Her Guardians.

Linda threw a tantrum and cursed at Brandon with all her might. She was just giving him a suggestion and reminding him to be careful. Why did he humiliate her before these pathetic beings?

The scene went on for a long time, but Mika still couldn't tell what this Orion guy was. This was the first. She read a script before telling about her followers, they're called the protectors/guardians of the crown. These guys may be those mysterious protectors.

Mika wanted to see if she can link with them. Though she was in a frozen state, most of the things she still could do. However, she could never free herself until she gets all the information she was supposed to get.

"Who are you?" Mika linked the three. "Woah, what the fuck?" jumped the scarred one.

They all looked startled and frantic as they looked around.

"He called you, Orion?" Mika said. The guy's body froze and he turned around, somehow he felt her eyes. Their eyes met, this was invisible to him though but to Mika, it was clear as the water and bright as the sunny day.

The guy was truly a beauty, his face was stoic and his eyes cold as the snow, hard as the ice. She wondered, what hardships he might have experienced for him to be so cold?

Is he perhaps like me? Mika chuckled at this thought. "Our eyes just met right now, handsome. You have beautiful eyes, but I find your hair more mesmerizing. Is it magical, Orion?" teased Mika.

She didn't understand why but the moment he turned and their eyes met, she knew. She knew who he was and what he was, she just couldn't help herself but tease him. "Yes your Majesty," he said out loud.

"I will be expecting the three of you, do something about those little omegas. This fool needs to learn his place. Do you need my help, Orion?"

"No your majesty," he said again out loud.

"Hey man, what is happening?" asked the charmer, he was scared. Orion was being obedient and talking to himself. This was unlike him, it was very creepy and scaring the charmer.

He frowned, perhaps he was mind linking with the weird voice they just heard. Anyway, where did that voice come from?

"What are they called?" Mika asked Orion.

Again he answered out loud. "The one with cat eyes is Jonas and the scarred one is Luka, your majesty." He was very respectful to this person.

"Do you know you can just mind linking me right?" Mika asked him.

"Yes my lady, please carry on with the orders and I shall act as the majesty orders." Mika found this endearing and charming.

"For now, your priority is to protect the omegas. Take them to your hideout and take care of them, I still need to make this pack better than what it is now. It is not safe for them to come here. Also, it will not alert the enemy. However, take precautions. If you encounter difficulties when you do the rescue, make contact with me immediately." Mika ordered.

Orion only nodded to show his acknowledgement. Is it possible he can't link back?

It was odd, they were supposed to be able to communicate with her this way. Maybe she was being paranoid, but she couldn't help herself but wonder what was happening with them.

She then went back to the link Jonas and Luka, and asked them the question?

"Are you not able to link back to me?" they froze. Who was this person? They tried to link back but it was not happening.

"Try thinking subconsciously as if you are conversing to yourself but not anyone else. I want to see what will happen?" they tried that as well but it still did not work.

This was very odd and weird, maybe they have to make a ritual. They did not trust her and they were not accepting her, this was obvious to her. It annoyed her.

"Whatever! I can understand your reluctance to accept me but I am not a patient person. You better change your attitude sooner than later. Next time I make contact with you, I expect the mind link to be working. What's the use of the mind link if we alert our enemies of the plans?" Mika said displeased.

"I am expecting good results from you on this mission. Jonas and Luka, Orion will update you on the details. The old goose is partly smart but I am sure you can outsmart him. If you have known each other for years, it wouldn't be hard to know each other's weaknesses. Try new tricks."

She carried on with the command.

"I am sure I don't have to teach you that. I don't like how things are going and whatever they are planning, I trust you will update me on our next commute. Rather than make sure this is done within a week. Orion, make this clean and ensure there are no casualties. THERE. IS. NO. ROOM. FOR ERROR. I hope this is clear enough."

Orion nodded again. Their heads felt like there we splitting into two. The pain of the command and power coming of this person was despicable.

How was it possible for one person to have such power? It was amazing but freaky at the same time. Though Mika could not hear their thoughts at that moment, she felt their anxiety.

***

Lucian was asleep but kept on dreaming about what his mother in law experienced on her capture. It is really scary how a person's mind can be so psychotic, that man had no humanity in him. Even if he was an animal and he acted instinctively, some humanity should have shown. He was part human after all.

But what he witnessed was a mad man who loved initiating pain, he fed on the fear of his victims. The anguish he caused made him feel alive it made him mad when his hostages didn't react to his tortures.

Either way, you still go through the same abuse and you would end up mentally drained and broken. He saw the facade his mother in law put on her mind. It was just wishful thinking, deluding herself thinking she could forget. This was her mistake, she needed to talk about this. It was okay she wanted to beat her tormenters but she needed to face the demon to defeat it.

She was running away from the truth, she thought she was making the right decision but it wasn't the right one. He wanted to help desperately but he knew he shouldn't push.

She will realise her way of healing was not going to work, she needed to see this and find it herself.
