Cade's POV
I kicked down the cabin door and stepped inside. My heart was beating so fast it hurt. Behind me, five of my best fighters waited for orders. But all I could see was her.
Ember.
She was lying on a small bed, pale as snow. Her green eyes were wide with fear when she saw me. She looked so tiny and fragile. Nothing like the strong girl who used to fight with me at the tree farm.
"Hello, Ember," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "I've missed you."
My cousin Ash jumped up from a chair beside her bed. His brown eyes were full of anger. "Get out, Cade. She doesn't want to see you."
"I think she can speak for herself."
"She almost died because of you!" Ash shouted. "She was in a car crash running from you!"
The words hit me like a punch in the stomach. "What?"
"You heard me. She nearly bled to death on New Year's Day. All because she was trying to get away from the man who broke her heart."
I looked at Ember. She wouldn't meet my eyes. "Is that true?"
