After offering his solution to Melody, Devron couldn’t bear to look at her anymore. She was too beautiful, too perfect, and too much of a reminder of what he had to give up.

But he couldn’t keep her prisoner when she so clearly wasn’t taking to the bond. He’d thought that her spiritedness would die down once she realized that the life he offered wasn’t so bad, but apparently, he was less desirable than he’d given himself credit for.

He left her with the bedroom and slipped out into the temperate night to talk to his neighbors.

“Are you sure about this?” Gaddis asked, sharing a look with his mate. Neither of them seemed to like Devron’s plan. They both looked wildly uncomfortable at the thought.

“Won’t that . . . cause you great discomfort?” Sina asked, her clawed fingers twisted together.

Discomfort was an understatement.

The Frenzy was bad enough without an Omega. Having had one and then losing her . . . well, it might be enough for the damned curse to finally do him in.

Devron couldn’t let that cloud his judgment, though. Melody was counting on him to make the right choice and to consider her future when he did.

He nodded resolutely.

“It will, but there’s no other way. Melody is never going to find peace with me, here or elsewhere. The only way to help her is to get her far enough away that the bond cannot control her.”

Gaddis shifted in his seat anxiously. “What about you, my friend? What is to become of you when the Frenzy returns?”

Devron clenched his jaw and pushed back the memories of agony and torturous need.

“That is a problem I will tackle when it arrives,” he said, clasping his hands atop the table. “So, what do you say? Will you help me?”

The two Selithi exchanged another glace, and Devron began to wonder if he’d made a mistake in coming to them. They were already wary enough about Canian customs—especially with regard to Omegas—and helping Devron hide with her had been one thing. But helping her escape? Sending her back to her planet—if that’s what she decided she wanted—could invite scrutiny and retribution not only from Canians, but from the galactic community as a whole.

Most other lifeforms in touch with them were willing to turn a blind eye to the Canians’ slaving exploits so long as their planets remained untouched and they occasionally saw some compensation for their inattentiveness. But the kind of firestorm this situation could start had the potential to involve far more than the people on Planet Cania, and Devron’s Selithi neighbors knew that.

“This thing you propose is dangerous,” Gaddis said, glancing toward his mate.

“But we wish to assist you,” Sina chimed in. “It is clear how much you care for Melody. I am sorry she could not learn to reciprocate.”

Devron’s throat tightened, and he swallowed to shove back the painful lump of emotion pressing against his windpipe. He would not let them see his weakness.

“As am I,” he said stiffly instead. “I’ll make the
