Chapter Eight

“Tell me,” Kirall demanded of his father once they were back inside.

“I was contacted this sunrise by Elder Tove."

"Maaike's father?" Autumn asked.

"Yes. It seems Maaike was quite distraught last night and contacted him about Autumn's arrival."

"Contacted?" Autumn frowned at Kiran, suddenly realizing she'd never asked how Dragoons communicated. When they'd been on the Inferno, Kirall had sent a transmission to his father informing him of their arrival. She'd gone with him to a small room that reminded her of something you'd see on a ship. She hadn't seen anything like that in his parents’ Lair. She hadn't seen one in Kruba either. "How was she able to do that?"

"Communicate with her father?" Kiran asked.

"Yes, is there a room or something?"

Kiran frowned down at her in confusion. "All blood kin can communicate through that bond. Weren't you aware of that?"

"Why would I be?" Autumn asked stiffly, suddenly feeling like an outsider again. "I have no blood kin here. I don't have them anywhere."

"That's a lie. I'm your blood kin now." Kirall wrapped her up in his arms before lowering his forehead to hers and whispering, "I'm sorry, my love. I didn't realize this was something you didn't know. The bond occurs at birth. It's something we don't even think about."

Autumn sank into Kirall's embrace, the absolute truth in his words soothing her even while it made her realize in many ways she would always be an outsider on Mondu. Supreme or not.

"Autumn?" Kirall frowned down at her, feeling her pain but not understanding it.

"So Maaike told her father Kirall was mated. Not to her, but to some unknown female that she believed to be a Minor." She pulled out of Kirall's arms not wanting to talk about it right now.

Kiran looked at Kirall for a moment before he spoke. "Yes, and Tove then contacted Lando who in turn summoned Dacke. Dacke informed Lando that Autumn was a Supreme."

"Kur!" Kirall swore.

"Why would Dacke do that?" Autumn couldn't believe it. She and Dacke had met while traveling on the Inferno, and she'd thought they were friends.

"He wouldn't have had any choice, Autumn," Kirall told her. "Lando is the Elder of the White Minors and the most powerful of them. Dacke would have been forced to reveal what he knew or been crushed."

"You're not talking literally, right? He wouldn't have actually been crushed."

"He would have if Lando chose to."

"That is so wrong."

"Yes, there are those that abuse their power. Lando is one of them."

"Is Dacke okay?" she asked looking at Kiran.

"It is my understanding that he held out as long as he could, but in the end, he was brought to his knees before finally revealing what he knew about you. Lando immediately contacted Tove."

"Contacted? How? Tove is a Gold Prime so he can't be blood kin to a White Minor. Did he fly to tell Tove?"

"No, Tove was in his Lair. Lando communicated with him through a relay jewel."

"A relay jewel?"

Kiran reached inside his tunic and pulled out the long chain he wore around his neck until a large, black, teardrop jewel appeared.
