Arriving on deck seven a few minutes later, they found the place in bedlam. Almost a dozen Warriors were stationed at every door, no doubt to keep the humans in their rooms until whatever they were dealing with here was done. Spotting Corr, his Chaer, outside one of the feeding rooms they made their way over. As they did Xandr couldn’t help but glance at one door in particular. It looked just like all the others, but there was something about it he just couldn’t put his finger on. He felt drawn to it. He had to force himself to concentrate on the matter at hand and not approach it and enter.

“What are we dealing with?” Doc asked.

“Same as before. Female. Bitemarks to the neck. Numerous fractures. Crushed larynx.”

“Same male?” Xandr growled, dreading the answer but knowing he needed to know. Had his failure as a Warrior, as a Chaetdorian, led to the death of another innocent female?

“Looks that way.”

When the door to the room opened, and Teks stepped out, he got a quick look at the body. It was Rebecca, a friend of Mandy’s. Was that just a coincidence?

When the Slayer Chaer growled in rage he brought his focus back to the male.

“Where are the twins?” Teks snapped before turning on Doc. “You assessed both males the other moon. They were both cleared, correct?”

“Correct.”

“Then care to tell me why there is evidence in there connecting them to this crime!”

“Oh shit.”

Now all Chaetdorians are pale due to the Earth’s sun being hazardous to them, but at that moment Doc looked as pale as death.

“Jepa passed. There is no hint of madness in him, I swear. But…”

“But what?”

“Hecto has it.”

“And you did not detain him?” Xandr exploded, the rage that had been building within him since Mandy’s body had been found finally coming to boiling point.

“He begged me not to. Said that he and Jepa had found their mate. You know that to kill one would kill the other. I had to give them a chance, give Jepa a chance.”

“It would still end the same way. There is no reversing it.”

Shaking his head, Doc tried to explain his reasoning for keeping such a dangerous secret. “Hectos’s madness is in the advanced stage. By now he should be killing every male in sight, attempting to claim every female. But he’s not. I think the link between them has somehow helped him control the urges. He hasn’t once attacked another male. He and Jepa have been unsupervised around the human females numerous times with no incidents.”

“No incidents? What the fuck do you call that in there?” Teks asked, pointing to the closed door. “We now have two dead females on our hands. We need to stop this before another gets hurt. Now the only evidence we have points to Jepa and Hecto, and we need to act on it, no matter what you hoped would happen if indeed he was telling the truth.”

Which Xandr doubted. Just because three of their males had now amazingly found their mates, it didn’t mean the twins had.
