[IRIS POV]
'Aren't you going to tell our mate about this change in plans?' my wolf asked, her voice testy.
I shook my head. 'If I inform him, and he actually shows up and brings me back, I risk revealing your presence. I can't risk it.'
As I prepared myself for a long walk back, I wanted to inform Caius about this change in plans via our mental connection, but that would mean risking exposing my secret.
Me, use the pack's mental link? What a joke.
After all, I was a girl with no wolf. There was no way I could access the pack's mental link to communicate with Caius, or anyone else in the pack. And no one knew we were fated mates, so of course, I wouldn't have the mate bond to use as a telepathic connection either.
'You're just afraid he wouldn't come even if you told him,' my wolf snorted, calling me out on my lies. 'He did seem wrapped around that other woman's finger. I told you we should have killed her.'
