I know now that the reason why I can feel him the way that I do is because we are meant to be together, that he is my destiny. He is the strength to my weakness, my grounding, the reason to myconfusion. “Can you hear me?” I whisper in my mind wondering if this will work.

A few minutes later I hear his reply, “Hope?”

“Yes,”

“Why did you never speak to me like this before?” his voice a whisper in my mind.

“I didn’t know that I could,” I reply, the next hours are passed in silence. I don’t want to disturb his concentration as long as I know that they are safe I will keep silent. When dawn is just starting to show itself there is a knock at my bedroom door.

“Yes?”

“It’s us, can we come in?” Rea says as she opens the door to show Dream and Vain are with her.

“Of course,” I reply with a smile as I sit up against my pillows.

“Were you sleeping?” Dream asks with a raised brow.

“No, I haven’t been able to sleep,” I confess.

“Can you still sense him?” Vain asks as she comes to sit next to me, stretching her legs before her she leans back.

“I can speak to him in my mind,” I reveal seeing the look of surprise on the others faces.

“Really, I have to try that with Drez” Dream says with a frown.

“That’s great as he will be able to tell us exactly what we need to know instead of us trying to guess or sensing with our energy before doing anything,” Rea says as she takes a seat at the end of the bed crossing her legs as she faces Vain and me.

“Is he there yet?” Dream asks as she pulls the only chair in the room towards the bed to sit down.

“I will ask,” closing my eyes I concentrate on Trek’s energy feeling it like a life current within me. “Trek, are you there yet?” I wait, wondering if he will hear me this time or if the distance is too far for him to get anything.

I am about to open my eyes and tell them that I can’t hear him anymore when I hear his reply, “Yes, we are just waiting for them to wake up and start moving around.” Snapping my eyes open I smile relating the news to the others, I am about to ask the girls how they want to proceed with the magic that we have to do when I hear Trek in my mind.

“Hope, why are you upset with me?” his question surprises me at this moment as I wasn’t expecting him to ask me. Rea is talking which is interfering with my concentration I raise my hand for her to quieten as I close my eyes to give Trek my undivided attention.

“You could have told me that we were mates from the beginning, instead you have made me wonder if you liked me or not. Were you embarrassed to be my mate, or were you hoping that you were wrong and that I wasn’t,” there is silence for a long time before I hear his voice again in my mind.

“The only reason why I didn’t tell you is because I wanted you to be ready, I wanted you to want me as much as I want you, I wanted you to be happy with us and not confused.”

“Well, you have done a bad job of that haven’t you, I feel more confused than ever. If you wanted me so much you should have just told me instead of making me wait.” I open my eyes angry at our discussion to see my sisters looking at me with curious looks on their faces.

“What’s going on?” Vain asks.

“Nothing,” I snap in irritation not wanting to discuss my argument with them.

“Really, even telepathically you guys argue?” Dream quips with a chuckle.

“How do you want to proceed with what we need to do?” I ask ignoring Dream’s question which has her tutting at me in amusement.

“I think that you start by grounding your energy with Trek’s when he tells you that he is in place, and then you can siphon from us as you start to collapse the tunnels” Rea suggests with a shrug.

“Maybe you can use him as a conductor, pushing the energy through him to the ground” Vain says distractedly as she examines her nails.

“Won’t the energy be too strong for him?” I ask not wanting to hurt Trek in anyway.

“It might be, but how else are we going to target the exact location unless we have something siphoning our energy towards it.” Rea says as she places her hand over mine, “he will be fine as the energy will be coursing through him and not into him.”

“Trek!” I call.
