Chapter 39 Pain and Panic

• Twelve agonizing hours without seeing his mate had started driving Aiden up the wall, and he made sure he brought Griffon along with him. Finally, after not being able to see her, but feeling the pain, sadness, and hopelessness coming from his mate, he was told he was allowed to go on patrol. His father had left his study early that morning and was walking around pack territory.
