While the mates were busy torturing each other with scenes that could leave them with blue balls, well technically Angelo would be the one suffering, but hey, it was both of them anyways. So while they were at it, with their insane lack of sleep, Mikhail was waiting for the ascendant to reach out to him.
Demetrius had said that the immortal object would call out its true master and it had been almost two days since it disappeared and it hadn't been sighted anywhere.
Patience was something Mikhail was yet to learn as the sun went down on the third day since Hera's heat. He didn't know what was taking the damned thing too long, especially when he had been in Alexei, trying to do everything that he thought would make the ascendant call out to him.
He had been in the gym over-exercising his body because if his body reached the tipping point, then he would have no other option but to reach out to the ascendant, at which point the item would give him insights.
