Chapter 15
(1sla)
Hello, Isla.
“Hi I say out loud. The voice in my head laughs.
You can speak to me in your mind
Oh hi, can you hear me?
Loud and clear. My name is Adrastea, if you haven't figured it out yet I'm your wolf.
My name is Isla, but I guess you already knew that.
Ves. I have been with you these past 18 years but have just awoken. I feel what you feel and I can see all of your memorie Even my memories as a child? I have no recollection of anything before arriving in the packhouse and even then it's blurr for a while.
Yes, I can access them.
I get really excited, finally going to get the answers I've always been curious about. I wait patiently until she returns. I wasn't sure if return is the right thing as she probably doesn't go anywhere.
oh um, so 1 don't have any memories from you earlier than four years old.
Oh, 1 was young, and Abigail thinks it might be trauma. You know who Abigail is right?
Ves, she's incredible. I should still be able to see all of your memories though, even if you were suppressing them. I'll wor on it.
(lL see if Abigail has any insight. So, how does this work? Do I always have access to you to talk to you whenever I want? ves, I'll be here for you always now. When we shift we will be even more connected.
Ah shifting, I almost forgot about that. ~ Will it hurt really bad?
I'm not sure, I've never experienced it before either. But I will be with you the entire time.
Would you mind if we held off just for a little before we shift?
Whatever is most comfortable with you, take all the time you need.
I smile - 1 really like you.
She laughs again - the feeling is mutual
just then Abigail walks in squeals grabbing my elbows cutting off my conversation with my wolf abruptly, “You have your wolf!” she exclaims
“Yes, she just spoke to me for the first time. How did you know?”
“Your eyes cloud over like when you're mindlinking someone when you talk to your wolf.”
Mindlinking! I almost forgot. I wondered if 1 could do it with members of this pack, but then I remembered I wasn't technically a member, not in the way that the ranked members could command me, so I shouldn't be able to mind link them either.
There's no harm in trying.
Hey, Adrastea?
ves, babygirl
I jumped, still not used to having a talking voice inside my head
Babygirl?
It's something I'm trying out
Not too sure about that one - I laugh - So how do we mind link someone?
Clear your mind. Focus on them and then speak as if you're speaking to me. It comes naturally the more you practice. Okay got it, thanks.
That's what I'm here for, babycakes
That's even worse
Fine fine, I'l think of something else
I try to clear my mind and focus on Abigail who is back to work rolling out dough in front of me. I'm glad she's busy because I'm sure I looked weird staring at her with such concentrated focus.
Abigail
Abigail looks at me shocked, “How did you do that?”
So it worked? I'm really mind linking you?
Yes you are! But how?
I have no idea.
