Chapter Sixteen

The next few days passed in relative peace. T’gaira had felt obligated to notify Emlan’s father about her disappearance but managed to get hold of him in time to prevent him from heading to Eccalia with the full force of the Yehrin fleet behind him. T’lan sent a message urging her to come back to Earth, but while she sent back her love and assurances of her safety, she did not yet think that it was time to return. Tren continued to work with Master Chan Caina, seeming to find a degree of serenity in the exercises from the rage that still haunted him. The knowledge that he had been able to master it in order to come to her aid had buoyed his confidence, and the ongoing sessions also helped. In addition, she was still not quite sure how the return to their former home on Earth would affect him. As for her, she missed her family of course, but it was really no different than being on one of her business trips. For now, she was content just to be with Tren.

Her horn healed, although, as T’gaira had predicted, it was now scarred. But she found the scar did not bother her. In fact, her horns no longer bothered her. She had always styled her hair so that the blonde curls obscured the small black nubs as much as possible, but as she looked at herself in the mirror one morning, she realized she no longer felt the need to hide. Combing her hair away from them instead, she studied her face in the mirror. No, she didn’t look entirely human and neither did she look entirely Yehrin, but this was who she was, and she was at peace with that for the first time in a very long time.

Even T’gaira seemed content—although that may have been partially due to the amount of time he was spending with Lady Chara Alldan. He frequently spent the evenings with her although he always returned to help guard the house overnight. Even though the incident with Harvey didn’t make her feel unsafe on this peaceful planet, a Yehrin guard was now stationed outside their house at all times. She rolled her eyes and did her best to ignore the parade of warriors. Growing up under her father’s overprotective eye had taught her that sometimes it was easier just to give in.

Their peaceful days came to an abrupt end. They had just finished their evening meal and T’gaira was preparing to leave when his wrist com beeped. He gave it a casual glance, then stiffened. His claws tapped rapidly at the device while he muttered to himself in Yehrin.

Tren also tensed and she put her hand on his arm, feeling the tightness in the strong muscles.

“What’s wrong?” she asked softly.

“I am not sure, but that is a high priority signal.”

After a few more minutes of tapping and muttering, T’gaira frowned at them across the table.

“Commander T’kol requests our presence on Quatar,” he said grimly.
