Chapter 462

• Konner took the last turn on the path and then stopped and looked at the pond. Dusk cast highlights on the water and there was no mistaking Terah in the water with the way her skin reflected it. She looked radiant and he couldn’t help thinking of the water spirit folklore again. He didn’t know why he was here. The only males that visited the pond were the mates of women using it. For some reason, this was the direction his feet had taken him when he’d left the office.
• Sleep had been hard to find, even exhausted, but he had managed some before going into the office and starting on the long list of things he had to do. Blair’s housing situation was well in hand and despite the impending arrival of winter, he would have his builds underway this week. Gia would be singing in her custom-made shower with indoor plumbing by the end of the week. It had taken some work to get all the pieces in motion on both, but in the end, money bought the willingness of the shippers to get the supplies to the remote areas.
• He’d checked in with Shaelan to find her processing blood samples herself, which had surprised him until Calum told him that one of the Alliance’s med techs had been on the phone with her for hours walking her through the steps. She explained everything she’d been doing and her findings, and he’d understood about a quarter of what she told him, but the result, combined with her enthusiasm lead him to believe Rae’s babies and subsequent pregnancies in the clan wouldn’t be as difficult.
