Chapter 5

~To’Kah~

“Where is he?” Delinda asks me for about the hundredth time.

“Rex has gone to find him...” I start but she gives me a baleful glare.

“I know that. I also know where he is, but why isn’t he coming back here. I ordered Rex to tell him.”

I shake my head at her. “He isn’t going to appreciate that in the slightest.”

She opens her mouth to speak again, but Rex lands in front of her with a smile and a soft kiss to her lips. His eyes light up in her presence and it makes me glad. He was so hard and cold for so long after Lianna and Trey betrayed him. It makes me glad that he has opened up to her, and not just for himself, but for her as well. If she’d married him and he’d remained an asshole, it would have made her life miserable.

“He’s coming,” Rex says. “He just needs to fix his face.”

“What?” Delinda splutters.

“He was a bit of a dick. I put him in his place.” Rex shrugs.

“What happened?” I ask with a sigh.

Delinda looks like she is about to blow a gasket and if those flaming hands make a comeback, I’m going to have to leave. I have never been afraid of her before, even knowing her power far out matches mine, but that earlier was terrifying. It hit me deep inside and I froze. Rex might be pissed off with Pres but I’m glad he at least had the capacity to extinguish the fire. I was completely useless. It is eating at me because I have no idea the root of the problem. Why now? Why with this?

“Hmm?” I murmur as Delinda elbows me in the side.

She and Rex are looking at me expectantly, but I have no idea what they’d said, so lost in my thoughts was I.

“You okay?” she asks, taking my hand.

I give her a bright smile. “Yes, of course.”

Fortunately, I’m let off the hook by the arrival of the Beta.

Delinda turns to him and gives him a ferocious glare that he, to his credit and her annoyance, doesn’t flinch from.

“I apologize,” he says quickly though, still afraid of her wrath. “I was...”

“It’s okay,” she also says quickly, her cheeks going a bit red.

I frown at her. What is she trying to cover up? Something that Pres knows obviously by the slight nod he gave her, but the hard look in his eyes tells me that whatever it is, isn’t over.

“I have something to say,” she adds, and pulls away from me to walk over to the fireplace.

Rex helps her to the floor, where she makes herself comfortable as he sits behind her with his legs open so she can lean against him.

Pres and I follow, sitting cross-legged so that we can see her.

“So, by my calculations, it’s coming up to December 25th on Earth,” she starts. “My mother always has a big gathering at Christmas time...”

Rex and I groan in unison and she sits up sharply, grimacing at us.
