CHAPTER TEN

Tolan followed his mate into the room they were to share for the night, the girl Kira bowing them in and offering to fetch them whatever they would need for the evening rest or the journey that would begin the next day, early. They both assured her they had all they needed on the ship. Tomorrow would be soon enough to grab her gear and switch to the less known battle skiff Barnos had been working repairs on. He assured them it was flight-worthy but that was about it.

Jax had nearly beamed. She was so thrilled at the idea of having something to work on for however long the journey lasted. They were going to do their best to get word out about her, but they had no idea when the bait would be taken. They had hashed out a plan until the small hours of the morning, until they were all as satisfied with the plan as they could be.

There had been more than one tense moment when the men had tried to make their respective females stay behind, but each of them had abilities that might be needed and would not be left behind, regardless. The children would be staying with the Baralians, Kira and Tuft, who had orders to lock Sea Port down until their return.

Doc Morgan would not be pulled from his research on Dara's condition to help plan, merely answering his com with a brusque, and distracted, "Bring me everything he has on what he did to her. I can take it from there."

So the plan was in place, and in a few short hours Jax would be on her way in the skiff, alone in case there was interest before she arrived to rendezvous just outside of Frian. The thought of being separated during the mating dance was uncomfortable, but necessary.

Tolan would be manning The Fire with Barnos and the Lady Lara back on board. Tyber and his crew, besides the doctor, would be in The Jezebel, as would Lucan Warrung and the Lady Danika, hanging back but there in case they were needed. It was the best the Lady Danika could get from her mate, and she had argued long and hard about the necessity of her going. She had won her arguments in Dara's favor, but Jax could tell by the look in Lucan’s eyes that if it was not Dara's life on the line, he would not risk Danika even that much. Tolan had kept his peace while his mate sent him periodic questioning looks as if she was wondering why he wasn't arguing more too.

But arguing would have gotten him nothing more than it had Lucan, and he knew that. That did not mean he was done.

As soon as the door closed behind them he reached for Jax, swinging her around until he could study the cold face that she had adopted since her revelation about who she was and the past she had escaped.

"Should I call you Princess Jax?" he asked mildly enough.
