Chapter Seven

Determined not to rush Eza, Kage stood back and let her work. She had been seated cross-legged in the middle of their bed for nearly an hour scanning for Tajon. She was clearly frustrated by her inability to “see” their target. They had decided against taking Tajon to one of the ships. If someone with the ability to reshape matter were going to escape for any reason, they agreed that it would be less dangerous for everyone if he were on the ground. A stasis chamber was on standby in the Viper’s main medical clinic. Kage could use his Mystic voice to render Tajon unconscious much faster than any drug, but would it be fast enough to keep Tajon from escaping? The only way to find out was to try. All they needed now was Tajon’s current location.

“He must be inside a building with incredibly dense shielding.” She sighed heavily and opened her eyes. “I’ve always been able to locate someone once I’ve touched their mind.”

“Have you ever merged your gifts with someone else’s?” He moved closer to the bed. “One of my gifts is amplifying the abilities of others. I might be able to increase your range and sensitivity.”

“I’m willing to try anything. I won’t be able to relax until I know this danger is contained.”

Kage held out his hand, knowing if he crawled onto the bed with her, they wouldn’t stay focused for long. “Let’s go in the other room. You should probably put your shoes back on. If we manage to find him, we’ll need to be ready to act.”

“You’re right. Tajon shouldn’t be able to sense me, but he shouldn’t be able to hide from me either. This is really frustrating.” They walked into the outer room, and she retrieved her shoes from the pad by the door where she routinely left them. “Did you identify all your abilities through trial and error, or did you undergo some sort of assessment in your youth?”

Her tone was light and conversational, but the gleam in her eyes seemed a bit too sly. “Have you been pestering Arton about my past?”

She faced him, the span of the room still separating them, her shoes dangling from one hand. “I haven’t spoken with Arton, but it’s frustrating that he knows more about you than I do. I’m your mate. There should be no secrets between us.”

“You know everything there is to know, at least everything that’s important. Why is this an issue now?” He moved closer and placed his hands on her shoulders. “I told you I had mentors, so obviously I was trained. My favorite mentor—”

“What was his name? What was he like? He was obviously important to you. Why won’t you tell me anything about him, about them?”

He closed his eyes and released a sigh of frustration. “I cannot, will not, endanger others by creating a connection to the person I used to be.” He opened his eyes and looked deep into hers. “That person is dead, that life forgotten.
