Arwel

As Yamanu cast a small shroud, Arwel ignited the contents of the trash can.

Before dumping the bag with the trainees’ clothes, they had swiped the tracker detection device over it, but the thing kept flashing green, which was worrisome.

Arwel found it hard to believe that the recruits hadn’t had any on them. Were they tracking them through the walkie talkies that they had left behind in the mall? Probably, but not only. The government must have developed trackers that the device couldn’t pick up.

Regardless of the technology and materials used though, the fire would take care of that, melting the delicate circuitry in the miniature devices.

As he and Yamanu waited for the smoke to disperse, the rest of the team went to load up on snacks from the rest stop’s vending machines. It was miserable fare compared to Jackson’s pastries and sandwiches, but that’s what was available, and it would have to suffice until they found a decent takeout joint.

Finally, when the smoke was gone, they walked over to where the rest of the group was waiting.

“I’m going to miss you all so much.” Carol hugged Arwel and then Yamanu.

She’d already shed quite a few tears saying goodbye to Ella and her other friends.

It seemed to bother Lokan.

Standing with his hands in his pockets, he looked on with a grim expression on his face, and it wasn’t because he was jealous that his mate was hugging and kissing her male cousins.

The feelings that Arwel was picking up on were helplessness and irritation, the second probably resulting from the first. Lokan didn’t like seeing Carol sad, and he liked even less not being able to do anything about it.

“I’ll see you when I see you.” Carol wiped a tear with the back of her hand. “You should come to visit me. It’s much easier than the other way around.”

“I’ll do my best.” Arwel cast a glance at Jin, who was talking with Syssi.

It wasn’t going to happen anytime soon because he was going to be busy wooing a girl.

How? He had no clue. Not yet.

Lucky for him, Arwel had no shortage of advisers. Amanda would gladly put her matchmaker hat on and assist, and he might even enlist Mey’s help. She should know what her sister liked or disliked about guys.

After another round of hugs and kisses with the girls, Carol took Lokan’s hand, and they got into their car.

“Why is she so sad?” Jin asked.

Syssi put her hand on her shoulder. “Carol and Lokan live in Washington, and she misses her family.”

“I get it,” Jin said. “I missed Mey during the month that I didn’t see her, and I miss my parents terribly.” She sighed. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to see them again. This really is like diving into a rabbit hole.”

Syssi laughed softly. “I felt the same way. But I find the world on the other side of that wormhole beautiful.” She glanced at her mate. “I have more than I could’ve ever dreamt of.”

Jin looked like she wanted to ask Syssi questions, but Jacki was standing right next to her.
