Chapter 15

Jakke

Sitting in his office with Kavvan, Jakke stopped speaking when a beeping comm interrupted them.

“Yes, Aage?”

“Commander, ah…ah…”

“I don’t have all day,” Jakke said irritably.

“Yes, Commander. Ah, a female in your quarters requests that someone take her to her room, and she says she needs different clothes.”

A smile split his face. His mate had used the comm unit and the shock in Aage’s voice was amusing. It was rare that anything rattled the experienced soldier.

“Thank you. I’ll take care of it.”

Kavvan, arms crossed, looked equally surprised.

“Let’s go introduce you to my mate and get some food,” Jakke said, suppressing a second grin.

As Kavvan and Sydney talked during first meal, Jakke found himself unsure how to respond to many of her questions and worse, her replies to Kavvan’s questions. When she mentioned returning to Earth, Kavvan’s eyes shot to his. His friend would have a lot to say later. Then Sydney spoke about Human marriage, and he suddenly understood just how difficult it would be for her to adjust to Cassia, Elle, and Kiaa.

Part of him wondered if he was being entirely fair to her, keeping such important secrets. But the mating fever had overruled all logic and now it was done. There would be no turning back, and whether she liked it or not, his Human mate would simply have to adjust.

After escorting Sydney to her quarters, Jakke found Kavvan waiting for him in his ready room.

“You haven’t told her?” Kavvan asked before the door had even shut.

Jakke’s eyes briefly touched his as he rounded the desk and slid into the empty chair. “No, I haven’t told her.”

“I’m afraid you have a rocky road ahead of you. Humans are not like us.”

Jakke rubbed the back of his neck. “I know. I thought I’d give her time to get to know me before explaining that I had mated her already and that she will not be return to Earth.”

“And your consorts?” Kavvan raised one eyebrow.

Jakke shrugged.

“She will get used to them, and they her.”

He didn’t tell Kavvan that he worried what would happen when Sydney found out about his consorts. He sometimes had more than three, sometimes fewer, but Cassia and Elle were the two constants.

I will do as promised—get to know Sydney, he told himself firmly. I’ll deal with the rest when the time comes. It will work out. It must, there is no other recourse.

Kavvan barked out a humorless laugh, snapping Jakke out of his thoughts. “Did you not hear the same conversation as I? They vow to be faithful to each other. And if someone breaks a vow, they can get a divorce. I say again: Humans are not like us. According to the rules of her culture, which is all she has ever known, she has the right to leave you. This does not bode well for your plans, old friend.”

“I would not be unfaithful to her!” Jakke replied defensively. “The consorts are part of the Azziarin way, ingrained in our culture. You know full well I had them years before Sydney.
