3rd POV:

"We must return home soon," Mengí tells Veylo after dinner had finished, needing to get back to their clan.

And although the warrior did not want to leave Lo'ak just yet he nodded in agreement.

"It was an honor to meet you, Toruk Makto. Thank you for agreeing to this meeting" Mengí puts his hands out for Jake to shake.

"The honor was all ours" the Omaticaya leader insists.

As everyone says goodbye Lo'ak feels a pinch in his heart from having Veylo leave.

Go with him.

His conscience speaks to him. He couldn't.

Do it.

Lo'ak shakes his head, something that does not go unnoticed by his true mate.

Veylo steps in front of the younger boy, the rest busy talking to notice anything. He puts a hand on Lo'ak's shoulder, "I'll be back, love, okay? Do not think this is goodbye" he whispers.

"Thank you" Lo'ak whispers back, appreciating the man's words.

"You ready, V?" Mangí calls to his warrior.

Veylo looks at his leader before looking at Lo'ak again, "Thank you for showing me around" he says, needing to have said something that wasn't suspicious.

He steps away from the boy and goes to leave with his leader.

Both true mates go to bed that night thinking of the other. Their body's already craving to be close again.
