"But, how is this possible?" she asks, repeating her former question.

"Honestly, I don't know. I am not even sure if this is real, or I am still asleep," I reply, getting off the bed and standing up. Running my hand through my hair, I start pacing. It seems I've been doing a lot of that lately.

"It's not a dream. It's real," Martha pauses before continuing. "Did something happen before? What were you doing or thinking right before it happened?"

I take a deep breath and calming breath. Closing my eyes for a bit, I open them before answering.

"I still felt tired and didn't really feel like doing anything. I wanted to know where Aspen was, but I didn't want to leave the room, so I just thought of how easy it would be if I could communicate with you through mind-link like I always do with wolves. Minutes later, you called my name."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Interesting," she murmurs, her voice low and full of curiosity. "I've never heard of werewolves and witches communicating telepathically. Even among witches, it's not possible."

I stop pacing and look at feet. My toes and pink-colored nails stared back at me. I've never been a girly girl, but I've made some efforts these past few years. Thank the goddess for gel nail polish; otherwise, my polish would have been chipping off by now.

Maybe what I need is a relaxing break. One where I don't have to think about anything, even if it's for a couple of hours.

"Sadie?"

"Sorry, my mind wandered off for a while there," I tell her softly, getting my mind to focus on the present.

"Have you told Raven about it?"

I laugh a little. "I've just discovered it, Martha. I haven't really even had the time to think about it, let alone discuss it with Raven."

We are both quiet for a while.

"Don't tell anyone for now. I'll reveal this to Raven, but for now no one should know about this. Not until we get more information." I command, breaking the silence.

"I won't utter a single word."

With that, assuming this works the same as the one between wolves, I cut off mind-link.

"I see you have discovered one of our many powers." I jump in surprise, my heart racing at Nyx's unexpected voice.

I press down a hand on my chest, trying to ease my racing heart. "Nyx, you sacred me."

"It's not my fault you are lost in thought," her bright eyes stare at me calmly as if we didn't have a fight a few hours ago.

After my heart rate goes back to normal, I speak. "You mentioned something about new powers?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you to

Cover it. For us, mind-link is

to just wolves. You

to anyone, even humans.".

My mouth drops open. "You are serious?"

"Yes"

"How is that even possible?"

Her eyes narrow at me suspiciously. It's not that I was trying to fish for information. I am just curious about how this works.

"It just is," comes her vague answer.

I roll my eyes, not surprised by her lack of answers. I have to get used to the fact that Nyx won't tell me anything about what is going on until the time is right. Or untiDshe thinks I am ready.

I can't really control what's going to happen, but I can control what is happening now. I can choose to focus on what is going on now.

"Fine," I grumble, yielding to her.

"You can try it with others. We do

have some of the vampires from pack, she tells me before she slinks. off and cuts off our communication.

I am not in a hurry, so I decide to put it off for now.
