True Luna by Tessa Lilly

Chapter 223: Chapter 223 – Axel

Stella’s POV

Sophia? I tried mind-linking her even though I knew she blocked me and couldn’t hear me.

I was in complete darkness, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. I could feel Sophia’s light magic around me. It was keeping me warm and I wasn’t lonely. Her light magic was fueled by her love for her family and mate. It felt like they were around me. It felt like Axel was right next to me. I could feel his fur against mine. I could even feel Holden even though I never got a chance to see him. I could feel him next to me. I could feel their love all around me and even though I was trapped there, I wasn’t afraid. I had nothing to be afraid of as long as my family and my mate were around me.

I missed Sophia, though. I missed her so much. She was my best friend and my other half. I couldn’t let anything happen to her. I had to do whatever I could to help her. I wouldn’t be complete without her

Soph? I called her again, trying so hard to reach her.

The wall she put up was strong and nothing I did could break through it. It seemed like we never had a connection at all.

A disturbing thought came to me.

Was it possible for her to cut our connection completely? Was her magic so strong that she severed our connection forever?

Pain spread through my limbs, making me whine. I laid down and crumpled into a little bowl.

It wasn’t possible. Magic that strong didn’t exist. Only the Goddess could sever the connection between a wolf and his human.

It still didn’t comfort me. I was still in pain. I wanted to talk to someone. I needed to talk to someone.

I wanted to talk to my mate, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to make a connection with him. Our bond wasn’t completed and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach him.

I could talk to my brother. Not Alex, though. I didn’t want to worry him even more. I could tell how broken he was just learning about Sophia. I didn’t want to add to his pain.

I closed my eyes and focused on Sophia’s light magic. I searched through it until I found what I needed.

Axel? I called my brother, as I focused on Sophia’s love for him.
