on?
     
    No, the thought that PHD was apart of this. Delia was no longer a threat, but now she had to worry about this Alpha. Take a few days to recuperate and talk to Mark. Try to figure out a game plan.
     
    She hugged Aaron, Yvette and Peter. Stacey had crashed already when she decide to open a portal home. Transporting would have been faster but a portal was safer when she was tired and drained.
     
    So tired that once Ginger went inside the apartment, she was too drained to change or write. Collapsing on the bed in her clothes too tired to change as her eyelids felt heavy as she drifted off to sleep.
     
    The next morning, a knock on her bedroom door zapped Ginger awake. “What?” she thought.
     
    “Would you like some coffee, Ginger?” she heard Adorsa ask.
    “Yeah sure, that’ll be nice,” Ginger mumbled in reply.
     
    She hadn’t bothered to check a mirror or wash her face when she opened the door. Totally forgetting Mark was here. He sat on a stool by the kitchen counter drinking coffee and eating scrambled eggs with a fork.
     
    The smell of bacon hit her. Someone had a goodnight to cause Adorsa to cook. Gretchen was in the sofa, feet kicked up in living room on table. Book in hand and not a care in the world. If only, thought Ginger.
     
    Ginger ran her hand through her hair and Adorsa looked up from filling a mug with steaming hot coffee. She handed it to Ginger and responds, “Don’t worry. It’s only Mark, no need to be shy.”
     
    It took all of Ginger’s willpower to ignore the snide comment and took a sip of the hot beverage to calm herself. Something Ginger could not or didn’t feel like dealing with Adorsa’s humor. Days like today, why had she decided to move in with her? Sure Gretchen was a godsend. Who would have thought!
     
    Before Ginger could think on her decision, she received a plate of bacon and eggs from Mark with a sympathic smile. Ginger thanked him and went to the living room to enjoy the quiet that Gretchen seemed to be taking advantage of.
     
    Eating in silence as Ginger waited for Adorsa to get ready for work. While she showered, Ginger did busy work by doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen.
     
    It shinned from mopped floor, sprayed every surface with disinfected and the appliances were sanitized. She went to shower after Adorsa abandoned the bathroom. It had been a while since she went hiking, maybe she’ll see if Lupio is free. Sitting at her desk, Ginger got wrapped up with her new book concept.
     
                                                                          Chapter 13:
     
    About an hour later, Mark lightly knocked on her door. Once she opened the door Ginger hadn’t realized that Adorsa and Gretchen cleared out while she had been working. In the past, being alone with Mark would have been a recipe for instant attraction.
     
    Their chemistry was undeniable but ever since she met Lucas that had changed. It was probably too early to call it destiny or fate, but they just seemed to fit together.
     
    He complemented her. She felt intertwined with him like two halves of a whole finally coming together. Ginger smiled up at Mark and his talk frame filled the doorway. She took a step toward the living room to leave the comfort of her bedroom to the communal space.
     
    She no longer felt compelled to this man so why have him in her room. There was no need to confuse things or give the wrong impression. They sat and she didn’t beat around the bush. No point.
     
    “What did you see when you went through her memories,” Ginger asks.
     
    He huffs and states, “A lot. That woman has been through a ton of traumatic events. All I know is she has no parents. She is like Malcolm, made by powerful people with their own agendas without regard to human decency.”
     
    Shaking her hand, Ginger nodded and replies, “Do you know who made her? Was it Spider or another elder?”
    “I know who made it.
