“Not all of them. I can’t heal properly, and my shape-shifting isn’t ideal either.”
“Wait a minute... You can’t heal fast?” Asks Elena, surprised.
I shake my head. “No... I still heal faster than a human, but my healing ability is not as good as regular werewolves.”
She looks shocked and points to herself. “Nora, I have the same issue! As far as I recall, I never healed properly!”
“Really?”
“Yes! So far, I thought it was just me being weaker than other werewolves, but now...”
She’s right. If we are right about being related, and both experience the same problem with our healing capacity, that means it must be an issue with our blood. If we are indeed related to the Royals, shouldn’t our abilities actually be more reliable than our peers’? Why are we slow healers? Is it because we are mixed, then?
“Did you experience anything else that’s different?” I ask.
“Mind-linking. I’m much better at that than anyone I know, including my own Alpha. No matter the distance, I have no problem communicating with my pack members. I can even communicate with other packs’ Alphas.”
“Wait, aren’t you an Alpha?”
She frowns. “No, I’m not. And I don’t want to be.”
But she definitely has Alpha potential, like me! I was sure she was her own Pack leader and can’t imagine her in anyother position. I want to ask her, but she’s annoyed by the subject, so I give up for now.
“What about you?” She then asks.
“I can’t, for now. I don’t belong to any Clan at the moment, so...”
You should try it. With your Alpha mate.
I don’t really get how it works yet...
Nora, you’re mind-linking. Like, right now.
I look at her, surprised, and at Bobo. Gosh, she’s right! I did it without realizing it because she started talking to me that way, and her voice sounded so clear in my head that I couldn’t tell the difference. Elena smiles at me, amused by my reaction.
“Don’t use it too much on others, though. If you’re like me, people might... not really like it.”
“Why do you mean?” I ask, intrigued.
“You’ll see.”
She checks the time from the clock on the wall and frowns. Bobo nods and takes a look at the entrance. “You should go, Elena. Our pack will have noticed your presence by now.”
“What? Wait! We are not done talking!” I protest.
I still have so many questions, and Elena is the only person who knows anything about my origins! But she shakes her head and puts her cap back on. “Sorry, Nora, Boyan is right. I already stayed longer than I should. Don’t worry, I’ll keep searching about the Blue Moon Clan.”
“When can we meet again?”
She winks at me. “I will find you, don’t worry. For now, don’t tell anyone about what we discussed today, okay? No one but Bobo must know, Nora, it is crucial.”
What about Damian? I don’t want to have to lie to him! Not when we are starting to trust each other! Elena seems to read my thoughts and answers right away.
“Not even your mate, Nora.”
“But...”
“If it makes you feel better, you are not the only one with secrets. I wouldn’t trust Damian Black so easily if I were you.”
