“What about your babes?” Peri asked.
“Can’t you flash us back to see them?” Jacque asked. “I’m sure mom and Alina won’t mind taking care of them for a while.”
“Ugh, fine.” Peri huffed, knowing full well that huffing did not become a member of the high fae.
“Quit pretending that you’re upset about taking them with you,”Lucian’s voice purred in her mind.
“I’m not pretending,” Peri snapped, so annoyed that she didn’t even realize that she had responded out loud.
“Your wolf riding your tail?” Jen asked with a smirk.
“Let’s discuss the plan,” Peri told them without answering the Alpha female’s question.
“I love you,”Lucian added before slipping out of her mind.
“I know, wolf. And oddly enough, I love you.”She heard his chuckle, though it sounded like he was far away.
Jacque rubbed her eyes as she stared up at the ceiling. She, Jen, and Peri had been talking for over an hour about their plan to go and check on Sally. Hopefully, if all went well, they could attempt to slowly bring her memory back. Jacque was exhausted, but she was also very excited.
“You two had better keep this blocked from your mates, at least until they’re too far away to do anything about it,” Peri warned the two girls for the hundredth time.
“Why are you acting scared of our mates?” Jen laughed. “You aren’t really afraid of them.”
“There are other things to dread besides injury or death,” Peri told them. “And enduring your pissed off mates is one of those things.”
Jacque couldn’t fault her there. When their mates got wound up about something, they took all of their normal annoying tendencies and intensified them to an almost unbearable degree.
“Are you ever coming to bed, Luna?”Fane’s voice in her mind startled Jacque and she sat up abruptly.
“We got to wrap this up,” Jacque said as she whirled her finger in the air.
“Daddy missing Mommy?” Jen asked with a wink.
Jacque held up her hand to her best friend. “It’s too late for your perverted mind.”
“What better time to be a pervert than late at night?” Jen challenged.
“She’s got a point,” Peri said with a single brow raised.
Jacque rolled her eyes at the fae. “If you’re agreeing with Jen about when being a pervert is appropriate, it’s time to head home and have play time with your white wolf.”
“Jacquelyn?”Fane growled.
“Hold your bloody horses,”she snapped sounding harsher than she’d intended.
“I don’t have any bloody horses. I don’t have any horses. I have a wolf who wants his mate—now.”
Jacque grumbled as she stood to her feet and stretched her hands over her head. “So, the guys head out tomorrow super early—” Jacque began.
“We will leave two hours after them. That will give them plenty of time to have covered some significant ground,” Peri said.
“And you’re sending Cyn away so they can’t bully her into coming and getting us?” asked Jen.
“She and Thalion are already on their way back to his realm. They need to keep an eye on his father.”
“I’ll talk to my mom and Alina about—” Jacque started, but the sound of her cell phone ringing cut her off. She pulled it out of her back pocket and didn’t bother to look at the screen. She had a pretty good idea that it was Fane. “What?” she huffed.
“Alina and I can take care of Slate and Thia,” Lilly’s voice came through the phone smooth and gentle.
