"It will but before we can begin worrying about that, we need to figure out what exactly what we're going to do," I mumbled, lost in thought.
I had an idea, a possible plan but I didn't want to say it until we were reunited with my friends. Speaking of which, I needed to let them know we were coming.
I closed my eyes and drowned out the outside sounds.
I searched my mind for familiar voices tethered to my mind and to each others'. The longer I focused, the louder and clearer their thoughts became.
"Guys can you hear me? It's Artemis,' There was only an answering silence for a moment before I felt my mind being bombarded with several excited and anxious thoughts.
"Artemis we hadn't heard from you in so long,"
"Where are you? You feel closer,"
"Are you hurt? Did they do anything to you?"
"My brother said you helped them,"
"How are you communicating from so far?"
I hissed slightly af the dull throbbing sensation in the forefront of my brain but pushed it down as I silenced them to speak.
"I'm alright, I apologise if I worried any of you. At the moment I'm travelling with two family members and we're headed your way in a truck. I'll answer any questions when we get there,' I answered.
I watched through Celia's eyes all the members. They were in a makeshift camp in the forest, several unfamiliar people scattered with them. I smiled to myself as I watched them interact.
"I'll see you guys soon,' And with that I cut off the mindlink, snapping back to reality.
"Are you okay?" I turned to my left to see my uncle giving me a concerned look. I blinked and nodded silently, the dull headache still present.
"Your eyes were blank and distant, you weren't responding. Are you sick? Should we stop?" He fired.
"I'm fine," I chuckled softly. "Just mind linking the rogues I set free to tell them we'll be arriving soon,"
"Mind linking? Rogues?" He looked skeptical.
"Yeah. I made a blood covenant with them so we're all connected," I shrugged, remembering the time when I had used the dagger to slice all our palms and mix our blood before we escaped.
"Why?" He asked. I furrowed my brows, looking back at the time. "I just thought it'd make communicating easier. I mean we could still mind link without the covenant but it would make it easier," I explained.
"You could communicate without the covenant? What do you mean?"
Not this again. I didn't understand what was so hard to understand about mindlinking.
"You know, mind link. Share out thoughts and memories mentally. Like all wolves do," He gave me a perplexed look, eyeing me strangely.
"Mija, normal wolves can only communicate with pack members. New members have to be sworn in to be able to mind link and even then its weak," he explained.
Reuniting with everyone was a surreal experience. We were still in our wolf forms when I was attacked by them and licked all over, yelps and whimpers escaping them to express their joy. I joined them too, eagerly pouncing on them and letting out my own whimpers.
Conan's grey wolf was on me immediately, rubbing his head against mine.
The dark brown wolves behind me lingered a little back and I noticed how some of the wolves eyed them warily. Santiago's sandy wolf approached Romeo's darker one slowly, sniffing him and Romeo sniffed him back. They circled each other for a moment, their tails wagging.
"Guys, lets all shift to make this easier,' I suggested. Celia and Lucy left, disappearing into the caves before coming back out in their human forms carrying clothes.
They handed out sweatpants and shorts to the males and oversized tops and dresses to the females. We all shifted and slipped on our clothing, mine being a long and worn band t shirt.
I was quickly engulfed in a hug from Conan, his long arms wrapping around my body and pulling me into his bare chest.
"I thought something bad had happened to you," he murmured into my hair.
"I'm fine Conan," I assured, pulling back to introduce everyone properly.
"Everyone, this is my uncle Diego and my cousin Romeo. We escaped the pack together and they'll be living with us," My uncle gave a smile back but Romeo was staring at Santiago.
"Santiago? Santiago Lopez?" Romeo asked, stepping forward.
"Romeo, you fat shit, look at you," Santiago greeted. The otherwise quiet males both embraced each other in a tight hug, patting each other's backs loudly. They pulled apart and my cousin looked at me, a wide smile on his lips.
