There was shadow where there had been light. Maya looked up, and there was a man staring down at her that she only knew from news vids and reports. He was wearing the standard guardian uniform. He crouched next to her, and she sat up. âSo, you are what all the fuss is about. I must confess, I havenât seen UV-sensitive markings before.â
She sat up and looked around. The other two were in the front of the boat, and Heron looked like he was trying to fish. The boat was still.
âUm, who are you?â She ran a hand through her hair.
âOh. Playing dumb. Not an attractive trait, but I will explain. I am Shock. My teammates have called me in to see if I am suitable to be the third member of your court. So far, I am not seeing the attraction.â
She noticed that her skirt was high on her legs, which definitely wasnât how she had started napping. She pulled her skirt down into place. âOkay. Right. So, what the fuck is with your attitude? Yes or no? I donât need you to call me dumb or unattractive. I have had a very trying two days, and your teammates are trying to lock in their favourites so that they wonât have to hang out with strangers during parent-teacher conferences.â
She surged to her feet and prodded him in the chest until he thudded to his backside. He gripped her arm and twisted, so she kicked him in the jaw. His head snapped to the side, and he released her arm.
âYou are training in combat?â
âIn my off time. You are pretending to be a guardian? Way to grab an unarmed woman.â She sneered.
He blinked, and his silvery eyes were confused. âI thought you were going to try to seduce me?â
âWhy? Every other man around here is trying to crawl inside me, and it is exhausting. I am not saying that I donât appreciate your teammates, but some of the other men who have cornered me have been repulsive and looking for an easy mark. A woman who hasnât figured out her worth.â
Boran looked confused, and Heron just seemed to have noticed him. He ran up and made a polite bow.
âUncle Boran. Are you here visiting?â
Heron climbed into Mayaâs arms, and she kissed him on the forehead. âWe both had a nap, huh, little man?â
Heron grinned. âI swam a lot.â
âMe too.â
Boran looked at her and Heron then the boyâs father as Huron came in. âHey, guy. You were supposed to stay with me and Uncle Argo to let Boran meet her.â
âItâs fine, Huron. I didnât meet Boran. I met Shock, and Shock is stuck-up.â
Huron blinked. âYou know better.â
Maya stroked Heronâs hair. âYes, but he doesnât know that I know. I will look for a third elsewhere. I already have one in mind. He was pretty aggressive about it, so he will probably be amenable.â
Huron frowned. âWho?â
âDoctor Lylwin. He was checking on my genetic fusion, and it was he that
