Nothing will happen to me.I mind-linked him.I am safe, my love. You are keeping me safe.

He looked at me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Fine,” he mumbled. “She can go to lunch with the Lunas.”

I gave him a small smile and he leaned his forehead against mine.

“Will you be okay with so many people around you, Mads?” Mike asked, making me look at him. “Will you be able to handle it?”

Dimitri’s head fell on my shoulder and I placed a hand on his head, holding him close. I gave a small smile to Mike.

“I will be okay,” I said. “I found a way to keep their thoughts away. At least for a little while.”

Mike’s eyes widened a little. “How?”

“It’s hard for me to explain,” I said. “I’m trying to imagine a wall around my mind. It helps.”

Mike smiled at me.

“That’s great, Maddie,” Oliver said. “You need to make sure that you are okay. You can’t let it overwhelm you.”

I gave him a small nod.

“Ali and Ellie will make sure that everything is okay,” Will said. “I will tell them what to do if…”

‘Maddie?’Skye called me and I stopped listening to Will.‘I want to shift tonight.’

My heart skipped a beat. I wasn’t sure if I was…

‘You are ready,’Skye said sternly.‘You have to stop denying who you are, Madeline. You have to stop pushing me away.’

I gulped and tried to take a deep breath.

I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t sure if I would ever be ready.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - Skye

Dimitri’s POV

“Why can’t we go to the forest to do this?” Maddie asked as I closed our bedroom door.

“And risk someone seeing you?” I said, shaking my head at her. “I am not letting that happen, Madeline. You will shift here.”

The room was big enough for her to do it here. Skye would have to wait to go on a run. It wasn’t safe.

Maddie approached the fireplace and looked at the flames. I saw worry in her eyes and it made my heart hurt.

“Maddie, princess, what’s wrong?” I asked her.

‘She is still angry at Skye,’Skol sighed.‘She doesn’t want to shift.’

I sighed and walked closer to Maddie. I wrapped my arms around her from behind and kissed her temple. She took a deep breath and leaned into me.

“Skye did it all to protect you, princess,” I said softly. “She loves you so much.”

Maddie remained silent. It was driving me crazy. I needed to know what she was thinking.

“Princess,” I called her again.
