Vex: I didn’t do it on purpose. They’re celebrities. You didn’t say this couldn’t be public.
I waited, but no more texts came from her.
With difficulty, I forced myself to forward it on. If he replied again, I could delay before sending it.
Only, his reply came in moments, and… shit.
It wasn’t one I could withhold.
Pack Lead: I’ve had enough. I want to see you.
I had to send it, but it had never been this hard before.
My pulse was unusually elevated as I stared at the phone. Mechanically, I forwarded the text, knowing she was in the next room, receiving it.
She would be afraid. I didn’t want to give her that fear.
I felt it from her the moment she read it.
The bite.
The damned bite she’d given me… I couldn’t let it sabotage this. Ineededthis proxy to continue.
Vex: You said you wouldn’t until my heat.
Pack Lead: I told you I wouldn’t interfere. Now you’ve insulted me and pushed that generosity.
Pack Lead: Tell Drake he’s going to drop you off for a meeting with us and that he better come alone or all bets are off.
There was a long, long pause.
Pack Lead: I’m not going to let it go, you little rat.
When the silence continued, I crossed to the bathroom.
She was still in there, afraid.
Before I could act, I received another from her. One that made me freeze. That made it almost impossible to keep sending them.
Her: I’ll ask Ebony.
Me?
I stared at it, and my fingers shook in a way I wasn’t used to as I pressed send..
Pack Lead: You’ll do what your fucking told.
Her: It’s Ebony, or I won’t come.
She was so strong. I could hear her on the other side of the door. Her breathing was short and sharp. She was in pain, fighting his orders.
I could feel the echo of her through this connection; she was no longer a bright light, instead she was a void of fear. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to shut this new connection down.
It was almost impossible.
My mate was in pain and I couldn’t do anything about it.
Vex: Let me.
