We stop for lunch, and | take the opportunity to pull my mate into myp. | haven’t had time to really spend with hertely with
everything going on in our pack, but while we are here, I’m going to take full advantage.
“Really, Eli?” She asks, giving me an exasperated look. | just smile, kiss her nose and pull her te over so she can eat while
sitting in myp.
Angel snickers from her position in Liam’sp. “Told you you’re butt would never sit in a seat.” Liam whispers something in her
ear that | choose not to hear, but no one can ignore the astonishing shade of pink Angel’s cheeks get or the smug smirk on
Liam’s face.
After lunch, Ailduin wants to test our ability to mind link. He says we both should have the ability to mind link farther than is
normal. He has us walk back outside, not that it’s necessary, but it’s where we’ve been ‘training’ with our Guardian gifts.
He starts with Grace. “I would like you to try to contact someone in your pack. Think of a person that you are close with and
reach out like you normally would.”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
When she does, she says she can’t hear anyone.
“Let Maia put her Guardian strength behind it.” Ailduin says. “Like she said she did with your Alpha aura, let her strength push
your mind link.”
Grace closes her eyes and | can see her concentration. She stands there for a minute before she gasps and her eyes fly open.
“They''re havingsagna for dinner tonight.” She turns to me. “I could hear Cammy and she could hear me.”
“That’s amazing!” | look at Ailduin.
“Excellent. Now, Eli, you try.”
“But, | don’t have a Guardian spirit to push behind my mind link.”
“No, but Louis should be able to give you his strength. You need to be able to tap into the gifts that you have been given through
the mate bond.” He tells me.
‘Louis? What do you think?”
‘We can try. I’m not sure what strength | can give you, but I’ll push what | have toward your mind link. Let’s try to speak to Carlos
first and if that doesn’t work, try Noah.”
| close my eyes, like Grace did and focus my thoughts on Carlos. | begin to feel a
whisper of his mind before it shuts off.
‘Let''s try Noah.‘
| push my mind out, this time looking for Noal. His mind is easier to find, probably because he has a wolf. When | find him, his
response is startled. “Alpha, are you back?”
“No, we''re practicing long-distance mind linking. We''re still in Canyon Ridge.”
“You''re still....whoa, that’s impressive.”
“Anything | need to know?”
“Sirona got a shipment of medical supplies.”
| chuckle through the link. “Don’t be surprised if | reach out again. Not sure what else this Fae King wants us to do. By the way, |
could almost reach Carlos, but not quite. Is he near you?”
“No, Alpha. He’s actually out running patrols.”
“Thanks Noah.” | say before disengaging and looking at Grace. “Sirona got a shipment of medical supplies.” | tell her smiling.
“So, it worked?” Ailduin asks.
“Yes and no. | tried mind linking Carlos first. He has no wolf, but he can still mind link. Noah said he’s out running patrols and |
could just feel his mind but couldn’t connect.”
“Good, then that will be our next test. Grace, | want you to try to reach out to Carlos.”
She does and is able to reach him, fairly easily. “He’s running patrols.” She says, confirming what Noah told me.
Okay, now, | want you to hold hands. Grace, | want Maia to push her strength toward Louis. Eli, | want you to try to reach
Carlos.” Ailduin instructs us.
| take Grace’s hand and | focus on my mind link, while Louis focuses on Maia. We try several times, before | break into a sweat
and start to get a headache before
we stop.
“It may not be possible, but | wanted to try it. | know you can boost each other’s Guardian gifts, but we haven''t tried boosting
your mates’ gifts.” Ailduin says.
“| think that’s enough for today. Tomorrow, I''d like to work on boosting the Guardians’ gifts before we leave. Aolis and | will spend
the rest of the evening documenting our findings today.” He says before taking Aolis and walking back
inside.
