The last Klimnu attack had a much deeper impact on Ero than he thought it would. Ever since he found Leia after she killed her captor, he has been filled with aggression, anger, and a sense of violence that he just can't shake. It has caused him to get into several fights with the other warriors, who are always able to get the upper hand because Ero is so much smaller than they are. Eventually, he turns to running. He runs farther, faster, and harder than he has ever run, trying to escape the strange emotions and uncomfortable physical effects.

After days of his nameless mate being in some sort of coma, Gyyx can't take it anymore. Eliana gave him the key to make her better, but he didn't feel right, and after all the testing Ciyrs has put her through, he knows it's time to test the theory, but he still feels weird about it. He takes her home and hopes his touch will bring her back to life. He can't go on without knowing who she is, or what she suffered in the hands of the Klimnu. But when she wakes up, will Gyyx be able to convince her he isn't taking advantage of her or like the ones who kept her prisoner?

Zuri can't believe she let herself fall into the arms of the arrogant jerk who thinks that she is too big to be respected. Now that she's slept with Ero in the heat of the moment, she knows she can't stay on Uoria any longer. The combination of the Klimnu attack, the insulting jokes, and the fact that she can't stop thinking about the beautiful warrior and wishing she was back in his arms is enough to make her run, and she does, right back to Earth. Is this the end of Ero and Zuri?

Ciyrs has never felt so out of control of his emotions ever in his life. He hates losing control and finds his newly reformed temper to be agonizing. He can't sleep and is exhausted, but has a feeling something big is on the horizon. When the new journalist Eliana shows up, he quickly learns why he was a basket case. She's his mate. The tiny woman has walls like no other. And, as he fights to get her to trust him, things heat up.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I have seen many relationships strengthened with a hands-on approach to slow down the emotional rollercoaster kids and caregivers can get stuck on. From courses in ethics to family systems theory, I teach future clinicians how to put theory into practice in a meaningful way. I have seen that it is possible to use tools like mindfulness in the therapeutic process and that we model healthy behavior for our kids when we do.
