Chapter 25

Previously, on Love bite   

I then walk over and open the back door. "The only place that would be fitting, Luka," I reply.

Luka stops right in the doorway, he looks at me. "And where might that be, Sophie?"

"The perfect spot Luka," I give him a smile. "The spot that I gave you my farewell."

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 Now Sophie's P.O.V

Within an instant Luka and I are on four paws, like always, he shifted first, followed by me a moment later.

I turn and start to head down the hill, as I reach the bottom, I feel all the pack links connect to mine. Once we're both at the bottom, me and Luka let out a howl. The dark forest then comes alive with song, the crisp howls echoing off the trees, seemingly rattling their thick trunks.

Once I have my mate at my side, I connect my pack mind link, along with a private mind link to Luka, so that I can talk to him one on one, while also speaking to the rest of the pack without them being able to hear each other.

I test things out.

"Testing, testing, can you guys hear me?"

There's a definite yes from all the pack, I can feel their response mixing with their thoughts, after a moment, a lone wolf speaks up.

"Yes, Sophie, we hear you," replies my uncle.

I turn my head towards Luka. "Luka, can you hear me?"

Luka then turns towards me. "Yes, Sophie, I could hear you crystal clear."

"Could you hear any of the pack just now?" I ask him.

"No, not at all,"  he replies, then he backtracks. "Well, besides the howling, but not anything coming off the link."

I turn my head back around to face the trees once more. "Did you guys hear Luka just then?" I then ask.

There's a strong hollow silence over the link, a wave of confusion washing over the entire packs thoughts for a moment, like they didn't know Luka was even here with me.

"No, Sophie, we didn't. At least, I didn't hear my bro's voice" Elliot's voice is the one to ring out over the mind link this time.

I turn towards Luka again and give him a nod, I then turn back.

"Alright everyone, let's start this marathon," I say.

The pack them bubbles up with excitement. I give Luka another nod, flatten my ears slightly against my skull, and take off into the dark forest in front of me, my mate on my flank.

About three hours in to the night Luka and I round the corner that will take us around the patch of forest that leads to the meadow, the dark of night making the trees look almost black.

It's been a quiet night, nothing to come of Ace so far, Luka and I have crossed paths with two teams who reported to me that everything was fine, but that was it

Too Soon. I spoke too soon, suddenly an urgent howl rips through the night air from the meadow, Luka and I double back sharply and head towards the sounded alert. I jump over logs, weave in between the pines. My fur than bristles up on the back of my neck, as I then bear my teeth slightly.
