*FINN*

Freyahasbeenthroughso many years of trauma. She hasn’t told me any details yet, but I know her life had to be incredibly hard, and yet here she is, walking next to me with so much strength and determination.

Max is literally on cloud nine too.Finn, Finn, Finn?

Yes?I ask patiently.

Now that she saw your joystick and approved, you think she…He lies down on the ground, wagging his tail in excitement.

She…what?

Would she want to talk to me? I want to talk to her! You had her all to yourself until now. Move aside for your hot wolf!He pauses.Unless you think she wouldn’t want to talk to me…

I can’t help but chuckle a bit. Who knew he would be so adorable?I’m sure she would love to talk to you. But can she?

Yes, the connection to her mind is open now.He beams.

I’m speechless for a moment. How fast did the wolfsbane start to leave her system for her to be able to use the mind link now? She truly is incredible.

You think it’s okay to mind link her?Max asks hopefully.

I smile.Of course, go ahead. Meanwhile I’ll take a step back.

I allow Max to take over for a moment, noting how he instantly links her.Hello beautiful,he stutters.I’m Max.

Freya looks at us in surprise.

The lycan,Max blurts out in panic.Finn’s lycan! Not some random creep who took over his body. Not an alien or anything. I’m not weird at all, and not a creep.

Freya chuckles softly.It’s nice to meet you, Max.

You’re sweet, my mate. Both of you,he hurries to say.Seri too.

She giggles again.Sereia likes the nickname.

Max seems to be incredibly happy at her words. I can feel how he fights to take over and shift, to snuggle up to her.Your scent is intoxicating.He continues to charm her.Between you and chicken wings, it’s hard to decide.

Oh, Max, it was going so well. I want to facepalm. Fortunately, Freya finds him hilarious and laughs at his words.You’re funny, Max,she exclaims.

He turns his attention to me, beaming with pride.See, she said I’m funny!

I decide not to tell him that this could go both ways and be meant as a compliment or… not.

Eventually, Max’s shyness wins over, and he retreats to the back of my mind, letting me take over again.

I squeeze Freya’s hand and smirk at her. “It’s me again.”

“Your wolf is so cute, Finn.” Freya chuckles.

“He’s happy you like him,” I admit.

“Did he really see my wolf?” she asks curiously.

“Yes, he said he saw her. Why? Have you never seen her?”

“No.” She looks down sadly. “I was able to connect to her, but when I turned seventeen and couldn’t shift, they instantly demoted me and fed me with wolfsbane just like the others.” I can see Steve stiffen slightly in front of me. He heard her words and probably realized that Amaryllis had faced a similar fate. “I hear her voice, but I can’t see her.”

Max?I decide to ask my lycan directly.
