Chapter 41

“You’re supposed to relax Carter.” “I am relaxed.” Traeger offered her mate an unbelieving smile but said nothing. This meditation session was her idea. A way to get them both in better touch with their souls and their bond by extension. Traeger thought it might help Carter release the hidden anguish on her end. But so far the submarine remained skeptical. She felt her reach along the bond instinctively and run smack into Traeger’s mental block she’d put around Arleigh’s revelation. “You’re hiding something from me, dear.” Despite her calm tone, Carter’s disapproval was keenly felt. “Am I not entitled to my secrets? As are you.” Traeger asked. “The few my nosy sister hasn’t shared yet.” Carter replied. Traeger purred. “Connecticut has told me a lot. But there are things about you even she does not know.” “I still wish you’d tell me what you’re hiding. I sense it is something I need to know.” Carter begged. “It is but I am not ready to share it yet.” Traeger replied slowly.
