CHAPTER FOUR

Unlike Vor females whose heat usually lasted only three days, humans didn’t have the same reaction to the mating bite. For them, the fever could last up to five or six days with no reprieve until it finally just disappeared.

While Soujin had heard these warnings from Kings Castle—and he felt prepared to care for his mate in her time of need—that didn’t stop him from worrying about Rox. She was so small compared to the Vor, and she didn’t heal like they did. More than once, she had complained about the soreness, and with each passing day, her strength diminished until she could barely stand.

He’d done as she’d asked and sent word to the visiting clansman that she was alive and in no danger. After that, he hadn’t thought much of the males again until the end of the fifth day. When his mate’s cravings were still intense and unpredictable with no end in sight, he’d reluctantly swallowed his pride and summoned the one she’d called Daj.

Honestly, it had surprised him that the warrior was even still on the island. Normally, the tradesmen made their exchanges and left. The only reason for them to have stayed this time was because of Rox, and he wasn’t sure how he felt about another male worrying for his mate.

On one hand, the thought of a warrior harboring feelings for her, even friendly feelings, made him see red. On the other hand…just no. Any way he looked at it, the idea of her befriending another male just pissed him right the fuck off.

Still, Daj of the Krell Warriors was the only one who could give him the answers he sought.

Meeting the male outside of his hut while Rox slept, he kept his arms held loosely at his sides in a subtle display of truce.

The warrior bowed his head. “You requested to speak with me?”

“Why are you still here?”

If Daj was offended, he didn’t show it. “I understand that the female is your mate, Chieftain, and I mean no disrespect.” He bowed his head again. “Rox was left in my charge by the king himself. I cannot leave until I know she is well.”

His blatant display of deference went a long way in soothing some of Soujin’s distrust. Fuck, he didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to ask for help, but this wasn’t about him. Swallowing past the tightness in his throat, he took a deep breath and met the male’s gaze.

“I’m not sure that she is well. It has been five days since I claimed her, and she is still in the throes of the heat.”

“That is not so unusual for humans.”

“I’m aware. The persistence of the heat is not what concerns me.” He hated appearing weak or uninformed in front of anyone, but especially an outsider. With his mate’s well-being his primary concern, a little bruising to his ego was of little consequence. “She barely eats, and she’s lost weight since she’s been here. Not an alarming amount, but enough to be noticeable.
