She bit her lip, and he laughed.

Dmitri cocked his head. “You don’t have a full mark to your alpha.”

“We just met yesterday.” She blushed.

“Ah. In that case, Yukaro, what are you waiting for?”

Yukaro snorted. “Quiet. She has been used without her permission or consent. Trust is key, and when she is ready, things will happen quickly. That will mean a return to my islands. This mark will get the point across to others, and I do like a fight.”

Ysma snorted. “So, I am bait?”

“Adorable and monster-class bait.” He squeezed her arms.

“That doesn’t sound as cute as your tone would indicate.”

Dmitri laughed. Yukaro slowly wrapped his arms around her.

Visions of the incoming visitors flickered through her mind. “Oh dear. I need some coffee.”

Chapter Eight

Dmitri got Nelith and Yukaro. Jeron and Ysma took a short trip to a few shops to get everyone into comfortable clothing. After that, Ysma got her coffee.

Jeron took some snacks to Xeva, and they sat at a small shop with a view of the open ocean.

Xeva said, “So, how does it feel to be free?”

“Well, I was enjoying it until I snagged on something.” She sipped her iced coffee and looked at Yukaro. “Now, I think it will be fun in a different way.”

Yukaro smiled and ate a cupcake. “Nice save.”

“Oh, all of us have plenty of operational intelligence; we are just a little weird with the emotional stuff.”

Dmitri smiled. “Yes, I would agree with that.”

Nelith elbowed him, and she was suddenly sitting next to a bear that wrapped her in his arms. She scratched his chin and was set back on a chair with Dmitri next to her.

“Too hot for the bear?”

“Yeah. Nice to curl up with on cool nights though.”

Dmitri laughed.

Nelith looked at Ysma. “So, you have a bunch of skills?”

“Yes. I acquire them through contact.”

“Including seer skills?”

“Yeah. It’s the only direct psychic skill I have.”

“Who is coming?”

“Uh, a bunch of dangerous team members. Torun and Zera are coming, too, which makes me think like I got in trouble with the principal.”

Nelith sipped her drink. “I am in trouble with the principal. They don’t want me leaving Aksalla.”

Dmitri chuckled. “Tough.”
