn't possibly be the one triggering the bond, and for a moment, he struggled to find anything reassuring to say.
