Chapter 51 They Found Us.
They hadn't heard or seen him arrive because of their little chat. “How long have you been there!” Fernanda exclaimed, wondering how much he has heard. “Not long,” Levi responded, his eyes were on Maya.
Fernanda sighed, thinking perhaps Levi hadn't heard a thing. But then her eyes snapped wider when she recalled that Levi was a Lycan with a high sense of listening, he could literally hear sounds from kilometers away.
Levi just went about his business to start a fire, leaving both of them exchanging confused glances. He had actually heard all their conversation and it wasn't because he wanted to know what they were saying, but due to safety reasons. And they didn't exactly speak in hushed tones either so it was easy for him to hear them loud and clear.
It was getting colder as it got darker. Both Fernanda and Maya came close to the fire to retrieve some warmth as soon as Levi was done making it. He didn't need the warmth, being cold was a part of him due to his ice wielding.
Lycans are supposed to be warm blooded, normal Lycans are. But you can't be warm blooded when you command the solid state of water.
Levi once again tried to see if he can communicate with Sebastian through mindlink. He sent a signal and for the first time after days of no communication, it worked.
Sebastian had just arrived at Vosnos when he got Levi's message. He halted his march to listen carefully to be sure if it was him. “Your majesty,” Levi repeated himself, "I already concluded you were dead Beta, what happened?" Sebastian responded.
“I am a bit offended you would think that. I don't die that easy.” Said Levi. He glanced at Fernanda where she was with a sleeping Maya, getting warmth from the fire. “I found the Queen, she's right here with me.” Levi said with a tired sigh.
Sebastian could feel his heart stop for a second, then it began racing. He trusted Levi enough to know he wouldn't lie about such but he still felt the urge to ask him if he was telling the truth. “How is she? Is she hurt?” Was all Sebastian could ask instead.
“She is tired, but other than that she is fine.” Levi reported, still looking at Fernanda. Fernanda raised her head when she felt Levi's gaze on her. A slight frown settled on her face, ”what's wrong?“ Fernanda asked but Levi shook his head.
“Where are you now?” Sebastian asked, ”You don't need to find us your majesty, we are already on our way back. We just have a slight malfunction with the transportation route.“ Levi said with a small scoff. ”Care to explain what that means?“ Sebastian demanded, his heart racing fast from excitement. Makers. He missed her so much.
“It is a long story but you do not need to march anymore. We'll reach you soon. There's a lot to be discussed.” Levi replied. “How long will it take for you to arrive with my wife?” Sebastian asked. “In a few hours.” Levi's response made Sebastian truly believe there was a lot to really talk about indeed.
“Alright soldier. I'll be waiting. But if I don't see both of you soon enough, best believe I'm wrecking havoc wherever it's necessary, you should understand what I mean by that.”
“Understood.”
Then the link was severed. Maya was already fast asleep and Fernanda was struggling not to sleep. “You should get some rest, you need it also.” Levi told her. She nodded, stifling a yawn. “You actually heard everything we said earlier didn't you?” she asked with a small smile.
“You were both loud, it was hard not to hear.” Levi replied with a shrug. Fernanda wanted to say something about him and Maya but decided not to. She didn't want to interfere in whatever they have going on.
Levi also wanted to tell Fernanda that he spoke with Sebastian already through mindlink but decided not to too. He didn't know how to explain to Fernanda how excited and relieved Sebastian was to hear that she was safe.
So they both sat in awkward silence. Fernanda was already falling asleep when a loud noise woke her up. All three of them stood up immediately, Maya recognized the sound all too well. Before they knew it, multiple familiar portals opened up around them.
“Makers! They are here, the shadow wielder are here!” Maya exclaimed. “Damon's found us.”
Nina was the first to stepped out of her portal followed by Sloane. Shadow Wielders appeared one by one out of the portals. “It's nice to see you again Eira, we have unfinished business and you also have something of Damon's.” Nina commented with a spiteful smirk on her face.
“Get behind me.” Levi simply said, he has had enough of the shadow wielders..
