Chapter 164

Dominic's P.O.V. Leaving Katarina that morning was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time. Every fiber of my being, and Hunter's too, yearned to stay by her side. The bond between us had grown stronger since completing the mate bond, making the separation almost unbearable. Work was a distant priority, and focusing on anything other than her was nearly impossible. Her angelic face constantly flashed in my mind, tempting me to abandon everything and go to her. The events of last night played on a loop, stirring the deep-seated urge to protect her. I never imagined I would be blessed with a mate as extraordinary as Katarina.
