I stood in the middle of Tark’s property, staring at the comm he’d given me. It seemed to be working, but I’d tried—and failed—three times to connect with Ward. I willed myself to stay calm, but my cora raced. It wasn’t like Ward not to answer. He was my most responsible male.

“Fleck,” I spat.

Fra-kee stood nearby, petting Rufus. Her head went up at my curse, and her aura trembled with anxiety. In my mind, her glow was golden. Sometimes it sparkled, and other times it soured to a pale yellow, like now.

If I couldn’t contact Ward, then Gar was my next option. As Ward’s brother, he was just as dependable, although a bit rough around the edges. In the Uprising, he’d sustained head injuries, leaving him with scars on his face and only half a left horn. The horn was now a jagged thing he refused to file down. He cut an imposing figure.

Signals in the western half of the continent were spotty. The Uldani had tried to destroy all their towers to cut off our communication, but we’d anticipated that move and saved as many as we could. Taking out satellites would be their only hope for completely shutting down our comms, but they didn’t touch those because that would mean cutting off their own communication system as well.

When Gar answered my call, his image was blurry, and his voice garbled. Eventually, the signal strengthened. He glowered at me, angry, but I could also see relief passing through his eyes. “Where have you been?” he barked.

“My comm was destroyed by a pivars pack.”

“How the fleck did that happen?”

“Doesn’t matter. I’m leaving Tark’s soon with enough implants for the rest of the females. Status, please.”

He made an annoyed huffing sound, the rings in each of his nostrils shifting with his breath. “They are alive and well. Eating and drinking. They have locked themselves away in a room and will only let Hap inside to deliver their daily rations.”

“What?”

“The one with darker skin punched me in the ear.”

Fra-kee clapped her hands over her mouth, but I didn’t miss the bubble of laughter that escaped.

I frowned at Gar. “If you laid one finger—”

“They are unharmed.” His voice rose, indignant. “She just doesn’t like me, and that’s fine because I don’t like her either.”

Fra-kee made another undignified noise.

“And one is missing,” he added, his voice lower and his words rushed together like he hoped I wouldn’t notice their meaning.

“What?” I roared. “How was that not the first thing you mentioned?”

“Missing?” Fra-kee squeaked, her nails digging into my arm.

I shushed her. “Explain,” I barked at Gar.

“Ward had her on his bike. The one with yellow hair who yelled a lot.”

“Shrieky blonde,” Fra-kee murmured. “Oh no.”

“We stopped to give the females some qua, and she took off while Ward was taking a piss.”

I pinched the bride of my nose. “Go on.”

“Ward took off after her. During the last communication we had with him, he said she was taken by a Rizar pack, but was still alive.
