We were captured in suspended animation orbs by Utuduodian hunters. I’d left you with your grandmother in her home while we patrolled. She’d wanted to go back for a few weeks because she missed her friends. I’d wanted to keep you with me, but she insisted on taking you so they’d see how big you were getting.” “No,” Cyneolle rasped. “I still remember that. I was taken to the alpha leader of the wolf bane pack on that planet. Your mother was still a part of that pack. The leader wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be a problem for him when I grew up. He beat me to within an inch of my life. Grandmother did not know what to do, so she allowed some visiting cyborgs to take me and repair the damage done by the alpha leader of her pack. When he heard what she had done, he killed her. I was far from that planet before the war even broke out. When everything started, they just took me away and brought me here.

Cyneolle remained quiet. “I do not, but I know many who would excel at establishing a new and better system where equanimity reigns.” Behind her, she felt Ashriel nod. “I want Anniel out of here. No arguments.” She opened her mouth to protest and pushed at Ashriel’s restricting wing, but Seth cut her off, “Agreed.” “What? Wait,” she snapped. “It is better. You are with child,” Cyneolle added to her surprise. She scowled. “I’m sure there are other pregnant women on this planet. I just need to get to Remi so he can fix my eyes and I want in on this mission.” Three masculine voices echoed the same thing, “No.” She opened her mouth to argue, but Ashriel scooped her up into his arms. The feel of his hard, half-naked body against hers had her toes curling, especially when she unthinkingly wrapped her arm around his thick neck and felt the softness of his hair and wings against her forearm.
