Chapter 94. My Mate Ran Away From Me

Edward’s POV

The next morning came far too quickly, as if the night itself had conspired against me, slipping away before I could gather enough strength to face another day without her. I didn’t allow myself the luxury of lingering in bed or indulging in exhaustion. Purpose dragged me upright before the sun had fully risen.

Caliana was still out there.

That single thought burned through every other feeling.

By midmorning, I had gathered several high-ranking warriors—men and women I trusted with my life. They were not only elite fighters but also skilled trackers, chosen specifically for their ability to follow faint trails and piece together fragments others would overlook. I handed each of them a picture of Caliana, my fingers tightening briefly on the edges before letting go.
