Getting Closer

~Aida~

The bond with my sister is the strongest it’s been in a long time. I never thought I’d feel this bond again, and that thought broke my heart. I shift against my mate; the pain is still present but not as strong as it was in the beginning. “She’s a lot closer. We should go meet her.”

Ivan stands up and reaches his hand out to me. I grab onto this hand tightly, not trusting my own body at this point. He swiftly pulls me up, and I let my body mold onto his. “Tell her there’s a clearing; we will be waiting there.”

Sister…..sister…..can you hear me?

Aida?

Yes, I’ll be waiting for you in the clearing.

What clearing, where?

I’ll be waiting. Truth be told, I have no idea what clearing or where it would be. Ivan knows this area better than me, so I will trust him to guide us. I can’t wait to see my sister and feel her arms wrapped around me.

I look up at Ivan, who’s been watching me. He gives me a small smile, and I wrap my arm around his neck tighter. “I’m ready when you are.” He kiss
