Janae sat by the window in Khalzin's apartment, gazing out at the sky and the green foliage as it turned into night. The sun cast an orange-pink shadow over everything, making the greenery seem gray beneath her as it descended into the horizon. Another world that she couldn't understand. One that was different than where she came from.

Maybe that was it.

Maybe it was too much of a difference, and that's why she felt so detached from it. It seemed impossible to believe everything around her.

A new world.

Mating with a Kantenan.

That her envoy had been attacked, and now they were stuck here for the foreseeable future.

The mate who chose her was some kind of prince.

Her friends were hurt. Some might even be dead.

It all seemed like a bad story, one that had a writer with a sick and twisted sense of entertainment.

It couldn't be real.

A bird flew by, and she should have marveled at it because she never got to see actual avian flying. Instead, she was too lost in thoughts about her friends. And acquaintances. Even those she wasn't that close with, like Roemary and Sereya. Sereya had at least spoken to her with respect before in the hanger. Roemary was her usual self, but Janae realized that was just her personality.

Adryel was alive, and that was a relief. When she saw that curly red hair, she sprinted toward her, determined to make sure it really was her and not a figment of her imagination. Seeing that Adryel was well brought a good deal of peace back to her. Nonetheless, the news that Graecey was one of the people who fell made Janae sick to her stomach. She didn't deserve to die like that. What a horrible way to go. Part of her hoped that Graecey was alive, down over the edge somewhere, but most likely, if she were hurt, she'd be in pain, and it would be an awful wait on death or someone to find her.

No, she hoped that if Graecey was down there, she wasn't enduring any pain. She kept staring out the window, her mind wrapped around what those last moments must have been like to tumble into nothingness and then be hit with that final stab of pain just before death.

A couple of tears rolled down her face, and she brushed them away just as quickly. She didn't want her new mate to see them if he felt like he needed to comfort her or some such thing.

He was doing something in the food replicator area. There were smells from the food he prepared, but she wasn't hungry. He said something about making her some if she changed her mind.

Maybe later.

Getting used to eating only once or twice a day made every meal stick to her longer.

The only thing she could think that she wanted at this point was a drink of liquor or synthol or whatever they had here. Something that would numb the mind a little and help her relax.

Because the tension in
