The Chef's Sick Mate (Book 17 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 55

Ana wrapped an arm around Gen as soon as she came into the apartment. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know," Gen admitted. "I tried mind linking you and Aidan but I don't know if I was doing it right."

"We were asleep," Ana said.

"I couldn't think of anyone else except him," she mumbled.

"We were still awake," Xavier told her. "I woke up Aidan."

"If I'm wrong, I'll have woken you up for no reason," she breathed.

"Tell us everything, Gen," Aidan told her.

"I fell asleep waiting for Linc and I dreamed about him. He told me he needed my help. He said he couldn't come home and to contact Aidan. He said he needed me to come find him. I woke up and he still wasn't here. I tried calling him and there's no answer. I don't know if I should be worried, or if I should trust that dream or what." She crossed her arms, suddenly feeling stupid for getting them up over a dream, but where was Linc? She was growing worried about him. 

"I think we should call Ragnar," Aidan muttered.

"Agreed. Probably Caleb and alert Malachi," Xavier suggested.

"You think something is wrong?" Gen asked.

"Yes," they both said at the same time.

"If he's telling you something is wrong in your dreams, then yeah, something is wrong," Aidan told her.

She breathed a small sigh. "Okay." She was glad she hadn't been wrong, but now she was worried about him.

Xavier stood up and began to make phone calls over the next several moments, waking people up. Aidan did as well. Gen watched them both as Ana sat next to her on the couch, an arm around her little sister. 

Finally Xavier turned back to them. "We're going downstairs to coordinate in the meeting room."

Gen grabbed her keys, and they all left and headed downstairs. They walked inside the large room, and Gen was surprised at how many people were in it. The only one she recognized was Malachi, the Alpha.

A man with black hair and blue eyes approached them, his eyes on Gen. A blond woman was with him, and they were holding hands. 

"Gen this is Dane and Lexi, Linc's parents," Aidan told her.

"Hi Gen. Linc's told us a bit about you. It's nice to meet you," Lexi said, stepping forward.

"Nice to meet you," Gen said softly as she stared at them both.

A blond man also approached, and Gen looked him over. He also had blond hair and blue eyes.

"Gen this is Ragnar, Linc's great, great grandfather," Dane told her.

"Nice to meet you. Linc told me about you," she said softly. This was the guy Linc had told her had been a viking. She could see it too, even though he looked her own age.

He smiled warmly at her. "Welcome to the family, Gen. We'll find Lincoln."

"Thank you," she said softly.

They held a quick meeting, Xavier telling them everything that Gen had told him. She still had no idea who everyone was, but Linc's mom sat on one side of her while Ana sat on the other through the meeting, offering support. 

Ragnar stood first and turned to Gen. "We're going out to his work to sniff around. Do you want to come, Gen?"

"Please."

Ragnar nodded. "Let's go."

Gen followed them out to an SUV and got in. She was squeezed between Aidan and a guy she didn't know.
