Melachine jumped, startled. Oh hell. Why was he here so soon? Kroga was supposed to be working outside of the facility.

Anxiety and desperation caused her to sit up, and with no time to think. She placed her claws on the nearest screen, accessed the Leaderboards and sent a quick coded message to Kayzon that simply said: Help me, I’m in the Swirl.

Then she stood on shaky legs, the cats jumping off her lap and onto the floor.

“Open the door,” Kroga bellowed like a male in agony.

She walked over and paused. He sounded very upset. In the past this would’ve hurt her hearts, hearing this pain in his voice, but today it only frightened her. She no longer knew the male who stood on the other side of this portal.

Melachine took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders. She’d punched him in the face the last time she’d seen him. She could do so again. Her mind flashed to their makeshift Cabul and to the useful weapons therein.

She had Xylan to defend.

She lifted her chin and slammed her palm on the panel, ready to take on this suddenly unknown male.

The door swished open.

Kroga caught himself before he fell on top on her in his haste to rush inside. “Wh—Melachine?” He reached his claws out and grabbed her by the arms. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” she stated. The warmth of his tone and the weight of his claws washed over her, unnerving her with its masculine intensity. He was her mate and her body couldn’t help responding to his touch.

“My Be’Ih. I was worried about you.”

Oh gods. He was doing a very good job of fake caring. No wonder she’d been sucked into his lies these last three moon cycles. He played the part of loving mate well. He’d lied to her before, he was lying to her now. He was a traitor. An assassin. A murderer. This was not a male she wanted to be near. In fact, the thought of how often she’d had sex with this traitor, in every part of this facility, was making her sick. She took a deep breath, trying her best to act normal and not let on that she remembered everything. She couldn’t let this male have the upper claw. “Why were you worried? I’m in here working like I usually do.”

“Megan called me. She told me to come here and check on you. She said you two were talking and you suddenly looked sick and put your head down. And then the vid cut off and you weren’t responding to her call. She was so alarmed she called me to have me come and check on you.”

Oh. Megan, of course. Dammit. She’d been so upset she’d forgotten to respond to her friend. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to cut her off and worry her. But as you can see, I’m fine.”

“What happened? Were you hurt? Are you sick?”

“I…I…” Oh shoot, she hadn’t had time to think of an excuse yet. And she’d never been
