My mate was somewhere in this mountain without me.
It was time for me to find her.
Find her.
And finally make her love me.
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Stephanie
“Are you sure they’regoing to be OK?” I asked as Priya led me by the hand through tunnels she’d obviously memorized during her time here.
“They’ll be fine. Honestly, what you just saw was pretty typical for their interactions. Did you know Errok exiled Lerokan for months, just because he wouldn’t answer the Vrika’s call?” Her voice softened. “But like I said, they do care about each other. I don’t know if you know this, but they were called to the Vrika’s peak at the same time when I was with Gahn Thaleo. They were climbing together and Lerokan slipped. He would have fallen to his death, but Errok grabbed him. He saved him. So, no, after all that, I don’t think he’s going to turn around and strangle my mate. Besides, if he has any sense at all, he’ll know that if he does something that stupid, he’ll have both of us angry human ladies to deal with.”
It was hard for me to imagine Errok saving anybody except for maybe himself. Or me. But then again, I clearly didn’t know everything about the confusing, maddening Gahn.
Priya dragged me around the massive mountain, knowing her way despite the darkness. I made a mental note that we’d have to install lanterns like Gahn Thaleo had done. She showed me the beautiful cave she shared with Lerokan, and I told her honestly how lovely I thought the space was.
“Apparently Errok’s cave is even nicer,” Priya said.
I rolled my eyes.
“Of course, it is.”
“I could show it to you.”
Priya and I both jumped at the sound of a new voice in the mix. At the entrance to the cave, someone stood watching us.
“Hi, Tilka!” Priya said, jogging over. “Here, come meet Stephanie.”
Priya led someone – a woman – towards me. The Deep Sky woman looked slightly familiar, even though I knew I’d never seen her before. I definitely would have remembered seeing a Deep Sky woman with a shaved head like she had.
“I am Tilka. Lerokan and Errok’s aunt.”
That was why she looked familiar. Family resemblance. She had the same white burst of sight stars in her dark gaze, and a cocky mischief in her smile that matched Lerokan’s.
