CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

T’Kan

What have you done?

That question rings in my head as I once again find myself headed toward my Kel’s royal office for an audience.

It has been three weeks since I’ve seen her, touched her, held her. Three weeks since she let our Qel and Kel guide her to the royal spaceship.

She had said not a word to me as she passed by me with her best friend on one side and my best friend on the other. But when she reached the top of the landing strip, she suddenly whipped around and raised a fist with her center finger pointed upwards.

I have no idea what that gesture meant, but if the rage burning in her brown eyes was any indication, the translation was not good.

I had tried to explain to her, make her understand why I had done the things I did. But she refused to listen and the Qel had quickly got between us, acting as a buffer, so I could not pull Zin’nia aside to talk.

I was left with no choice but to watch the flyer take off, carrying away my hopes and dreams of the future, carrying away my hearts. My treasure. And I have not seen her since.

To make matters worse, though I have been fully reinstated as Xar of our troops, I have been banned from the Palace. Not granted an audience with my Kel until this very day.

To say I have been frantic for news of the female who has so diseased my heart with love is an understatement. But today I will not be denied.

Instead of waiting peaceably in the antechamber as I did six months ago before my arrest, I stride right past the green secretary.

The Kel is working on a holoscreen when I arrive, but he quickly swipes a hand to erase it when I burst into his office, my chest heaving with anger.

“T’Kan, my friend, I hope all has been well with you and our troops are in good order just in case the Kaidorians do attack,” he says, clasping his arms behind his robed back.

I touch a respectful hand to my ridges. Then: “You must let me talk with her.”

Kel D’Rek lets out a sighing hiss. “I have spent much time, convincing my mate that this one infraction in an otherwise illustrious career is no reason to, as she puts it, fire you. I remain your friend and, of course, you can keep your post, but the subject of our Qel’s dearest friend is off limits.”

As Zin’nia once said to me, fuck that. “You suffer from this love disease, too. You know how it feels to love someone so much that it is almost physically painful to be away from them. Yet you banned me from the palace. You kept me away from her. Would you truly call me your friend?”

Kel D’Rek’s ridges flatten at my aggressive hiss. “I understand your frustration, but you will maintain a respectful tone when talking to your Kel…and you will understand this situation is very complicated.
