Chapter 7

Piper was amazed with this new world. At least it was new to her. The planet was so vibrant and alive. Smells and textures were heightened and Piper thought if a rainbow had a taste this would be it. ‘Enchanting’ was such a dull word when experiencing the magnitude of endless discoveries. The plant life was like nothing she had ever seen before. Endless beauty as far as the eye could see gripped her heart and squeezed it tight until she was breathless and drunk.

Piper had heard the word ‘giddy’ but to experience the emotion in the true sense was exhilarating. She was in love with her new home and Jago was picking up on her emotions. Every new plant he showed her, every new eye-catching wonder she experienced, Jago experienced it with her. He was falling over himself to show her everything. He was an endearing man and Piper wondered why she was so hesitant to mate with him.

Both Piper and Jago looked to the sky when a Castian vessel hovered. Beyond, a black vortex opened and six men appeared. Cobra was one of them. Piper felt Jago stiffen. They had been unsuccessful at reproducing and Piper knew Cobra was pressuring Jago to let him try to impregnate her. Piper wasn’t certain why Cobra felt he would be more successful. It certainly wasn’t from lack of trying.

“He’s back,” Jago said.

“I don’t want to sleep with him,” Piper said.

“You would not need to sleep with him; he wants to have sex.”

“Never mind,” Piper said and then sighed.

“I need to take you back,” Jago said though he looked reluctant. “Cobra will have much news for his warriors. A Tonan has infiltrated our ranks and there is a great deal of concern.”

“How is that possible?” Piper asked with surprise.

“A Tonan can lie,” Jago said with a snarl of disgust.

“But I thought you sensed lies.”

“We do. To a degree. A Castian cannot lie—or if we did we couldn’t lie well. A human female gives off a certain scent when she lies or is evasive. The Tonan has perfected lies over the millennia to such a degree he believes them therefore it isn’t a true lie if he thinks it real. Also, because many of our warriors lost a warrior mate when our females died it isn’t unusual for a Castian male not to have a warrior mate. Though rare, some of the warriors, like Cobra, impregnated a female who chose not to mate them.”

“That’s complicated. What about a Tonan’s gray armor?”

“A hologram is easy enough. You’ve seen that, felt it. I’m not sure what Cobra can do. He may be leader, but each individual Castian is known to him. The intruder could have been among us for hundreds of years. How else could our females have been poisoned? Come with me. I want to make certain you are safe in my room.”

Piper turned to Jago and clasped his hand tight.

“Jago, I don’t want to have sex, do the horizontal mamba, couple, sleep with or do the funky chicken with Cobra.
