CHAPTER FIVE

Urenya

Oh no. No, no, no.

To be completely honest, Urenya didn’t know what she was saying no to. To Narath dying in her arms? Or had she started the fighting part of a binding already since it was traditional for the gesha to resist the binding at first?

Possibly both. Probably both. She had never dared to believe she would be bound again. Hoped, yes, of course. She couldn’t afford to hope now, not when her mind needed to be clear.

More pressing issues first. The shuttle was rocking around them, under attack from the Atherins, but Urenya had been relentless. The look on Diego’s face would have been amusing on any other day, given it was very likely no one had demanded anything from him in many years. But to her, it had simply been a matter of time. Narath was definitely one of those she would have nodded to, signaling it was better to think of a dignified way to die, but she couldn’t bring herself to let go of him.

It was unfair, perhaps. But if what Narath said was true, she didn’t have to be rational about it. A gesha would do much worse to save her fated.

Her hands worked frantically while her mind was just as busy trying to completely shut down. So there was an answer to all the questions, the unexplainable desire, the thread that had seemed odd to her when they’d only ever met twice. The way his eyes had lit up when he’d looked at her. Perfectly clear now.

She didn’t know what to feel. Emotions were spiraling in her, tumbling over each other. The most obvious, most instant was fear. Her gerion or not, Narath was dying right in front of her eyes, dying because of her.

The image of him fighting was still before her eyes. He’d crashed into the Atherins like sky falling down on them, the call of the valor squares sending out their battle cry nearly deafening. His roars, which she’d found exciting in their growl form, had terrified even her. Urenya didn’t know if he’d even noticed, but the Atherins – who they thought had no sense of fear as such – had shrunk back from his terrible fury. All of that was compatible with the gesha thing, of course. If she truly was his, it made perfect sense for him to act like that. It must have been terrible for him to see her in danger, in all likelihood worse than it was for her, though there had been a long, horrible minute where she’d been completely sure she would die.

Her scream had made Narath turn at just the right moment, but she didn’t know how much good it did. The monstrous hand-blade had still cut through organs, and it was frankly a miracle in Urenya’s opinion that Narath was still alive.

In the back of her mind, the idea that the reason Narath was still drawing breath was because of her didn’t want to go away. He was simply refusing to die now that he’d found her.
