Alec’s

I wake up with a start, gasping for breath as I sit up on my bed. It takes a while for my brain to start functioning and that’s when I realize that Aspen isn’t next to me where she was when I went to sleep.

I jump off the bed in panic as I remember what happened earlier. Like I said, Aspen is a free and adventurous spirit. You’ll rarely find her in one place.

I start looking for her while trying to stamp down the panic surging inside me. I stop and stand still. My brain must not be working well. I am a damn werewolf; the first thing I should have done was sniff for her.

Sighing, I finally do that and realize that her scent is faint. Meaning she hasn’t been here for a while. I move to my nightstand and pick up my phone. Checking the time, I realize that I slept for close to five hours. Despite that, I still felt a bit tired.

I slump down on my bed and take a deep breath. Have you ever felt like you don’t have the energy to do anything? Like, all you want to do is lie down all day and do nothing? That’s how I feel right now. I don’t want to think about anything or do anything. I just want some peace and quiet.

Despite what happened earlier, I know Alec won’t let it happen again, even if his pack doesn’t heed to my warning. That being said, I still need to know if she’s okay. If only there was a way to communicate with Martha via mind-link. It would make things a lot easier.

“Sadie?”

I freeze on the bed, my heart racing when I hear her voice. At first, I am confused and look around my room. Maybe I’d missed something. Maybe she was helping Aspen in the bathroom… Then again, I would have heard the water running. I would have heard something given that Aspen isn’t really a quiet kid.

“Sadie?” her voice comes again, this time making me sit up straight.

It’s then it hits me that I just heard her voice in my head.

“Martha?” I was completely stunned by what was happening.

“What the hell is going on? How are we able to communicate like this?”

Vege

stare at the wall ahead of me, my eyes wide open and my jaw dropped. Her question rings over and over in my head, but I am too stunned to piece the puzzle together.

This, whatever is happening, should be impossible. Martha is a witch, and I am a wolf. We should not be able to communicate via mind-link even though I am her alpha.

“Sadie, what’s going on?” she asks again, confusion filling her voice.

My hands are shaking. There have been so many changes since Alec rolled back into my life. It’s getting very difficult to keep up with all of them. Some of them, like this current one, should be impossible.

“Before I answer, is Aspen with you?” I ask, remembering why I wanted to talk to her in the first place.

“Yes. I came to your room to get the dirty clothes for laundry. I found her awake. I didn’t want to wake you up since you looked like you needed some sleep, so I took her with me. Don’t worry, she’s with me, and she’s okay.”

Is it still weird that even though I am literally talking to her right now, I still can’t believe that this is actually happening? It’s almost like I am having an out-of-body experience where I feel I’ve detached from myself and the world around me.

I nod my head at her answer, but then I realize that she can’t see me. See, old habits die hard?

“It’s okay. I woke up and didn’t find her next to me. I was worried a bit.” I finally say, getting my brain to work like it should.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“But, how is this possible?” she asks, repeating her former question.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I am not even sure if this is real, or I am still asleep,” I reply, getting off the bed and standing up. Running my hand through my hair, I start pacing. It seems I’ve been doing a lot of that lately.

“It’s not a dream. It’s real,” Martha pauses before continuing. “Did something happen before? What were you doing or thinking right before it happened?”

I take a deep breath and calming breath. Closing my eyes for a bit, I open them before answering.

“I still felt tired and didn’t really feel like doing anything. I wanted to know where Aspen was, but I didn’t want to leave the room, so I just thought of how easy it would be if I could communicate with you through mind-link like I always do with wolves. Minutes later, you called my name.”

“Interesting,” she murmurs, her voice low and full of curiosity. “I’ve never heard of werewolves and witches communicating telepathically. Even among witches, it’s not possible.”

I stop pacing and look at feet. My toes and pink-colored nails stared back at me. I’ve never been a girly girl, but I’ve made some efforts these past few years. Thank the goddess for gel nail polish, otherwise, my polish would have been chipping off by now.

Maybe what I need is a relaxing break. One where I don’t have to think about anything, even if it’s for a couple of hours.

“Sadic?”

“Sorry, my mind wandered off for a while there,” I tell her softly, getting my mind to focus on the present.

“Have you told Raven about it?”

I laugh a little. “I’ve just discovered it, Martha. I haven’t really even had the time to think about it, let alone discuss it with Raven.”

We are both quiet for a while.

“Don’t tell anyone for now. I’ll reveal this to Raven, but for now no one should know about this. Not until we get more information.” I command, breaking the silence.

“I won’t utter a single word.”

With that, assuming this works the same as the one between wolves, I cut off mind-link.

“I see you have discovered one of our many powers.” I jump in surprise, my heart racing at Nyx’s unexpected voice.

I press down a hand on my chest, trying to ease my racing heart. “Nyx, you sacred me.”

“It’s not my fault you are lost in thought,” her bright eyes stare at me calmly as if we didn’t have a fight a few hours ago.

After my heart rate goes back to normal, I speak. “You mentioned something about new powers?”

“Yes, I’ve been waiting for you to discover it. For us, mind-link isn’t limited to just wolves. You can talk to anyone, even humans.”

My mouth drops open. “You are serious?”

“Yes

“How is that even possible?”

GBG.

Her eyes narrow at me suspiciously. It’s not that I was trying to fish for information. I am just curious about how this works.

“It just is,” comes her vague answer.

I roll my eyes, not surprised by her lack of answers. I have to get used to the fact that Nyx won’t tell me anything about what is going on until the time is right. Or until she thinks I am ready.

I can’t really control what’s going to happen, but I can control what is happening now. I can choose to focus on what is going on now.

“Fine,” I grumble, yielding to her.

“You can try it with others. We do have some of the vampires from our pack,” she tells me before she slinks off and cuts off our communication.

I am not in a hurry, so I decide to put it off for now.
