may never be friends, Prime Medic, but I do respect you, and I respect your bond with Kat. She confessed to me that she didn’t want to bother you with anything because you were so stressed and busy.”
    “Kitana! I’m trying to do my duty to my people and to my mate. I don’t want to leave her here while I’m away.”
    “Then don’t. Let me go to Kiljor. I have experience now with several births, and I feel that I know what to do in a critical situation. You remain here and spend time with your family.” This was the perfect solution. He needed some space, and this should allow him to have it. It would help Kat and SydEL’s relationship as well. He loved her enough to want her to be happy in her mating.
    SydEL looked out the window in deep thought. “I don’t know. It’s not that I don’t think you can handle this assignment, but it’s a big responsibility.”
    For a moment, JadEN’s excitement died down. Would SydEL allow his personal feelings toward him interfere with making the most logical decision?
    Finally SydEL turned his way again and nodded his head. “I’ll let Prime Leader KadEN and Commander TylOR know that you’ll be heading up the team traveling to Kiljor. I know that you will do an excellent job and represent Katiera well.” He walked to the door and paused. “On a personal note, I want to just say that I could not help what I felt for Kat. Nor would I change it.”
    “Why are you telling me this now?” JadEN asked, looking at the other male. At one time, they’d been friends.
    “I believe your desire to go to Kiljor is because of what happened with Kat. I know my mating Kat hurt you and for that I’m sorry. But I will never be sorry for taking her as my mate. It was destined to be that way. I wish you success on your mission and a safe return.” With that, Prime Medic SydEL left.

    Rose went to the morning meal and was waved over to a table that Dr. Elizabeth Connell—Lizzie—was sitting at with her mate, Kiljorn Commander TylOR. She smiled at them. “Good morning. When did you come back to Katiera?”
    “Last evening. I’m so thrilled to have my feet back on solid ground again. Come sit and eat with us,” Lizzie said as she waved a hand to an empty seat across from her.
    Commander TylOR’s comm link beeped. “This is Commander TylOR. Yes, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” He turned to his mate. “I’m sorry, they need me in the operations room. Will you be okay for an hour or two without me?”
    Lizzie gave him a dazzling smile. “I’ll be fine. You can make it up to me tonight.” She wiggled her eyebrows up and down.
    He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her softly before standing and leaving. “I promise to make it worth your while.”
    Rose tried to look anywhere but at the loving couple. She hated feeling so envious. She breathed a sigh of relief when he stood up and left them.
    “How is Lola doing?”
    Lizzie smiled. “She and LarIS are ecstatic over the baby. I miss her so much.”
    “How long do you plan to stay on Katiera?”
    “Not long. We’ve come back upon the request of the Kiljorn Prime Leader KadEN. The Kiljorns are starting to return to their home world now that most of the repairs to the living quarters have been taken care of.  Repairs are still going on, and they’re building a new medic wing to replace the old one, which is overcrowded and falling apart. But the approval was given for some of the citizens to return home.”
    “How are the survivors handling the whole displacement situation?”
    “There are some who are still suffering from the trauma of the Morin attack and from having to be relocated several times. But their biggest worry is over the Kiljorn women who are pregnant. There have been some issues with the pregnancies. We came to see Prime Medic SydEL and Dr. Morris for more assistance. Hopefully we’ll get the volunteers we need and can return to Kiljor as soon as possible.”
    Rose knew that the enemy called the Morins
