CHAPTER SIX

SHAYA

“We will not keep you very long, we just have a few questions for you.”

Shaya stood before the group of Alphas that sat on the floor before her. She didn't recognize them as being part of Tribe Nyek; in fact, they all wore different colors, as though they each were from a different tribe. But that couldn't be right. Why would the different tribes have summoned her to the temple through the high chief?

She stood in the main temple area with her back to the high chief’s platform. He stood to the right, facing her and the Alphas and watching their interaction.

She glanced at the high chief, wondering what she should do. She had no idea what the protocol was, or even why she was back in the temple.

“I will explain what is happening, Katashaya,” the high chief said, trying to reassure her. “Take a seat.”

Shaya glanced at the door, hoping to see Kardos storming through it, but he wasn’t. A nervous desperation came over her causing her to fidget, and the unfamiliar scent of these Alphas made it worse. She didn't want to damage anything more than she already had by biting him, but the high chief was giving her direct instructions. Surely, the high chief wouldn't try to negatively impact her or Kardos, but she didn't know enough about him to know what his intentions were, especially as he didn't bless them.

She shuffled back slightly until her heels hit the cushion on the floor and then lowered to sit down as she had in the blessing room with the high chief. As she fixed herself cross-legged, trying to get comfortable, the high chief spoke.

“One of the traditions that we have here,” he began, “is that the other shinnos of the tribes, or their tribe leader, can request to meet one member of a pair that has not been blessed to see if that person may be more suitable for their own tribe.”

Shaya shot him a sharp look. So this was his fault for not blessing them. “But I'm bonded,” she said, firmly. “I cannot join any other tribe.”

“I know,” the high chief said. “Usually permission for this cannot be given unless the tribe leader for the requested party has agreed. Since you officially have no tribe, there is no one to stop you from being summoned.”

“I thought I was a member of Tribe Nyek,” Shaya said, confused. Isn’t that what Rozalia had said?

“You are,” the high chief said slowly, “but only because of your bond to shinno Kardos. You haven’t officially gone through any joining celebration or ritual yet, have you?”

Shaya’s heart sank as she shook her head. “But I thought I couldn't be summoned without my Alpha,” she added, hoping that what Rozalia had said was true.

“Your Alpha has been summoned also,” the high chief said. “Although, I was just informed he is on one of the training islands and not within easy reach.” He shot a dark look to one of the Alphas sitting before her, but she couldn't tell which one it was directed at.
