Dominic, I’m scared. I confess, speaking through our bond. It hadn’t been easy to convince him to let me join the press conference, since I’m technically still supposed to be on bed rest. My blood pressure was still too high when we checked it this afternoon, but it remains to be seen whether that’s because of my condition or the stress of the pack finding out about our lies.

I want him to feel the sheer force of my appreciation for him, and he doesn’t leave me hanging. I feel it, trouble. Don’t worry.
