The Reunion

As Mia regained consciousness, she found herself surrounded by familiar faces, their expressions a mixture of relief and joy. Blake held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with love and concern.

"Welcome back, Mia," he said softly, his voice a comforting presence in the midst of her confusion.

Mia's gaze drifted to the figure standing beside Blake, her heart skipping a beat as she took in the striking resemblance. The woman looked just like her in every aspect, except for a faint scent of watermelon.

"Who are you?" Mia asked, her voice weak and filled with confusion.

The woman smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. "I'm Aurora," she replied, her voice filled with emotion.

Mia's mind struggled to process this information. She had no memory of Aurora but felt an inexplicable connection. Before she could speak, Aurora stepped closer, her eyes searching Mia's face.

"I know this is overwhelming," Aurora said gently. "But we're twins, Mia. We were separated at birth. I've always known about you, and now, finally, we can be together."

For a moment, Mia could only stare, the weight of this revelation pressing down on her. Then, as if drawn together by an invisible force, they embraced, the years of separation melting away in the warmth of their sisterly bond.

"I can't believe you're here," Mia said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I never knew..."

Aurora nodded, her own voice choked with tears. "It's a lot to take in. Chad kept me updated about you, but I never imagined this moment."

As Mia recuperated in the healing waters near the pack land, Aurora and Chad's mate Amber kept her company at night, ensuring her soul remained unsealed. During the day, Blake and Chad watched over her, supporting her as she rested. This routine lasted for about three weeks, during which Mia slowly regained her strength, eventually staying awake for more than two hours at a time.

During her waking hours, Mia learned more about Aurora. She discovered that Aurora was Elias' mate, which explained why Elias had always felt a different kind of bond with her. This realization brought clarity to Mia, confirming that Blake was her true mate, her first and only.

"You and Elias never felt right to me," Mia admitted to Blake one evening. "Now I understand why."

Blake smiled, relief evident in his eyes. "We've always been meant for each other, Mia."

Mia also learned about Aurora's struggles with her wolf. "I couldn't control my wolf at first either," Aurora confided one night. "But with time, I managed. My wolf is white with patches of black fur, unlike yours, but we share the same blood."

As the days passed, Mia's bond with Aurora grew stronger. They shared stories of their lives, marveling at the similarities and differences between them. They laughed and cried, their connection deepening with each passing moment.

However, amid the joy of their reunion, Mia couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the back of her mind. Sky, her wolf companion, had been silent for days, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hear its voice.

One evening, as she sat with Blake and her family, Mia finally broached the subject that had been weighing on her heart.

"I can't hear Sky anymore," she confessed, her voice trembling with worry. "I've tried talking to her, but she just...won't respond. I know she's there, but I don't understand why she won't answer me."

Blake squeezed her hand gently, his expression filled with concern. "Maybe she's just taking some time to adjust," he offered, though his eyes betrayed his own uncertainty.

Mia nodded, though the knot of fear in her stomach remained. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that her connection with Sky had been severed in some irreversible way.

As the days passed, Mia's anxiety only grew. She felt like a part of her was missing, a void that no amount of love or support could fill. And then, one fateful night, as she lay in bed with Blake by her side, that void consumed her completely.

It had been a week since Mia had confessed her inability to hear Sky's voice. Despite her best efforts, nothing had changed. She had prayed and pleaded, but still, the silence remained.

As she lay in bed, her mind plagued by worry and doubt, Mia felt a sudden wave of dizziness wash over her. She clutched at the sheets, trying to steady herself, but it was no use. Darkness closed in around her, and she knew no more.

When Mia awoke, she found herself back in the hospital bed, surrounded by concerned faces. Blake was there, his eyes red-rimmed with exhaustion and worry. Chad stood nearby, his expression grim.

"What happened?" Mia asked, her voice hoarse and weak.

Chad sighed, his gaze filled with sorrow. "You passed out, Mia," he said softly. "We don't know why or how, but we're going to figure it out. We're not giving up on you."

Mia nodded, her heart heavy with fear and uncertainty. She knew that whatever lay ahead, she would face it with the unwavering support of her family and the love of her mate.

But as she closed her eyes, a single thought echoed in her mind, a silent plea to the heavens above: "Sky, please, come back to me."

One evening, Blake walked into the room to find Mia staring at the mirror in a daze. She looked out of it, sweat running down her forehead, but her skin was cold to the touch. Her grip on the table was so tight that her knuckles had turned white.

"Blake, it's Sky. She..." Mia took a deep breath and stumbled as she stood up, walking outside while ripping her clothes.

She let out an ear-piercing scream, drawing the attention of everyone on the pack land. They all ran over to see what was happening. Aurora rushed over, her eyes widening as she saw her sister. She started shouting for everyone to step back.

Mia's bones began shaking and breaking as she screamed and rolled on the ground. Within minutes, she had transformed into a massive white wolf with one blue eye and one red eye. Her fur was as white as snow, with blue and red patches on each leg.

She was the largest wolf anyone had ever seen. Everyone was shocked, including Blake and Chad. Aurora quickly shifted into her wolf form and approached, instructing Blake to do the same so they could try to connect with Sky.

Sky was unwilling to let them in.

Seraphina used her magic to create a barrier to protect the pack members. Hours passed, but Blake and Aurora persisted, eventually breaking through to Sky. Finally, Sky calmed down.
