Chapter Six

She was flown back to the manor and didn’t know what to think. Yavor cradled her carefully, and when they were back in his quarters, she asked him warily, “That wasn’t true, was it?”

He poured himself a glass of water. “What wasn’t?”

“About purchasing the bond on the bulk of us.”

Yavor looked at her with surprised eyes. “Of course. I suspected from some of your readouts that you were companion class, but I was too far away to send you to auction, so I insisted that you would suffer mental anguish if you were separated from your sibling and that I would take the lot at a higher than usual fee.” He chuckled. “They were delighted to take the chance of losing a diamond to get rid of the river stones.”

She stared at him.

“Of course, once a few companions were found in your species, they tried to recall you, but you had already signed on for assessment after arrival and were on your way to me.” He chuckled with a wicked tone.

She swallowed. He had suddenly gone from being the large, affable male constantly touching her to something a little more brutal than she had expected. She thought about what to do, looked at him, and walked toward him, putting her arms around his waist and her head against his chest. “Why did Steffy have to go through the air like that?”

Iris nodded. “I didn’t mind as long as they did what I said. It was never my intention to take control over them, but that is what happened.”

He stroked her cheek. “Will you tell me how you got to the extraction team?”

She nodded. “Sure. When do you want me to start?”

“Now.”

She chuckled. “When in the span of the journey?”

“Begin with the disaster.”

She was about to speak when a soft knock at the door got their attention. “My lord. You asked us to notify you when dinner was ready.” It was Ren’s voice.

Yavor said, “We will be down in a moment.” He focused on her. “You are going to tell me all about you.”

“I thought you just wanted to know about my last year and a bit on Terra.”

He chuckled. “That too. Are you hungry?”

She nodded. “I am.”

“Good. Let’s go.”

She nodded, and he swept her with him, his wing at her back. They walked across the gallery and down the large staircase. The huge empty space in the centre of the manor made sense when she thought about Yavor’s wingspan.

They walked down the steps, and he held her carefully as they entered the private dining room. A butler-style
