“If we stay and get closer we will get stronger. We are able to handle him sleeping with others, the pain will lessen over time and at the same time we will physically get stronger. We will not have to worry about the bond pulling us back because we will be here and we will not have to worry about him marking another, which will also be equivalent to him rejecting us.” She explains.
“I guess that is the only plan we have that makes sense at the moment.” I say back, sighing.
I get out of the shower, get dressed, and sit on the couch next to the phone. It is 8 am, so that means Laura is up and in her office. I pick up the phone and dial her number.
“Luna Laura speaking.” She says in her professional voice that also sounds like a sweet motherly voice.
“Hey Laur. It’s me.” I say back.
“Ace! OMG I thought you forgot about all of us. Nobody has heard from you. What’s going on? Is everything okay? Have you figured out a plan yet?” So many questions.
“Everything is fine. I have just been getting used to the layout of the place. I only just got a phone today.” I tell her.
“I told you that you needed to get a cell phone. But do you ever listen? NO. You don’t.” She says.
“Cell phones are trackers. They are..” Before I can finish she interrupts me.
“The easiest way for an enemy to find our locations. Yes I know we have had this conversation before. Are you going to answer any of my questions or are you going to just avoid them?” She asks and I roll my eyes.
“I HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO ANSWER THEM. I playfully yell at her.”
“Jeesh calm down grumpy.” She jokes.
I roll my eyes and smile. I miss her nagging. “I don’t.” Fen counters. “Yes you do Fen.” I say back.
“To answer your questions though.. Nothing important has happened. Everything is just peachy. And I have a not so solid plan that is the only plan that makes sense.” I say.
“And?” She asks, trying to hide the skepticism through the phone.
“Well, um, Fen and I talked and we are going to stay here and play it by ear. We can’t have him rejecting us because the bond is too strong, and we also can’t have him mark another because of it too. So we will stay here and figure it out.” Just as I finish the sentence I hear a knock at the door.
“Ace that is ludicrous. Do I even have to tell you how.. “I interrupt her before she can continue.
“I’ve got to go, Laur. I will call you later. Bye.” I hang up before she can say anything else.
I go to answer the door and see Beta Markus standing there with his hands in his pockets rocking back and forth.
“Yes Beta?” I ask giving him a questioning look. He is nervous and I don’t like it.
“King Alarick asked me to get you. Do you need a few minutes or are you ready?”
“I just need to put my shoes on. You can come in while I get them if you’d like.”
I go to the side of the door and get my boots as he walks in. I go back to the couch and sit to start putting on my boots.
“Why is it that everytime I am near you, you seem so anxious?” I ask him.
“I dont know what you are talking about.” He says back.
“Well unless my gift is playing tricks on me every time you are around, you are always anxious.” I say matter of factly.
He sighs and runs his finger through his hair. “It is because you are unpredictable. One minute you may have a smile on your face, but the next you are giving off a vibe that says you will kill me. It is very confusing and gives me much anxiety.” He says.
“No need to fret Beta.” I say with a smile. “If I wanted you dead, you would be dead.” I say then stand up.
“See that. What the hell was that? Was it a threat or supposed to be a reassuring thing because I don’t know.” He says.
“However you wish to take it Beta. When I say certain things it is to gauge a reaction and see what the people feel. You have some fear but mostly relief. SO I would say that you do know how to take my statement. Are you ready to go?” I say and start walking out the door.
“He is an idiot.” Fen grumbles. “Why are you nice to him?” She asks.
“Because he has done nothing to deserve us being anything but nice.” I answer.
