Chapter Seven

Mags took her time getting dressed and rejoining the others. She wasn’t surprised to see Lena and Ina casting curious glances her way when she joined them, no doubt wondering how close to their experience hers had been. She was curious as well, but given how Zee had left things with her, now might not exactly be the best time to compare notes.

Or maybe it was exactly the right time.

He was currently standing by the Kraken with Rykal and Hallam, though none of them appeared to be speaking. Not that they were ignoring each other; based on the expressions on their faces they were painfully aware of each other.

Lena sauntered over to her and smiled when she saw where Mags was looking. “The Fallen can communicate via their cybernetic links when they are in proximity of one another. They have no idea how weird it looks when they’re standing there staring.”

“I have a lot to get used to.” The pain in her neck throbbed once again. “I was hoping to get some painkillers from the doctor.”

“Yeah, I should have warned you about that. I wasn’t certain that they’d all do the biting thing, but more than twice is a pattern.” Lena nodded toward an exam table. “I think they have injectors here with some stuff for emergencies. We can take a look.”

“Thanks.”

It took a little rooting around, but Lena found the meds. “Ha! This will help.” She pressed the injector to the side of Mags’ neck.

Within a few seconds, the throbbing pain was reduced to a dull ache. “Any idea why they do that?”

Lena shrugged. “I think it probably has something to do with claiming a mate. It’s weird because I get the impression that the Grus don’t act that way toward their partners. It probably has something to do with their cybernetics and link to us.”

There were so many unanswered questions – probably more than Mags even thought to ask – that they were all basically fumbling around in the dark doing their best to figure shit out. “He doesn’t want me to come with him to the prison.”

Lena’s eyes widened. “That’s surprising. Rykal struggles to let me out of his sight. Our first encounter was him kidnapping me at the thought of not being able to be next to me.”

Mags didn’t know how she would have reacted if Zee had done something so drastic. “I seem to have the opposite problem. There’s definitely a connection between us, but he seems adamant about not wanting me to follow him. I think he’s worried that I’m going to get myself killed.” While Mags might not have crazy good skills when it came to self-defense, she was more than able to handle herself in a difficult situation.

“I haven’t heard too much about the prison.” Lena frowned as she looked over Rykal’s way. “We’ve been more than a little preoccupied with sorting out what’s going on between us and the Fallen, getting attacked by a hostile alien race and keeping the Grus from wanting to murder us.
