Chapter 14

Malak moved swiftly, his eyes fixated on the ground in front of him. I watched him, silently, my arms crossed in front of me, the cool air causing goosebumps to appear. He moved like a panther, all dark hair and lean muscle. Beautiful. And yet, while he was my friend, I knew there should be nothing else.

Unfortunately, I felt a connection.

I wasn’t sure why he hadn’t left. Kri Tennin were supposed to move on, leaving Transitioners for the Hyrs Tennins to train. The Kri typically was the one to ask the all-important question: Did you, as a human, want to become Tennin and thereby become immortal? Once a decision was made, they left – either with the human forgetting the visit or in the hands of the Hyrs Tennin pair. Inias and Ridwan were my Hyrs.

So why was he still here?

Malak looked up in that moment, his eyes meeting mine. And my heart stopped. I could see the feeling in those dark orbs as he slowed up, his stride faltering.

“Nica.” His voice was a sigh and sadness came over his face.

“Malak, how are you?” I didn’t understand what I was seeing, so I decided to do what I usually did when it came to emotions I didn’t understand; I ignored them for now.

He stopped in front of me, his look intent as he searched my face. Finally, he looked away. He shuffled back and forth slightly before turning back to me. He had wiped all emotion from his face, as if he hadn’t come back to ask me a question that I couldn’t answer.

“How is Marcus?”

Confused, since I was sure that wasn’t what he had wanted to ask me, I nodded towards the entrance, wanting to get warm again. He followed me into the building.

“He is awake now and asking for Vern. The nurses say that we should be able to bring him in for a visit. If it goes well, they may give him temporary Service Dog status. I think it would be very good for Marcus, so fingers crossed.”

Malak nodded.

To say things were suddenly awkward was an understatement.

Malak was the first Tennin I had met. He was beautiful. I just didn’t need a romantic involvement right now. My life was tenuous at best with Achilah attacking me and mine. I was spending all my extra time training, and I currently was employed at a job that was meaning less to me every hour. Despite the chemistry, this was not the right time, and I wasn’t sure if it ever would be.

I looked closer at him, and something inside me had to reach out to him. I touched his arm gently and pulled. The dark, negative feelings slowly eased into me via our connection. I shivered slightly as I gathered them, but then pushed them down into the ground below me, my body acting as a conduit to removing them.

Malak’s eyes widened, and he stepped away from me, breaking the connection.

“What are you doing, Nica?” He choked out quietly.
