CHAPTER 23
Reese
âWell this is creepy,â Emma muttered as we made our way toward the mouth of the cave.
We left Jessuâs village after our talk and the sun was still low in the sky. It was directly overhead now, having taken up precedence in the sky while we worked our way through the mountains. I glared up at the orb as the heat of the day caused sweat to trail down my back.
If the Sun Goddess could, sheâd take her gift from the world and leave us in darkness. That would kill off her precious humans, though, so it wasnât something she was willing to try. None of us knew why she hated shifters so much.
âYeah, it is,â I agreed, as I stared at the opening of the cave. Moss and climbing vines crawled over the stone face. It shouldâve been just a regular cave. It didnât look like much else. But it was surrounded by sheer walls of rock on either side, making the path Jessu led us down the only way of getting back. Something made me uneasy about the area. Something other than the fact that we were in the perfect spot for an ambush, but I couldnât put my finger on what it was.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I realized that the soft chirping of birds that accompanied us up here had stopped. The light breeze making its way through the area was the only sound as it ruffled leaves on the dirt. There were stubborn trees that had managed to take root in cracks and crevices and grow upward along the cliffs, despite being surrounded in stone.
âIâll go in and speak with her first,â Jessu told us. âWait hereâ¦sheâs a bitâ¦particular.â
âWhat does that mean?â Griff asked, but Jessu had already walked into the cave. Reign sat his shaggy butt on dirt and yawned. He and his brother opted to take this trip in wolf form.
âWhy is it so quiet?â I asked, looking over at Soren. His gray eyes landed on me and a flush heated my skin. Memories of the early morning hours, and what weâd done during them, flooded my mind. Placing my hands on my neck, I brushed my fingers over the three bites that had already scabbed over. Theyâd claimed me, and now I belonged to them. A pulse pounded in my pussy as I touched the spots my mates had marked. I pushed all thoughts of them aside, and dropped my hands, so I could focus.
Atlasâs steady gaze met mine and the corners of his lips lifted. The mind link. Oh God. Had they heard my thoughts?
Loud and clear, Little One.
My eyes flashed over to Atlas and I found him and Calder watching me with hungry gazes. My cheeks burned as I broke eye contact. I wasnât used to having the ability to speak within othersâ minds. It was going to take some getting used to, and I needed to learn to block the thoughts I wanted to, while projecting others.
