Chapter Nine

VALLON

Zaku stood and whirled around, taking up a defensive stance the moment we entered the room. His body was placed in front of his mate as if to protect her.

My eyes took in the entirety of the room at once, finding a wide-eyed Elise huddled together with Lily against the far wall. My shoulders sagged in relief to find her unharmed, yet I kept my spear up and at the ready.

Zaku was an unknown alien species. He claimed not to be our enemy, yet we had no reason to believe that he wasn't. No chance was to be taken that he would turn on us or that he had taken the human against her will, so Sia Jakkar had ordered him shackled while he lay unconscious and healing from his injuries.

"We meant you no harm." Sia Jakkar eased toward Lily and Elise the same as I did.

"I suppose the shackles were my imagination," Zaku hissed, keeping his body between the female and us.

"You are unknown to us," Sia Jakkar defended. "It was a real possibility that the human female you travel with was an abductee like all the other humans we've come across. We were acting in the female's best interest."

Zaku's posture relaxed. Sia Jakkar's explanation appeared to calm him. "Ivy is my mate. I did not abduct her."

"I left Earth with him willingly," Ivy's thin voice came from behind the huge male. "Please, don't hurt him. We didn't mean to land here."

The female sat up with a groan and clasped Zaku's hand. The male whipped around to help his mate. She held her arms out for him to gather her close.

"I will not be shackled and separated from my mate again." Zaku glared at the two warriors armed with nutrone spears at the exit before searing us with glowing eyes.

"We only meant to protect Ivy," Sia Jakkar repeated. "Now that we know for certain that she is your mate, you will not be separated again."

"Does that also mean we are free to go?"

"Yes." Sia Jakkar held out his hand and lowered it slowly. As one, we pointed our weapons to the floor.

"Swear to the Spirits we will remain together, and we are able to leave at any time." Zaku looked pointedly at Sia Jakkar.

"What do you know of the Spirits?" I heard myself say, becoming agitated that this alien knew of us while we knew nothing of him. This seemed to be an ongoing theme, how we were ignorant of the Universe beyond our clouds while so many others had vast knowledge of our race.

Zaku only glared at me, bowing up. His slitted eyes flitted around the room as if he were assessing his surroundings. I got the impression the only reason he hadn't already grabbed his mate and bolted was because of her injuries. "I know enough. Now swear on your Spirits."

"We do not wish to be your enemy, Zaku," Sia Jakkar ensured him. "We have enough of those."

"Then don't make one out of me, Sia." Zaku spoke Jakkar's title with a hiss.
