Chapter Eleven

Zarix

The day is long, but I pass the time by enjoying the sweet smell of Beth’s hair. She laughs at something Javir says, and I feel my mouth twitch at the musical sound.

We camp on the outskirts of the Seinex Forest, and I cook the udazin I hunted on our way. I hand Beth one of the choicest parts, and she takes a bite.

“Mmm,” she says. “Tastes like chicken.”

I don’t know what chicken is, but this is obviously a good thing given Beth’s enjoyment of the meat.

Javir grins at me from across the fire. We will need to put out the flames soon. Otherwise, we risk drawing predators.

The thought of Beth in danger makes my heart race, and I glance at the boy. He is young, with his whole life ahead of him. His mother would never forgive me if I let him die.

“What are you thinking?” Beth asks.

I hand her another piece of meat, and she chews with obvious relish.

“I’m thinking that you need to eat more,” I say, and she gives me a look.

“That’s not what you were thinking,” she mutters but glances away, effectively ending our conversation.

I jump to my feet, drawing my sword, and Beth pales, the meat falling from her hand.

“Someone comes,” I murmur, glancing at Javir. He pulls his knife, and I narrow my eyes at him. The boy has skills. Once again, I did not feel him take it from me.

Javir moves in front of Beth, and she heaves an exasperated sigh. I ignore them and move from the fire, eyes focused, body ready.

“Relax, Zarix,” a deep voice says, and I curse as Tazo steps out from behind a tree.

“What are you doing here?” I growl.

Tazo’s gaze flicks behind me, and I turn, watching as Beth lets out a sigh of relief, sitting back on the overturned tree and resuming her meal.

“Dexar sent me with you. You left earlier than I had anticipated.”

“I don’t need your help,” I growl.

He laughs, although his eyes are hard. “Regardless, you have it.” He gestures, and Dekir and Perik join him.

I curse and turn back to the fire. Beth sends me a sympathetic look while Javir moves to the warriors, immediately chatting about the journey.

I ignore them as they join us, cooking their own beast. Tazo offers Beth a piece of meat, and I tamp down my jealousy when she takes it, giving him one of her sweet smiles in return.

I work best alone. But once I process the fact that Dexar chose not to tell me he was sending these warriors with me, I will likely feel gratitude for their presence. The more warriors with us, the more swords between any Voildi and the female and child.

Perik puts out the fire, and I move to my furs. Beth picks up her own furs, dragging them close to mine, and I avoid Tazo’s gaze as I lie down, hauling her close to me.

I should tell Beth to move her furs away, but I can’t control my instinct to keep her near me.
