sister. I’ll find you to thank you for treating her so well. Praising you can only help your career, right?”
“I don’t give a shit about my career.”
Rick chuckled at her use of the human expletive that seemed to have become her favorite.
“I can understand that, given what’s been happening to you, but you can’t let my mother and her pals know that.”
Suddenly she remembered just who she was talking to. Hara was the son of Mara 12 and a Breed male with Hara DNA. Jaci knew because she was a member of Mara 12’s staff, though Hara’s origins weren’t a matter of public knowledge. He was half-Alvian and related to one of the most important scientists in the city. Undoubtedly he was watched closely, but he also deserved great respect, just by virtue of his DNA?Mara and Hara together was a formidable mix.
“So, I’m going to find you when you get back, to thank you for being nice to my sister and you’re going to become my friend. My mother knows how close I am to Callie.”
“Why would you want to be my friend?” She was dumbfounded by the generosity of these people she’d only just met.

Hara chuckled and it warmed her. “I think you need all the friends you can get right now, Jaci. There are precious few of us with entry to the Alvian culture who can understand and experience emotion. I’m hoping in the long-term we can help our human friends and family by influencing Alvian society for positive change and understanding.”
“I’d be happy if they’d just leave me alone,” Jaci grumbled.
“I understand your feelings, but what about your friends? What about Mike, Dave and Ruth and her baby? Don’t you want them to have a better life too?”
“I do,” she said softly, “but what can I do to help that? I’m only a Jaci and not of high rank.”
“Let me worry about that, sweetheart.” Hara’s voice was calming and soothed her distraught senses, even over the crystal. Only one other man had ever called her by that human endearment and she desperately wanted to feel his arms around her again.
“Tell David I miss him,” she said softly, “and that I won’t let him touch me again unless he promises not to drain himself.”
There was a short silence while she imagined Hara passing on the message telepathically.
“He says you can try to keep him away, but you won’t succeed.” He chuckled. “And Mike’s jealous as hell.”
Her heart lifted for the first time. “Tell Michael not to worry. I miss him too. Just as much.”
“Just so you get the full picture, she Hums with both of them.” Callie chimed in, sharing Jaci’s secret with her brother.
“Really?” Hara sounded interested and a bit amused. “Well, that’s a nice development. Shall I explain to them what it could mean?”
Jaci’s heart started pounding. “I tried, but there was no time. We only have about ten minutes each day.
This is all still so new.”
“Well, I have all night to talk with them now that we’ve established contact. I can tell them about the tests if you like, and my own observations of my father’s mating with 48
Mama Jane, as well as my sister’s experience. It might help. Resonance mates are a wholly Alvian concept and not something they would have experienced in the old world.”
“I think that’s a good idea, Harry,” Callie told her brother. “I’ve given her a small crystal she can use to do the tests. If they are mates…” She let the sentence drift off.
“If either or both of those men find that Jaci is their true mate, I’ll do all in my power to see they can be together. It’s the least the Alvians owe humanity for taking and changing their world. But we have to take this one step at a time, and I’m going to talk to Papa Caleb too. Maybe he’s seen something.”
“Thank you, Hara. I fully realize that you don’t have to do any of this for me and I can only surmise you are a wise and kind person. You have my gratitude.” Jaci’s formal
