The Beast And The Blessed Chapter 42

Forty-Two: Natalie

Natalie’s P.O.V.

Tobias grunted as I turned to him and let out a deep breath. My eyes felt dry, and my smile fell as soon as Killian was gone. It finally made sense why I felt so connected to him… why I felt like something was missing when he wasn’t around. But what I was feeling now was more than just my mate being away from me.

It took a moment for me to collect myself, but I lifted my chin and made my way out of the room.
