I snapped back to reality. This night marked Aiden’s first mind link to me after a week of silence between us.
With anxiety creeping in, I rushed downstairs and outside the pack mansion, still trying to reach Aiden through our mind link, but he ignored me completely. I was certain he had received my call, yet chose to remain silent.
As helplessness and fear overwhelmed me, I hurried out, my mind racing with panic. In my haste, I misstepped and fell to the cold ground. Sitting there, I felt a warm, wet sensation spreading beneath me.
Drenched in sweat, a chilling realization struck me through my inner wolf: I was on the verge of losing our pups.
As panic set in, I desperately tried to mind-link Aiden, but he still chose to ignore me. I picked up my phone and called him, yet the response was still the same.
As the minutes ticked by while I sat on the ground, I finally received a text from him, [Just take a taxi. An emergency came up, and I had to treat newly injured warriors from another rogue ambush.]
Deep down, I sensed it was a lie. But just before slipping into unconsciousness, I managed to mind-link a fellow servant for help.
