Zander P. O. V
The tree lines began to end before me as I ran through the forest with my mate on my back. My heart was thumping against my chest. My wolf was finally calm . It had its mate near it again. It was restless for the last several hours. I did not know when this bond became so strong. The life I had before I met my mate seemed like another lifetime. I thought I could live without my fated mate and I would reject her but yesterday's event only proved that I could not stay without her.
I was fighting a lost battle. Nothing I could do to stop this intense feeling. It scared me. What would I do when something happened to her? She was taken for less than twenty four hours and I felt like I could not breathe. I never let another person have such power over me. It terrified me. Did every alpha king feel the same intensity of feeling for their fated mate and how did they survive when their mates were killed in the rivalry.
