The Alpha Bond 141

The moment the car screeched to a stop, my stomach lurched.

Before my mates could say anything, I threw the door open and stumbled out onto the sidewalk, barely making it before I vomited onto the pavement.

The world around me spun, the ground tilting beneath my feet. I gripped my knees, trying to steady my breath.

Behind me, my mates weren't doing much better.

Austin staggered out, one hand braced against the car as he groaned. "Never again."

Isaiah wobbled, blinking rapidly. "That was... awesome."

Alex simply slumped against the hood of the car, rubbing his temples. "I think my soul just got left behind somewhere over the

Atlantic."

Elijah was the only one who managed to stay somewhat composed, though even he looked like he was still reeling from the journey. He walked over to me, concern flashing in his eyes.

"Stormi," he said, crouching next to me. "Are you okay?"

I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and shot him a look.

"No," I muttered. "I feel like my insides got scrambled."

Elijah let out a breath, then gently placed a hand on my back, rubbing slow circles.

"We should sit for a bit," Isaiah suggested. "Let the world stop spinning before we move."

So we did.

For a while, we simply sat on the sidewalk, waiting for the dizziness to fade. When I finally lifted my head and took in my surroundings, I realized something.

We had no idea where we were.

The streets were narrow and paved with old cobblestones, lit by the soft glow of antique street lamps. The buildings lining the streets were a mix of modern and historical architecture, giving the entire place a timeless feel.

The air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of freshly baked bread and something sweet. In the distance, I could hear the hum of people chatting and the clinking of dishes from nearby restaurants

Austin, who had been slumped against the car, suddenly perked up. He dug into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

Right.

Cell phones.

I had forgotten those things existed.

Ever since we entered the Uncharted Realm, technology had been useless. No

cell towers. No satellites. No service. But now...
