章 123: Chapter 123: Marinah: Del Rey (Love Island)

I miss King. Four days is too long to be separated, and I crave him like crazy. My head is clearer now. The meditation didn’t just help, it gave me what’s been missing. Cosway and her calm understanding helped too. She has a different way of looking at the world, and now it’s rubbed off on me.

I know what we need to do. The Shadow Warriors are not ready to attack the Federation on the mainland. The humans at the outposts aren’t ready either. We only have one option, and King won’t like it.

“I pack bags,” Cosway says from the door. I never mentioned we were leaving. She senses what’s inside me before I understand it myself.

I hold up a hand before she leaves the room. “I want to meditate before we go.” She gives a smile over her shoulder when she walks away. I pick up her cat and give it the affection I’d rather be giving Callie. King is another story. I need his arms around me. He’s a part of me and I’m not whole without him.
