Chapter 9

Once again Berta awoke at dawn, only this time she was smiling before her eyes were opened, her first thought that she would see the Falcorans again this morning. The day before had been very busy for her, but she had still thought of the Falcorans almost constantly. She’d finally allowed herself to admit that she thought them to be strikingly handsome with their long, graceful bodies and uniquely colored eyes with the matching streaks in their hair. Unfortunately, once she’d made the admission, she’d been unable to stop thinking about them.

She’d watched from the window as they transformed into their falcoran alter-forms the previous morning, and she was captivated by their beauty, power, and grace. She’d seen the Lobos, Bearens, Dracons, and even the Katres transform during her months on the ranch, and while all of their alter-forms were certainly magnificent creatures, she hadn’t considered them to be beautiful. Not like the Falcorans.

The only thing that confused her about them was whether they were mammals, or birds. Except for their coloring and their size, they looked just like Earth falcons. Well, that and the fact that they had fur rather than feathers. She decided to ask them about that the next time she saw them.

Which would be very soon, she reminded herself as she sat up and stretched. She tossed back the comforter and hopped out of bed, filled with excited energy as she headed for the shower. She was looking forward to meeting them so much that she’d actually had a difficult time settling down to sleep the night before. Thankfully, she’d been exhausted from her long, hectic day, and eventually fell asleep.

After her shower, she left the bathroom and turned on her vid terminal to check her messages while she combed out her hair. There were messages from two male-sets who had identified their Arimas from the pheromone samples. Lobos and Katres. Another message from the garrison commander informed her that both male-sets had arrived overnight and had been assigned a Rami House. They awaited a message from her as to when they could visit.

She set her comb down and sent a message to both male-sets, welcoming them and offering her congratulations. She informed both of them that she would speak to their respective Arimas at breakfast and inform them what time they could visit afterward.

She sent her messages just as two more came in. The first one was from Elder Vulpiran of the Jasani Council, so she opened it first. She read it quickly, smiling as she did. Three more male-sets had reacted to the pheromone samples and would be leaving on a Council transport for the ranch in a couple of hours. She wrote back, thanking him, then jotted down the male-sets names, and the women they had identified as their Arimas. Another Lobo male-set, one Bearen, and a Vulpiran.

She leaned back in her chair for a moment as she thought about it. In the last few moments she had learned that five different male-sets had identified their Arimas.
