What was I doing?

I had initiated a mind link with Alpha Henry. I had been about to ask for his help.

No. Absolutely not.

“That’s enough!” Ella’s voice snapped inside me, pacing furiously. “He’s our mate! So what if something happens–he’s meant to be with us!”

That fear–that truth–was more terrifying than the heat of my own body.

I severed the mind link immediately.

I bit down hard on my lip and pinched my thigh until the pain jolted me, then forced myself forward, stumbling toward the woods.
