Chapter Fourteen

Meela

I open my eyes. Firelight flickers across the walls. Where am I? I blink. Stars above me shine through a glass ceiling. I turn my head to the right, and asleep in a chair beside my bed is Taraz. I press myself up onto my elbows. Heat shoots through my left leg—not pain but heat. Memories of a battle at the hunting lodge swim to the surface of my mind. Then a great black wolf upon which I rode and then I was here…at the home of the wolf—Wolveskin! Wolveskin are real! Memories flood my mind and everything that happened before I fell unconscious floods in.

“You’re awake,” Taraz says. A tired smile crosses his face.

“I am,” I whisper. Fatigue weighs heavy upon me, but with my words, a burden lifts from Taraz’s eyes. “How long have I been asleep?”

“Too long.” A wain smile crosses his face.

“Sarkany!” I gasp. My mind zips to my link with Sarkany and there is no response. Sarkany, I think, my mind desperate to link with his. Fear pummels through my body as more memories from that night rise from the mists in my mind. Sarkany? I reach out my mind trying to find a mind-link to my fated-mate. Sarkany! I call through my mind. I squeeze my eyes closed and concentrate even harder, and yet all that returns to me from the mindscape is silence.

I open my eyes and hot tears prick my eyes.

Taraz’s face greets me with as much sadness as my own. “I have not heard from either of them since the attack.”

“Are they…are they…” I can’t bring myself to say the word. No, not my fated-mate, not when I’ve just found him.

“I don’t know,” Taraz says softly, choosing his words carefully. “I’ve never gone this long without communicating by mind with Sarkany and Leo, but while I can’t reach them with my mind, I don’t feel the same coldness in our mind-link that I did when Mother and Fathers were killed.”

“You were with me,” I whisper as my gaze lands on Taraz. “You saved me from dying. You’ve been by my side this entire time,” I say.

He nods. You are mine to protect now.

We are linked? Without Sarkany? Surprise floods through me because my links with Taraz and Leo have required tendrils from their minds to mine or the link was dependent on my link with Sarkany.

Perhaps it was the Medaris, Taraz thinks.

Warmth fills my body. I close my eyes and the memory of spinning in warm golden light fills my body. A longing comes over me to experience the complete warmth and joy of the light again.

“I did everything that I could,” Taraz says, “but I think your inner strength is what brought you back to us. You’re very powerful. More powerful than you might know.”

A wave of fatigue sweeps through me with his words. I don’t feel powerful. I’m worn out and tired. I press my hand to my forehead. “I feel as though I’ve been spinning round and round.
