words rang clear through the room and her heart was a bit lighter. Somehow that feeling of hope was bubbling up to the surface again, even if she had no real reason to think the future would be any better than the present.
“I think we’re going to be good friends, Jaci. I’ll look for you in a day or two. Until then, take care.”
Jaci took his words to heart. She would have to be extra careful not to show her expanding emotions.
They were getting stronger all the time now and each new revelation stunned her with its intensity.
“I love you, Harry.” Callie said to her brother, signing off with clear affection for her sibling, so far away.
They ended the communication and Jaci just sat there in shock for a moment. So much had happened in such a short time.
“I don’t know what to say.”
Callie laughed, putting her small hand over Jaci’s and passing some of that amazing empathic warmth to her, making her feel slightly better. Jaci marveled at the small Breed woman’s intense power.
“Say you won’t mind when I request Mara sends you from now on to check my baby’s progress. I like you, Jaci, and I want to help you.”

Jaci felt a tear slip from her eye. This woman had a huge heart and Jaci could learn a thing or two from her. Silently, she nodded, unable to speak lest her emotions get the best of her. It was a terrifying feeling, but it was also sublime in its way.

“You’re the one who warned us when that other tech was coming,”Mike accused the new voice in his mind telepathically. They’d been talking back and forth for a good half hour or more now since Harry had sought them out.
“Guilty as charged. I monitor the pens from time to time to see how they’re treating everyone, but my mother doesn’t know it. She’d be pissed if she found out, so keep it quiet, okay?”
“Why? Who’s your mother?”Dave’s tone was suspicious. They really didn’t know who this guy was except that he was an incredibly strong telepath and undoubtedly human. Or was he?
They could actually feel his sigh in their minds . “I’m half-Alvian. My mother is the lead scientist in this city, Mara 12. My father is human. His name is Justin O’Hara. The Alvians call me Hara, but I prefer Harry.”
“We’ve heard rumors about you, kid. Son of a bitch. They actually did it. They bred with a human just to see how the baby would turn out.”Mike was clearly disgusted by the idea.
But Dave was more understanding. “You’ve probably had it pretty rough, Harry. Thanks for leveling with us. And thanks for the warning the other day. You saved Jaci a lot of trouble.”
“My sister filled me in on what happened to her. Tough break. But my Uncle Caleb says it’s one more link in the chain that will save humanity. He’s a strong precog and he hasn’t been wrong yet.”
“You think what happened to Jaci is a good thing?”Dave’s question was cautious.
“More importantly, does your precognitive uncle believe it?”Mike was more practical, as usual.

“Let’s put it this way,”Harry said seriously, “if she turns out to be compatible with one or both of you, you’ll celebrate the day she got sloppy in the lab. Having a true mate is a blessing, especially now that human women are so scarce. I know, I’ve seen the relationship my father has with my step-mother and the one my sister has with her mates. They’re lucky people and if either of you are so lucky as to have already found your mate, you’ll have my eternal envy.”
“So how do we know if she’s this? what did you call it ? resonance mate? She told us about the humming phenomenon, but she didn’t have time to tell us the rest and we weren’t able to find much on the viewer.” David’s question was clinical, but excited nonetheless.
“My sister gave her a crystal. The next time you’ve got her to yourselves, put the crystal nearby, then take her in your arms.”
“I think I like the sound of these
