objection.

IanaТs eyes shadowed, staring at her belly. УThey know.Ф


УSo they just pass us from man to man until weТre pregnant?Ф Diana cried.

Iana nodded. УYouТll have short breaks after each nine days and when your moontime
comes, but even that will stop after a time. Raedjour cycles are different from humans.Ф

УHow long does it take?Ф Gala asked in a tiny voice.

УTo find your truemate?Ф Iana clarified. УIt varies. From my own experience, I lost

again wobbly.

УDiana, are you all right?Ф Gala asked, immediately at her side, though she was wobbly

The door opened and the first male -- the sorcerer -- walked in. УIana,Ф he greeted his
truemate in commonspeak. УI trust youТve had a nice chat with our guests?Ф

УYou son of a skunk!Ф Diana spat, still struggling to stand with GalaТs help. She lost the

УI wonТt give in to you.Ф

УThatТs the spirit,Ф Iana cheered, glaring at her mate. УFight him, Diana. Fight him with

УIana, thatТs enough,Ф he admonished.

УThis isnТt happening,Ф Diana gasped, trying to lock her arms to keep from collapsing to
the floor.

УDeny all you like,Ф Iana said, not unkindly. УBut, believe me, itТs happening.Ф

That was the last Diana heard before the world went black.
