Page 120 of His Sunshine Baby

“If it’s my birth clan, she might know something.”

“Sure.”

“Who should I call? She wasn’t at the bar.”

Daniel sighs, nods, and goes to grab his own phone.

We spend the next hour calling almost everyone we know to try and figure out where Reagan is, but as usual, my mentor is a real mystery. No one knows her whereabouts since she was spotted earlier this morning in the forest by one of Levi’s patrol friends.

I’m exhausted and angry when we finally give up. At least we know they’ll call us back as soon as they see Reagan somewhere again. I growl and sit down on the couch. Daniel tries to soothe me, but I’m stuck in that whirlwind of emotions.

“It’s a nightmare, Danny. Every time I think I’ve found something new, it just turns into a dead end again! And Reagan is just…”

I can’t even express my frustration. If only she would talk! She knows, I know she freaking knows something, but won’t say it. I sit down on the couch, desperate. Daniel heads to the kitchen.

“Don’t worry babe, we’re making progress. I’m telling you, that Blue Moon clan theory might be a real thing!”

“And how would we know? Reagan’s playing dead and I have no one else to ask.”

I pause. Actually, I do. I kind of put this at the back of my mind since it was complicated enough just to see her once, but… Danny spots my expression while bringing two cups of coffee.

“Babe, you got that face you make when you’re about to say something crazy, reckless, dangerous, or all of the above.”

“I have to meet Nora again,” I say.

“I knew it,” he sighs. “Okay, let’s skip the ‘this is a dumb idea’ part and get right to when you explain your idea to me.”

“I don’t have an idea, I just need to meet her again. I’ll ask Boyan to help.”

“Boyan has been unreachable since he’s been guarding her!” says Danny.

“I can mind-link him. It’s hard, but, if I force it a little, I can reach him.”

Daniel looks at me, totally shocked. Yeah. I kind of forgot to tell him about that. He takes a step back, frowning at me with a confused expression.

“Boyan is a beta,” he says.

“I know.”

“You mind-linked a beta. From another clan.”

“Yep.”

“Elena!”

“I know! I know it’s kind of crazy, but it just happened and back then, I didn’t really, you know, realize.”

“Elena, it’s already crazy enough that you can freely mind-link any alpha, but now you can mind-link betas too? Babe, this isn’t a trivial matter!”

I understand Daniel’s concerns, but really, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I sigh and grab my cup, trying to act calm.

“Listen, it was already kind of weird that I could mind-link alphas. So honestly, being able to mind-link Bobo is kind of a drop in the ocean… and maybe it’s because we’re close?”

“I am close to Boyan. You’re close to Boyan because he’s my boy– well, soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend, okay?”

“Stop the drama, Danny. Anyway, back to the main topic, Boyan can help me talk to Nora.”

“So your idea is to harass Boyan through mind-link until he calls you back to let you meet with that Nora girl?”
