Chapter 88 : A Hidden Path

My heart pattered in my chest, skipping like a happy child. Warmth swept through me as my declaration of love slipped through the mind link.

I hadn’t realized it was true until the words came out but I knew now that it was.

Grinning like a fool, I imagined the look on Mila’s face when hearing my confession and my heart raced even faster. I was like a teenage boy confessing love to a girl for the first time. One so far out of my league that I could only hope for her to return my feelings.

The only difference, in this case, was that I was fairly certain Mila did return my feelings. She wouldn’t have been so pissed at me about the picture if she didn’t.

As I waited for her to reply, my heart raced and my palms were clammy, just like a nervous little pup.

She never responded.

“Mila?”

My mind raced suddenly. Had I been too presumptive in thinking that she had real feelings for me? Had I been too quick to tell her how I felt given that she was angry at me? I hadn’t really meant to tell her, the words just slipped out.

But was Mila ready?

She was so quiet and I worried that I’d scared her off again.

What was she thinking? I wished I could read her mind but the mindlink didn’t work that way.

“Mila, is everything okay?” I asked, gently prodding her.

There was nothing on the other end. Not even static. Our mindlink had been severed. It was impossible for me to determine if that was because she’d shut it down or if something had happened to her that made her unable to respond.

Whatever the reason, I wasn’t going to stop until she was safely in my arms. Then I could tell her with my own words how I felt and I could see the adorable, shy yet hopeful look on her face.

I took another deep, calming breath, keeping myself under control.

As much as I wanted to rush off and tear everyone’s heads off, I was still hesitant. Chandler was working a plan here.

He’d referred to all the other shifters as “pests.” Mila had told me that. And he was planning on doing it in person. I had a feeling he would be showing himself soon and the temple was his arena for the showdown.

Since he’d just been in the tomb with Mila, that meant the tomb had to be near the temple. It made perfect sense because Chandler loved her deeply, even though she’d been dead for years. He’d want her somewhere sacred, to be protected spiritually.

He would want her soul wrapped in the Moon Goddess’s arms. What better place for that than under the Moon Goddess Temple?

It was the holiest place to lay someone to rest. He could keep her body preserved, protected, and surrounded by the Moon Goddess’s love and energy. And no one would disturb her there.

“Soren, have you figured out what you need?” Payne asked, cutting into my thoughts.

“We should get to the temple.”

We started heading up the hill again when the sounds of a commotion broke out.

“What’s going on now?” Thomas grumbled.

“Tell the others to hang back. I don’t want them to get involved until we know what we’re dealing with!”
