Last time:

Your emotions. They're all over the place. Are you alright Darlin'?Ares's smooth voice lulled in my head, cutting through my thoughts. I looked away from the window when I felt his hand on my shoulder. My thoughts about why Tasha was on her own without Ian went to the back of my mind.

I was so confused and scared when it came to Ares. He was my mate and I was so scared.

I...I'm

I knowhis thoughts whispered softly to me as he pulled me into his arms. For the first time in my long life, I didn't feel so alone.

I felt safe.

Almost.

Present:

(Tasha's P.O.V, a couple of days later)

My hands shook as I struggled to dial the number. Scared didn't describe how I felt. Terrified was more accurate. Even If I had got out of the camp again without notice everything for me rested on this call. I prayed to every God or higher power I could think of that the Major wouldn't kill me the moment he found out what I had done. I took a deep breath as the call connected.

"Speak," commanded a rough voice on the other end of the phone, startling me slightly.

"I'm in sir," I said, trying to keep my voice steady and full of calm.

"Good. The Major doesn't suspect anything, does he?" he questioned. I mentally cringed at the happiness in his voice.

"No, sir. Although Shadow may suspect something, sir." I said, bracing myself for his reaction.

" What? Explain now or face the consequences!" He roared angrily, making me flinch. It took everything in me to not start dry sobbing at the thought of the consequences if I didn't explain. I hated myself for what I was about to tell him next.

"Shadow is...is mated to the Major, sir. I noticed the bite mark and the bond as soon as I arrived, sir." I said as I struggled to keep myself upright as pain rippled through my chest. I had to lean against a tree to stop myself from falling to my knees.

"Can you manipulate it?" he asked, his voice eerily calm. This wasn't good.

"No, sir." I whispered into the receiver.

"You better think of something fast or I will rip your man's pretty little head from his shoulders if you fail me again. I want you to observe them and report back to me with any useful information." He hissed before all I heard was the dial tone. I fell to my knees as soon as I had pocketed my phone. The pain in my chest mocked me as the danger of my situation hit as suddenly as a steam train.

Would I survive this?
