"Alex is—"

"Leo's mate. All six of them are mated to her."

"Six."

"Yeah."

“I want to meet her immediately.”

“I told him to bring everybody.”

“All seven?”

“Yeah.”

“Good. When?”

“Leo's talking to Alex.”

“Tell him I'm serious. I want them here.”

Then I tell her about Voss.

“He asked if I wanted to keep working with the first-years.”

“Do you?”

“Yeah.” I grin. “Turns out I really like knocking cocky eighteen-year-olds on their asses.”

“I'm shocked.”

“That's not even the best part.”

“What's the best part?”

“Teaching them how to stop me from doing it again.”

She looks at me for a second. “You're serious.”

“Yeah.”

“So what happens now?”

“I find Voss tomorrow and ask what it takes.”

“Good.”

“That's it?”

“What else is there? You want it. You're good at it. Go do it.”

That gets me.

“That's a hell of a thing to say—”

“Mateo.”

“What?”
