Trinity of Power novel Chapter 5

This is maddening. I mean, I'm relieved to know that he’s safe. Like, you can’t even imagine how relieved I am, but having no idea where he is. It’s killing me. I know that Charlie feels the same way, based on the way that she’s clutching me to her.

I’ve texted the Alpha Council in our group chat to let them know what’s going on and have been giving them continuous updates throughout.

I do feel a little bad for the evil trio. Brandon really sucks in the kitchen. Guy could burn water.

But I’d happily eat only his charcoal burgers and incinerated asparagus for the rest of my life if that meant that we could have him back. Goddess, I needed to have him here right now.

Keep it together, Z. I’ll be back soon. Brandon’s voice fills my mind through the link.

I’ve got him, Big Bad. Just get them talking. Charlie links. Charlie pulls me into her arms, holding me to her much smaller frame. I bury my face in her hair, letting her scent wash over me and calm me. Christy stirs in her bassinet, but stays asleep and I hear a low snore from Jerry.

A tear rolls down my cheek as I feel the loss of Brandon even more keenly right now. This isn’t right or fair that our mate is missing this time with his new family. I can’t wait to rip CCS apart.

Through the link, we hear Severn and Casen directing Brandon on what to do. He’s in the middle of washing and breaking apart some lettuce when they start their story.

“How much do you know about us?” Severn asks.

“The Goddess filled us in,” Brandon mutters, his words punctuated by the breaking of the leaves.

Both of the males stop what they are doing. “What do you mean, the Goddess filled you in?” Casen asks slowly.

Do I tell them? He asks us in the mindlink.

It’s a good question. Do we let them know that the Goddess is on our side? Or do we let him think that Meredith is just a really good conduit?

I loop Meredith into our link quickly. Meredith, do we tell CCS how involved the Goddess is in our lives?

She’s silent for a second and I can tell that she is communing with our deity. No, just hold off. We need to see if we can trust them. Bring them back into the fold. We need to try to do that without using the Mother as a punishment. They need to come back on their own. Explain about me.

Alright, Brandon links before turning back to his conversation with the two males he’s in the room with. I take Meredith out of our link, texting her our thanks. The less people that Brandon has in his head, the more he’ll be able to focus on what is happening in the room with him.

“One of the trios consists of the alpha, luna, and beta of the Diana Pack. The luna, Meredith, is an oracle. Her augmented gift is an almost direct line to the Goddess. She can ask for guidance and the Goddess responds. Gives her a lot of background info, too. We know all about what happened with your pack and that you’ve been turned away from every pack that you tried to be a part of.”
