Chapter 55
Bo
My soul was being torn in two and there was nothing I could do to stop the pain. A scream escaped me
and I crumpled to the ground.
Through the pounding of the pain I heard Zale's deep rumble. Ares pressed against my wolf, trying to
calm us.
But nothing could stop this agony. I tipped my head back and screamed louder.
"Bo!" Warm hands wrapped around my stomach and I was pulled against a hard chest. Javier's growl
was a deep rumble in my ear. "Snap out of it, damn it!"
I shook my head. Everything was breaking.
Then it was gone.
As suddenly as the pain had hit me, it was over.
I felt hollow. I put a hand over my heart. I didn't have to reach up to feel it, I already knew the mark that
my mate had left on me was gone. Just erased like it had never lived on my flesh to begin with.
"No," I whispered. My voice cracking with every word. "She's gone."
Zale and Javier glanced at each other. Zale pulled away from me to stare down. "What are you talking
about?"
"Amanda," I whispered. "She's been taken away."
They gave each other a strange look again, once more leaving me out of it. "What?" I demanded. I
looked from one to the other.
Wait a minute. Why weren't my mates suffering? Shouldn't they be in agony as well?
"What's wrong with him, Zale?" Javier snapped. "He's shaking!"
Was I? I looked down and my limbs trembled. I was shaking. I craned my neck to look back at Zale.
"What's going on?" I whispered.
"I've got this," rumbled a darker voice from inside Zale. His eyes turned pure gold and Ares peered out
at me. "She's not dead," he huffed at me.
The tight ball of fear inside me faded away. She wasn't dead.
But wait. "Did she reject me?" I whispered. But didn't she have to be in front of me for that to work? I
didn't understand how she could manage it from so far away.
"Idiot," Javier growled in my ear. "If anyone is going to reject your worthless ass it would be me and I
haven't even thought about it. You need to stop jumping to the worst conclusions. Ares, what
happened? What's going on with Amanda?"
Ares turned his dark eyes to Javier. "It's not always a bad thing to be prepared for the worst. In this
case, it is the worst." He sighed heavily. "Your bond has been erased, Bo. Like it never existed in the
first place."
"No way," I shook my head. There was no possible way that could be true. "That's not possible. No one
is capable of just erasing a fucking bond. The Moon Goddess herself blessed us with them."
Ares cocked his head. "Exactly," he said with a frown. "Only the Moon Goddess would be capable of
such a thing, as far as I know. I don't understand how it's even an option for anyone else."
"What the fuck did you do, Bo? Why would she decide to punish your ass? You hurt Amanda?"
I scowled. How could I hurt her when I was busy training an army? "I've been with you guys and Clara,
and that's it. When would I have time to piss her off?"
Javier gave me a look. "You weren't cheating on our mate, were you?" his voice was calm but there
was a deadly tone beneath it all.
My eyes eyes turned gold. Maybe I wouldn't be able to beat him completely, but I was going to beat his
ass for even suggesting that. "You fucking asshole. Why do you think I'd ever do that to her? Amanda Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
is ours, I'd never cheat on our mate."
Ares shook his head again. "I don't think that is the case. Whoever took our mate, that wizard was able
to block me off from her. My bond isn't gone, but no matter what I do I can't get through to her or even
her wolf."
"But why?" I demanded. "And why only me? This isn't fair."
Ares's eyes turned back to Zale's and my Alpha nodded. "We're going to figure this out. And I know
exactly how. I'm going to go demon hunting. Bo, you need to stay with Clara. Javier, you're coming with
me. That wizard smelled of a demon so we're going to find out just what he was doing over there."
I scowled. "You're really going to stop me from helping you? God damn it, Zale. You can't do that shit to
me."
For answer, he ignored me.
"Zale!"
He sighed and glanced back my way. "Bo, you can't help me. You don't have a bond with Amanda at all
right now. You're practically worthless. You'll stay here, and keep Clara safe. Keep an eye on the
training for the pack, and I need you to make sure that first wizard doesn't try to take advantage of the
situation and break through."
"Hey, Zale. I was thinking," Javier pondered.
Now what did that idiot want? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at him.
"What?" Zale snapped. Sounded like he was done with Javier's shit too.
"What are we going to do if that guy is a wizard a demon? I mean, don't get me wrong. I have faith in
your powers as a Prime, but that's not exactly the best combo for us to be facing, and you don't have
full control yet."
Zale snorted. "That's what part of this demon hunt is about. First, I'll get some field practice in and burn
some of those fuckers to the ground, and second I'll get some valuable information on just who that
asshole was that dared to touch our woman. Don't worry, Bo, we will get Amanda back. I don't care
how many wizard fuckers or demons we have to go through. She's ours, and we'll burn this entire world
down to get to her."
