As she neared the airport’s exit, Markus’s mind-link came through, filled with desperation. “Kaia, where are you? Damn it, answer me!”
Kaia took a deep breath before responding, keeping her voice steady, trying to form a plan as she looked around. “You’ll find me at the Marriott Airport Hotel restaurant. Come discreetly, and make sure you’re not followed.”
“What is happening, Kaia? What is this?” Markus's frustration was palpable.
“I have the girl,” Kaia replied firmly. “I can’t risk her safety. Just meet me there and be careful.”
With that, Kaia focused on getting to the hotel, praying that they could stay one step ahead of the Lycans and keep the little girl safe.
After what felt like an eternity, Kaia finally heard Markus's voice through their mind link, his tone firm and urgent.
