章 223: CHAPTER 223 – Axel

　　Stella’s POV

　　Sophia? I tried mind-linking her even though I knew she blocked me and couldn't hear me.

　　I was in complete darkness, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. I could feel Sophia’s light magic around me. It was keeping me warm and I wasn’t lonely. Her light magic was fueled by her love for her family and mate. It felt like they were around me. It felt like Axel was right next to me. I could feel his fur against mine. I could even feel Holden even though I never got a chance to see him. I could feel him next to me. I could feel their love all around me and even though I was trapped there, I wasn’t afraid. I had nothing to be afraid of as long as my family and my mate were around me.

　　I missed Sophia, though. I missed her so much. She was my best friend and my other half. I couldn't let anything happen to her. I had to do whatever I could to help her. I wouldn't be complete without her

　　Soph? I called her again, trying so hard to reach her.
