Nothing I Can Say

"I want to go home," August said quietly, pleading with Nedra with her eyes. "Let's try this so I can go home. Please."

How could Nedra say no to that? The pregnant Luna wanted to go home, and she couldn't blame her. She couldn't keep her from returning to her mate now that Zagan was no longer making her stay, and who knows what the rest of them would do with the creature once she left if they didn't give this a try.

Nedra swallowed uneasily. Her throat felt so dry. "Okay, let's try it."

August's face brightened in response to Nedra's agreement. "Thank you."

"I just need a few minutes. How about we all take a break?" Nedra suggested.

She didn't wait to hear a response from the others before turning to return to the castle. Maybe she was just still tired. Maybe that is why she was finding it so difficult to find it within herself to do something so selfless like that again for another vampire.
