Chapter 0449
Chaos. That’s all I can feel. Utter chaos. There are sounds and voices all around me. I can’t make out what they are saying, there are so many of them and they are talking over each other. I try to
tell them I can’t understand them, but my voice is drowned out by theirs.
I try to find Maia in my mind, but if she is there, I can’t hear her voice over the cacophony in my head. It’s overwhelming and it never stops. I bend down, covering my ears with my hands, trying to lessen the sounds, but it doesn’t help.
Initially, I felt like I was going to go crazy. But eventually, the noise becomes almost background noise in my head, making it easier for me to think. I remember what happened, how I tapped into nearly 1000 wolves that were still alive and pulled their energy and strength into my aura before pushing it out to kill the hunters and save our packs. And that’s when I realize what the noise is. I connected to every pack member from three packs, and now I don’t know how to disconnect
myself from them.
Maia is watching over our child, so I’m on my own to untangle this web of voices. If what I did
worked, I’ll have to untangle over 1500 voices in my head before I’ll be able to get out of this mess.
The first couple of times I try, it’s too overwhelming and I shut it down again. Then, one day, I see one strand light up. I can see the thread of the voice as it weaves in and around others. I pull on it and untangle it from all the others. Eli. It’s his voice that is now separated. I keep it close so I can
listen when he talks to me.
Cara, Angel, Sirona and Benny are next. I’m not sure if I have a stronger connection to them, or if they are actually somewhere close to me talking so I can hear them, or in this case, see their
voices more clearly.
Once I figure out how to untangle a voice, I start with my pack. I focus on one voice. Amber, Noah, Carlos, until I find their voice and I untangle them from the others. It’s slow going and exhausting work. When I can’t do it anymore, I pull on the thread of Eli’s voice, laying my head beside it and
listening to him. I hear him as he talks to our child and then as he talks to me. I hear him tell me
to come back to him. Soon, my love. As soon as possible, I will be there.
I have no idea how much time is passing. There is no day and night here in my mind. Only an intricate web of voices. I finally untangle my pack’s voices from the others then start working on the ones from the other packs that are more familiar to me, Liam, Rik, and their ranked members. One by one, I unravel the massive ball of knots that is in my head..
Eli has begun to sound desperate. I’ve been away too long and he needs me to come back. I can
only imagine how he is suffering. If our roles were reversed, I’m not sure I would be holding up as
well as he is. I’ve also realized that when Cara and Angel are talking to me, it helps me to decipher their pack members, making it easier for me to pull their voices out of the mess.

As I get closer to the end, I’m able to untangle faster, pulling more and more threads out of the chaos. The voices in my head are quieting down and it makes it easier for me to hear Eli.
When his light shines brightly, I’m on the last group of threads. I can hear his desperation. I can hear his tears and it makes me move faster, trying to get these last voices separated so I can get. back to my mate.
As he finally tells me that our son needs his mother before I hear his choked sobs, I untangle the last knot and it frees my mind from the chaos. I open my eyes and maybe it shouldn’t be my first question, but really, how does he know we’re having a boy?
When he lifts his head, I can see exactly how much of a toll my unconscious state has taken on him. His face is lined with stress, his eyes look like he hasn’t slept in weeks, and he looks like
he’s aged. How long have I been unconscious?

Where is the first of the guardians children’s books I can’t find it. Is it not done yet? I’m so invested in the whole saga I’m loving it and am itching for more!...

You said in other chapters Cara smells like vinallia and lavender and now are saying she smells like vinallia and honey. Didn't know of that was on purpose or a mistake....
