Azalea POV 

Rolling over, I pressed my face into the soft pillow. It felt like I had a hangover. My head was pounding, everything felt too bright, and my brain was sluggish as the events from earlier slowly returned to me.

My skin buzzed with an odd sensation that made my skin prickle with goosebumps. “My Queen, I feel you are awake,” a stranger’s voice said inside my head.

“Don’t be alarmed. My name is Cedric. I am part of the Landeena guard and I was your father’s Beta. I have been waiting for you to wake,” his calming voice says. How do I use the mind-link? I thought with a sigh while trying to work out how to use this newfound mind-link.

“You are using it, My Queen,” Cedric chuckles.

“You can hear me?”

“Yes, and know that your powers have awoken. You should be able to reach all of us, command all of us, and find all of us through this link. You’ll get the hang of it,”

“I remember hearing you even when I was passed out. You revoked your pledge to my mate,” I tell him. I remember the tingling sensation as their tethers linked to me.

“We were and always will belong to the Landeena Kingdom. Landeena is our home. You are home for your people, My Queen,” “And the guards, they all agree?” I asked him. Unsure about this new tether.

“Yes. All 71 of your guards will fight, kill and die for you,”

“I don’t want anyone to die for me,”

“But we will and you’ll understand soon enough. Your powers are awoken now, you just need to learn how to use them. So feel free to call on Trey or me, or any of us. We are your people, and you are ours. You have no idea how happy I am to hear the bloodline lives on, and what a bloodline. I can’t wait to see you at full strength. See what you can do,” I think over his words for a second when the door opens. Liam steps in.
