connected with several wolf packs,” Rafe began. “I’ve explained our goal to them. I have to admit, most of them are deeply suspicious of the plan, but most have agreed.”
    “Good,” Magda said. “That’s good. Have you given them our schedule?”
    “Yes. They’ve agreed to share the schedule with other groups in their network.”
    “Well, that’s a start,” Magda said.
    “And we’ve contacted as many witch covens as we can. They are spreading the word as well,” said Circe. “Things are progressing well, Magdalena. We will succeed.”
    “I hope so,” she said, giving her friends a fake smile. Things were progressing fast enough. She would have been much happier if the group had stayed in the fourth dimension longer during the meditation.
    She got up from her chair and excused herself. She knew everyone was worried about her, but the pressure was really getting to her. She needed to be alone.
    Magdalena hurried down the hallway and into the chamber she shared with Michael, hoping to find him there. He usually spent his time in their rooms or patrolling the cavern, interacting with the people. He usually spent this time of day in solitary meditation, but today he was absent.
    She searched all the rooms looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Sighing deeply, she flopped back on the bed and looked up at the glossy white ceiling made of some kind of metallic looking plastic. She wanted to tell him they’d made progress. Whatever little progress that might have been.
    Long moments passed and she sat up from the bed and went into the kitchen area of their shared chamber. She had the food processing machine make her a salad and a bowl of noodles, and she sat at the table to eat. The processed food was always perfect for her taste buds so the experience satisfied her hunger.
    After she was done, she put her dishes and utensils in the auto-clean and went to the living room to sit on one of the white couches that furnished the room. Closing her eyes, she sank into the depths of her meditation.
    Her consciousness dipped through a tunnel and came out into the white light of the fourth dimension. A haunting feeling overtook her and somehow she knew that Michael was gone and not coming back.
    She came out of her meditation with a shocked intake of breath. She didn’t want to believe it could be possible that he would leave her. They would be lost without him, and she had no idea what to do next. Anger and despair flooded her senses. How could he do this?
    Springing from her seat, she was determined to find him, though deep down she knew her fourth dimension insights were correct. Magdalena stormed out of her chamber and into the main hallway. For the rest of the day she searched for him. She asked everyone she met if they’d seen him, but no one had.
    Cassie told her to go back to her chamber and get some rest, and that Michael would surely turn up soon. Magda didn’t want to rest. She knew he was gone. With nothing left to do, she went back to her chamber and passed out late in the night.
    She slept late the next morning and missed meditation practice. She woke to Circe knocking at her door. Magda let her in and the older woman swept into her chamber with an air of superiority that made Magda sick to her stomach. She watched Circe sit down, her long auburn hair glinting in the full-spectrum lights.
    “You need to snap out of it and grow up, Magda. If Michael is gone, he’s gone. But we have a mission to accomplish with or without him. I know you love the man, but you must pull yourself together and start thinking of your people. We all have responsibilities and it is time that you live up to yours.”
    “I don’t have to do anything, Circe,” Magda bit out. With every moment she was growing angrier “I’m tired of people telling me what do to. I’m tired of all of this.” She started for the door.
    “Where are you going?” Circe asked.
    “I’m leaving.”
    “Magda, you can’t. We need you.
