snoozing. After the telepathy session with Daniel during the night hours, I had miraculously gotten a nice rejuvenating sleep. Perhaps now that I understood what and who the heck I was dreaming about, I could settle myself down a bit and get some peace. It had been exciting talking mentally with Daniel last night. I did look forward to another nightly session and was anticipating actually meeting him in the flesh. I would have to ask the gang when that would be. That irritating tapping sound was pecking away at my brain again and getting louder by the second.
    "Am I going to have to throw a bucket of water on you to wake you up?" Dominic had chosen to open my bedroom door and was standing in the door frame, snickering at me.
    "Oh, don't even mention water after my near drowning incident yesterday." I moaned with extra emphasis. "So, what's for breakfast?"
    "It isn't ready yet. I'm working on it so if you need to get cleaned up, you know where the bathroom is. We have more clothes for you and personal goodies. I believe Tessa put a bag in the bathroom for you. Meet up in the kitchen when you're done." Dominic stated with a note of anticipation in his voice. I wondered if he knew about my telepathy experience with Daniel over night. I figured I would tell him later once I got cleaned up.
    "Thanks, Dom," I said as I bounced out of bed. A shower and brushing my teeth sounded so delightful; I scampered off to the community bathroom.
    After I spent a good forty-five minutes in there, I did feel very refreshed and ready to tackle the day's events. I knew without a doubt to expect more experimenting with my capabilities. Dominic more or less conveyed that to me last night at supper. I was really developing a wider and deeper perspective to the significance of this undertaking. Understanding my role in this mission to help the werewolves was important to me. I didn't want to be left out of the loop. I would press Dominic, Eli, or whoever to gain all the knowledge and information I could take in. I didn't want there to be any secrets. So far, I didn't sense any lies or deceit from the group, but I also knew there was so much more to learn about this situation and about werewolf history.
    Breakfast ready? I mentally asked Dominic. I figured any extra practice I could get in using my skills would be beneficial. And Dom would be tickled I was diving into this so wholeheartedly.
    Hurry your butt up. It's been ready for a while now. Dominic pushed at my mind.
    You should know women take longer in the bathroom than men. I can't get ready in just a mere ten minutes like you can, I laughed mentally for him and out loud as I took off for the kitchen.
    He had made quite an impressive amount of food. At least to me it seemed like a lot since all I was used to eating was a boring bowl of lukewarm oatmeal every morning of my life. I dove in with zest and filled my plate with pancakes, eggs and sausage. I could get used to being pampered like this.
    Dominic was partially picking up a few threads of my thoughts and replied, "We're all having a big breakfast and then everyone is on their own for a light lunch of their choosing if they even choose to eat. All this meal cooking takes up so much time, although I do love doing it. If we are on our own for lunches, everyone can get more accomplished working on our tasks then."
    The whole team had assembled at the kitchen table and were vigorously chowing down. This was obviously a common pattern for them of having big breakfasts, little or no lunches and reconvening for a decent supper meal. I could live with that. There was a nice, compassionate feeling in the air as everyone ate, mostly in silence. Minor chit chat, but it always seemed to be their preference to wait until after they ate to begin any major talks.
    Eli, having finished his breakfast, stretched back in the chair and looked over at me. He gave me that warm, fatherly, knowing smile and said, "Kara, I've had an interesting conversation with
