Chapter 11

A Vision of Her

THORIN

Catalina had been right. The minute my hand came into contact with Nika’s, the buzz of our bond snapped into place, and I could feel my mate’s energy hum around me. It was almost as if there was a line of energy that connected us even when we were not close enough to touch.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Nika as we made our preparations to leave the area. She was beautiful and strong. After spending mere moments in her presence, I knew two things. As much as I adored Catalina, she would have never measured up. She would have been one of the many she-wolves cowering in the back of the female group if she had found herself tossed on Mirage Island. For the first time, since I decided to take her as a chosen mate all those years ago, I realized just how closely I had come to dooming my own pack.

My pack mates had also quietly observed their future Luna as she moved amongst the females who had been living on Mirage Island. She exhibited the hallmarks of a true leader as she organized the women who refused to leave with us.

“She is magnificent,” Landon remarked as he watched my future mate take charge of stocking all the hideouts the women had to utilize.

“Don’t forget that those stores of food need to be rotated every two weeks, so you don’t get stuck hiding out with rotten food,” Nika called to one of the girls.

“You pointed it out when we first got here, but it is startling to realize what is missing from this island.” Landon’s statement took my attention away from my mate’s preparations. I turned my full attention to the highest-ranking beta warrior I brought with me.

“Tell me.”

Landon glanced around again. “All these women are talking about hideouts around the island, and we saw how small those spaces are for ourselves.”

“Yes,” I agreed as I grew impatient waiting on him to get to the point.

“Where do they stay when there is no threat?”

“What do you mean?” I asked as my attention shifted to our surroundings. The answer clicked just before Landon spoke it.

“The lack of houses.” We both said it as one. “I had hoped when we got to the island we would at least see some decently built make-shift shelters, but there are none of those.”

The young girl, who seemed to cling to my mate, passed by at that moment and I reached out to stop her from moving past us. The minute my hand brushed her arm, the girl flinched back as if she had been burned.

“I mean you no harm and have but a simple question for you.”

“Okay,” she hummed the word out nervously.

“Where did all of you live?”

“Here on the island.” The girl gave me an odd look like I wasn’t all there in the head. Part of me wanted to chuckle at the misunderstanding, but considering the topic at hand, I didn’t think that would go over very well.
