Haste

I laid Pen down in my bedding. Her clothes were ruined, she bled in several places, and so many dark purple spots marred her skin that I lost count. Gaertha, Coly and Covi’s mother, stood nearby with her sister, and while Pen slept, I turned my back so they could undress and clean her. After they’d covered her appropriately, I resumed my watch of Pen while Growen treated her injuries.

Her leg worried me. The cut was deep but Growen assured me that while human skin was thin, it could take a lot of damage and still heal.

She no longer stunk like the Eaters, thanks to the humis females. They’d even cleaned her hair, and now it lay in a wet braided plait on my bedding. I fingered the tip, surprised at how soft the strands were. She had felt so small and vulnerable in my arms. When we’d arrived at the vapix’s chamber, I had feared the worst. When I saw her alive, sprinting for her life when I’d been tasked with protecting her… I hadn’t been able to contain my rage.

If I hadn’t needed to tend to her, I might have taken on a suicide mission and gone after the vapix and the primes. Instead, I’d forced myself to accept the Eater retreat and focus on her.

“What do you think would have happened if the vapix consumed her?” Reagen asked. Pieter stood nearby with his tablet, tapping away and whistling in stressed tones.

“I don’t want to think about it,” I muttered as I watched her sleep. I’d only known her for so long, but now I couldn’t imagine not having her in my den—

“He’d be more powerful than you,” Reagen interrupted my thoughts.

I frowned at him. “What?”

“That’s the concern that I’m trying to explain to you.” Reagen spoke in measured tones that did nothing to hide his annoyance. “We don’t yet the know the extent of the effect she has on you. There’s something… powerful in her. If the vapix takes that power for himself…” Reagen shook his head. “We can’t let that happen. We must protect her.”

It made sense that Reagen was worried about the effect on our colony. I should have been too, and instead I was only thinking about how badly I wanted her for myself. How she made me feel.

“She’s my strength, not weakness,” I growled.

“She’s both,” he snapped. “I’m not insulting her, so quit your steaming. I’m saying we will use her for good and they’ll use her for bad. You need to consummate—”

“Stop.” I lifted a hand in the air. “She’s bleeding and injured. I’m not thinking with my cock.”

Reagen’s eyes fired. “I didn’t say to think with your cock. Think with your head as the leader of this colony and help us all stay alive.”

I rose to my feet and turned on him. “You think I forget my duty?”

Pieter let out another distressed whistle and cowered in the corner.

Reagen, as always, did not back down. “No, but I think she’s confusing you, and I’m just sorting it out for you.
