Chapter Fourteen

He would much rather be with his woman than touring the hotel. But she had needed the time from him, he had had no difficulty understanding or seeing that. He’d give her that time, for when she realized that he was in the right of it, she would have little time away from him. A proper demon woman would know that her place was beside her demon’s side, especially while carrying his spawn.

He must keep her safe.

“Where does Kindara sleep?” His question was bold and it earned him surprised looks from all but Rand and Jason. They knew him well enough to know that if he didn’t receive a satisfactory answer he would simply find her rooms himself. Nothing would keep him from her side.

“I doubt that she would want me sharing that information with you.” Aureliana, their redheaded host, eyed Rathan with a considering glint in yellow eyes. One feminine hand rested lightly on the hilt of a sword as she looked at him. This was a woman warrior, but it mattered little to Rathan. Kindara was his; they could not keep him from her. “She’s extremely private, and I’ve made it one of my jobs to preserve that privacy.”

“I will find her myself, then. Thank you for your time.” He nodded politely to her, and smiled at Mal and the rest of the Taniss women who had accompanied their group. He flashed, his woman in him mind as his ultimate destination.

She took the back way, past the indoor pool where Jierra and Jambu used to spend so much of their time while in high school. Jambu’s treachery would still have to be dealt with, but Kindara felt the medical needs and research of her people must ultimately come first.

How was she to reconcile a babe’s needs with her peoples? Could she do it? When Ji was young, Kindara was focused on her exclusively. Had needed to be to heal from her loss. But now the stakes for the Dardaptoan race was so much larger. Would it be fair—could she be fair to a babe in the midst of trying to save her people?

Damn him. And damn herself for not even considering...

Had she ever heard of a half demon half Dardaptoan babe before? They weren’t even of the same worlds, demons and Dardaptoans. Demons lived in what she understood to be a completely other realm created by gods far different than the ones who’d created her peoples, the Kinds of her worlds. Yes, humans inhabited her world, but they came after. Were transplanted after the waters of Eiophon came down. Humans attributed the flood to their Noah, but Kindara knew it was the god who’d created the Lupoiux wreaking havoc with their world. Demons followed the humans to this world occasionally—so Cormac had said—usually for nefarious reasons. No Dardaptoan and demon had cross mated, that Kindara had ever heard.

Lucky her to be the first.

A pop behind her had her spinning to face the bastard who’d ruined her careful plans.
