Sarel chuckled. “We don’t want power boosts from you, we just want a mate, and we want you to tell us what makes you happy, no holds barred.”

She snorted. “Little late for that.”

Vinul came toward her and gathered all the flowers she favoured together in his arms. He surrounded her with them. “We were all caught by surprise, but we are catching up.”

She smiled and took one of the flowers, inhaling gently. It had a subtle scent that was hard to place, but she relaxed as she took in the aroma. She said softly, “When do we eat?”

Sarel chuckled. “Ten minutes.”

“Good.”

She leaned her head against him. “Wake me up then.”

He chuckled. “Yes, Leska.”

She leaned against him and dozed off in the safest place she could imagine.

When she got the message,On our way,Cadence sat up and started looking around.

“Use the harmony to feel where the portal starts, Caddy,” Raek murmured.

She sighed and sent out a soft pulse of her energy and saw them before they arrived. “There.”

“Good. You are getting control of your activation.”

“Well, we do practice enough.” She smiled.
