Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 4

Miriam

Miriam leaves the bedroom that she had shown Skye to. She walks back to where she last saw her daughter. "Mom!" Asher exclaims, "What'd you do to that wolf?"

"She's in one of the guest bedrooms, sleeping."

"Mom, she's a wolf, not a guest."

"She's a hybrid. Her wolf side is the weaker of the two. From what I can tell, she didn't even realize she crossed over to our territory."

"And you don't think she was lying?"

"No, she seemed very distraught."

' "Does she know that vampires don't sleep?"

"I'm not sure. She seemed exhausted though, so I thought it'd be best to let her rest before returning her back home."

Sebastian

As the sky becomes darker, Alice urges Sebastian to search for Skye. Eventually, he reluctantly decides to go and look for Skye. He informs Alice where he's going and asks her to please watch the children. Afterwards, he runs outside and shifts into his wolf form.

"Must find mate," Kai thinks, "Where is mate?"

It takes a while for Sebastian to finally pick up Skye's scent. It leads all the way into vampire territory. He shifts back into his human form. "Must get mate!" his wolf yells, "Must protect mate!"

"Kai, we can't go into vampire territory! We'll start a war!"

"Mate, isn't safe with vampires!"

"I know that, but we can't just barge into their territory. That would get us both killed!"

"Must mindlink mate!"

Skye

Skye wakes up a few hours later with a terrible headache. "Winter?" she asks her wolf. "What's going on? Why does my head hurt so much?"

"Mate, is trying to mindlink us," Winter answers, "mate is worried about us."

"Could you stop the pounding in my head? I'll send him a message using magic."

"I'll try."

Skye stands up and writes a short letter on a napkin.

Alpha Sebastian,

I'm safe. I accidentally entered vampire territory. I spoke with the vampire queen. She was very understanding. Please stop trying to mindlink me. It hurts my head a lot to minklink with anybody.

Skye

She folds the napkin and summons her phoenix, Ash. "Ash, please take this to Sebastian," she instructs the bird. Ash nods and flies out the window, disappearing into the night.

Sebastian

Sebastian paces around for a while, trying to mindlink his mate. Suddenly a phoenix comes out of nowhere and lands closeby. It drops a folded napkin next to him. He eyes the napkin suspiciously, before bending down and unfolding it. On the napkin is a short letter from his mate.

Alpha Sebastian,

I'm safe. I accidentally entered vampire territory. I spoke with the vampire queen. She was very understanding. Please stop trying to mindlink me. It hurts my head a lot to minklink with anybody.

Skye

Sebastian lets out a sigh of relief. "She's safe, Kai. Stop mindlinking her. She'll come back when she's ready."
