N’Ashtar

How could she be acting so happy? My Dana was strong. No matter how she had been violated by the Caterri, she was going through their camp, taking their things. I was pleased that we had taken out a camp of Caterri—most of a camp of Caterri—and now I had many ideas to share with my tribe on how to attack their larger forces. But I hadn’t wanted any of that to be at the cost of my mate.

Then there’d been watching Dana take the strange Caterri down by herself. She had quickly disarmed him, taking control of the weapon, except she hadn’t killed him. No, she wanted to keep him, and she didn’t seem to mean like a pet. Not that Caterri were pets, but they weren’t friends, either. Caterri were the enemy. It was as simple as that.

At the same time, I wanted to make Dana happy, and she had made it more than clear that killing the Caterri she had…adopted would have made her very unhappy. I didn’t want to do that to her. Instead, I stood and watched like a useless youngling while she pulled out strange weapons and food and other things I didn’t recognize from the strange metal beast.

I didn’t want that with us either, but Dana’s happiness mattered more. I was surprised she wanted a symbol of her assault to come with us, but maybe humans were different and that was how she dealt with things. Maybe the assaults had not taken place on the hovercraft. I had not witnessed them, after all.

Just thinking about what Dana had gone through made me want to break things. While I had finally rescued her, I had failed her in a significant way. My Dana had suffered and it was all my fault.

The bloody rag flashed through my mind, and my eyes closed as a sharp hiss escaped me. I couldn’t think about it. If I did, I would have grabbed onto Dana and just not let go.

“Let’s load this up, then we can go to O’Rrin’s cave.” Dana sounded satisfied, clapping her small, smooth hands together. There was a pleased glint to her eyes, like she had whatever she wanted.

“I thought I was the leader here,” I said, although there was amusement in my voice. A future chief needed a strong mate, and Dana was more than enough. Guilt flashed through me and I tried to keep it off my face. Was I going to be a leader? Was I still the future chief of my people, or had my father discarded me like he had promised?

“I wear the pants in this relationship,” Dana retorted.

I blinked, looking at O’Rrin in the hopes that he had any idea what she meant by that. “But…we are both wearing pants.”

Dana snorted. “I’ll ask Hetta to explain it to you, O’Rrin, and I’ll explain it to you, honey snookums, later,” she informed me.

O’Rrin and I exchanged another look. Humans were both pleasing and incredibly strange. “What is a honey snookums?” I asked.
