Henderson's POV
I despise feeling powerless, and Kain's silence leaves me hollow inside, but being connected to Percy's consciousness intoxicates me. His mental landscape mirrors his physical presence perfectly. Harsh and unforgiving on the surface, yet tender and caring in the depths, especially when those thoughts turn toward me. This discovery sends warmth flooding through my chest.
The mind link crackles to life with his voice. "Having you inside my head should terrify me, but instead it feels like sunshine breaking through storm clouds. Like hearing music after years of silence."
I gaze up at my mate, this man who makes hardened Alphas tremble yet compares my presence in his mind to poetry.
"If anyone hears about this, I'll call you a liar," he growls through our connection.
