Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North

"How do you block your mind?" Dawn asked. She was afraid that Darius might be able to hear what she was thinking, but Zenith reassured her that the gamma couldn’t do that because the two of them were not that close just yet.

"Have you never used mindlink in your pack?" This came as a surprise to Zenith. Now he noticed how they had never had a mindlink between the two of them in his first life.

"I remembered that I used to be able to mindlink my father a few years after I shifted for the first time, but after that, I couldn’t do it anymore."

"Don’t you feel a little bit odd about not being able to do it?"

Dawn thought about that for a while, but she shook her head. "No. I didn’t talk to him very often. I don’t think losing my ability to mindlink with him bothered me, so I have never noticed if it’s something important."

Zenith then explained to her the reason why she couldn’t use the mindlink anymore, it was because the bond between them had faded away. They were emotionally detached from each other.

"Well, that makes sense." Dawn was still hiding under the blanket, only her eyes could be seen, as she sang a lullaby in her mind to distract herself from thinking something that would make her embarrassed. "How to block my mind now?"

Zenith laid next to her. "Why should I teach you when I enjoy listening to what you are thinking?"

"Zenith, you can’t do that to me!" Dawn was so upset, she came out from under the blanket and bit his arm. "I will not let go until you tell me how."
