When Caleb heard Cedric’s voice echoing in his head, he nearly stumbled over in shock. Fear gripped him tightly, memories of their father’s voice resurfacing after such a long time. Cedric’s voice held a chilling resemblance, stirring both emotion and dread within him.
Especially with the suddenness and unexpectedness of it. Cedric, on the other hand, didn’t seem to register the fact that the sudden reconnection after months of dead silence was bound to take the other totally off guard. He just continued to speak like he would during any other normal conversation, except, this wasn’t exactly normal, at least not for Caleb.
As the messages flooded in, Sophia took note of her mate’s tense posture until it seemed to end, and he collapsed into the closest chair.
“Are you okay, Caleb? What’s wrong?” Sophia questioned, concern etched into her features as she rushed to his side, voice laced with worry as her eyes searched for answers.
Still, in a daze, Caleb could only manage a single word, a mutter of “Cedric” escaping his lips.
Sophia’s eyes widened in alarm. It was only normal at this point that she would assume the worst. “He attacked again?” she questioned, fear evident in her voice.
Caleb shakes his head, attempting to compose himself. “No, he didn’t attack. He… he just asked for food through the mindlink. And he wants his living space cleaned.”
Sophia’s eyes seemed to grow even wider at that, now mirroring Caleb’s initial shocked state.
