She knew what she needed to do.
She opened her telepathy wide and focused on Alexis. Can you hear me? It’s Natalie. Remember me? I want to help.
Natalie heard a mental sob. Go away. You can’t help. Kryder has me. He’s used me, and I’m addicted to sapphire flame. Besides, I’ve spied on you. I’ve made your life a terror.
None of that matters. This is all on Kryder. Now, listen to me. I’ve seen your future and I know how to help you. I can get you away from him. More importantly, I want you to bring him to me.
I won’t do that, Natalie. He’ll kill you. He’s a madman.
Natalie heard the despair in her friend’s voice. I know he is, Alexis. Trust me.
Kryder wants to kill Grant, so he can retake the Meldorin Pack. Alexis sounded stronger. But he’s wanted you all these years. You’re the real goal. He knows he will be invincible if he can enslave you.
That’s not going to happen.
Oh, God, he’s coming. I can hear him.
You’re on the floor, right?
I am.
Stay there for now because here’s what I want you to do.
It took her less than twenty seconds to tell Alexis her plan and in the end Alexis agreed.
When she disconnected her telepathy, she flipped around on the bed to wake Grant up. But his eyes were open as he stared at her intently.
“You’re awake. Good.”
“How could I not be when you’d included me in the telepathic conversation.”
Natalie’s eyes widened. “I did?”
Grant shoved the covers back and headed to the shower. “I’ll make it quick. What do we have, ten minutes?”
“Thereabouts. I’m going to let Agnes know what’s going on.”
“She’s not going to like it.”
Natalie heard the shower running. She wasn’t put off, though. In fact, she smiled.
This time, when she opened her telepathy, she made sure she closed herself off to Grant. They were bonded now, and she suspected this wouldn’t be the first crossover of power she’d have to navigate.
Agnes responded quickly. How’s the cottage? I’ll bet that bed is too small.
Natalie couldn’t help but smile. The bed is perfect.
Spoken like a newlywed.
How did you know? I mean, we’re not married.
But you’re bonded. I felt the earth give a shudder not too long ago. Figured Grant had come to his senses about you.
Wait a minute. You felt our bonding?
Well, yes, but I’m exceptional.
Natalie chuckled. You are at least that. But I’ve contacted you to let you know to keep your guards away from the front of the compound for a few minutes. We’re setting a trap for Kryder.
