Yadeel was in the gym with Beryl when Toryl arrived, and Toyo was on his heels.

Beryl paused while spotting Yadeel on the bench press, and she said, “What is going on?”

Toryl picked up the weight with one hand and set it back on the rack. He took her by the hand and pulled her out of the machine. “Right. Family meeting.”

Yadeel staggered back, and she stepped away from them. “What do you mean?”

Beryl snorted. “You know how things go on W’lyn, the scent and the blood lead the way.”

Toryl waved that off. “Yadeel, when did you know that I was right for you?”

She had a sinking feeling in her stomach. “Who did you talk to?”

“When did you know?”

She looked at the three pairs of eyes staring at her. “I don’t think this is the right time for this?”

Beryl smiled. “How long have you known? Was it your talent? Did it actually show you that Toryl was suited for you? How did that manifest?”

She winced and stepped away, turned around. “Sorryl’s graduation party. I was talking with Auntie Wren and looked over, and you had started glowing white with a green tinge. It was the same glow that I looked for on buffets for things that wouldn’t set off my allergies.”

Beryl blinked. “That was twelve years ago.”

Yadeel nodded. “I am aware of that.”

Toyo snorted. “And he was sleeping with anyone who would have him in those days.”

Yadeel nodded. “Correct. So, it was best for me to leave as soon as my schooling was done.”

Beryl walked over and put her arm around Yadeel. “That must have been infuriating.”

Yadeel chuckled. “It was, but I wasn’t an adult, and beating him to death with a chair wasn’t in the cards because... you know. So, the dark continent was as far away as I could go with restricted tabloid information. It helped.”

Toyo smiled. “I am surprised you were content to wait.”

Yadeel looked at him, and he stepped back. “It was quite clear that I. Wasn’t. His. Type.”

There was a green glow in the room, and Yadeel inhaled and exhaled with her eyes closed. When she opened them, the three guardians were staring at her in surprise.

Beryl was smiling. “Did you get angry just now?”

Yadeel nodded. “A little bit. Why?”

Toryl spoke with a strangled tone. “You burned through your suppressor.”

She grimaced. “Shit. Please excuse me.”

She tried to leave, but Beryl had a grip on her. “I saw the med report. You aren’t going to be using that injector unless you can give me one reason for it.”

Yadeel looked at Beryl. “So that your son stops looking at me like I am edible.”

Toryl took a shallow breath, and he smiled brightly. “Is that better?”

She looked at him, and he had banked the heat. Beryl let her go, and she stalked up to him. “Really?”

His muscles jumped as her scent hit him at close quarters. She walked around him as his body twitched like he was experiencing low-level electrocution.

An alarm sounded, and he exhaled in relief.
