Chapter Nine

Robyn sat with Sunny in the main hub. “Tuesdays are hard,” she said, watching the hologram screen to see the shuttle approach from the main gates. “I hardly get to see Kaden since we’re keeping him under wraps.”

“I thought we could trust the humans we hired?” It had been a month since they had been accepted as employees of the city. A month since Beast had been training for the security detail for a few hours each day.

“We can. But that secret is…huge. I want to give it some time, you know? Before we allow anyone other than our own inhabitants of Xenia to find out about my son. I want to make sure we know each and every single person.”

“How are the humans working out?”

“It’s only been a few weeks, but so far so good. They’re slowly getting used to things. So far everyone has been trustworthy. There are no items missing, nor bits of information being leaked.”

“How about Heather? She chose the twins.”

Robyn shrugged. “She seems fine with things. She still hasn’t met Jett or Brax and doesn’t seem to find that odd. I’m not sure why they’re in hiding. I ought to find out, now that I’m thinking about it.”

“Yes,” Sunny murmured. “They were entranced with the idea of having a human come to Xenia. I can’t imagine why they still haven’t shown themselves to her.”

“Someone has been walking her through the woods every day. I think Beast is taking her today since he’s driving the shuttle from the gate. Unless she agrees she can make her way herself.”

“I’ll bet they hide in the woods and watch as someone walks her through. Maybe I’ll see if I can find them.”

“Before you leave, Sunny. I’d like to talk to you about whether you’re ready to return to work…”

“I am. It’s scheduled for tomorrow,” Sunny said. “Beast has completed his training and will start full time also.”

“What about coming across the spot where you killed Mike?” This time, Robyn didn’t mince words.

Sunny winced. “I’ve come to grips with it. He wasn’t an honorable man and intended to do harm to me. Though unintentional, I did harm to him first. I can’t dwell on it.” The thought worried her more than she let on, but she also knew she couldn’t let it stop her.

“Good. But you really should explore the area with someone first.”

“Sunny! My friend!” Tempest turned the corner, Shawn in tow. They were both sweaty like they’d just come from working out. Tempest wrapped her arms around her.

“I haven’t seen you in so long.”

“You’ll see me tomorrow,” Sunny said, hugging her back briefly. “I’m back on the gates with B shift.”

“And Beast has finished his training so it will be perfect. I will be on the opposite side, but if you need me—”

“I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

“Robyn says you may have flashbacks.”

Sunny gulped. It was something she’d thought of.

“I was going to tell her myself,” Robyn said drily. “Perhaps have her exercise controlling her power. Not that I don’t think you have control, Sunny.
