Theodore's POV
"I have to leave!" The words tore from my throat as heat coursed through my healing wounds.
"Where are you going?" Kayne's voice cut through the temple's oppressive silence.
Something primal screamed inside me, demanding action. "Ready the warriors immediately. Tell them to search for their Luna. Do it now!"
Shock flashed across Kayne's face. He studied me for a heartbeat before nodding sharply. As his mind link opened to relay my commands, I tilted my head back, fighting the weakness that threatened to buckle my knees. Blood loss had drained me, but Federico stirred within, promising swift recovery.
I had kept him hidden from the shadow wolves, following my own orders to remain silent. Otherwise, they would have delved deeper, seeking to destroy him from within.
'Federico, I need you now,' I called internally. 'Are you ready?'
'Always,' his response came without hesitation. 'Let me surface while you heal. Seraphine faces danger. We must reach our mate.'
