Amber doesn’t know I’m watching them as they confer on the riverbank. She doesn’t know I’m listening, either. There is one thing that makes my brother and me dignified and capable enough to lead our clan—our heightened senses. Compared to humans, the Sunnaites have better hearing and sight, and greater strength, and speed. Yet some of us rank even higher on the food chain, thanks to ancient genes passed down along certain bloodlines.

I can hear the sound of a pin dropping from a mile away.

Much like Izzo, I know what the girls have been up to since day one, but I wanted to let them manifest, to let them try things their way. Maybe it was a mistake. We lost two men because we didn’t keep a tighter leash on Amber and her friends. Yet we also agreed we wanted them to willingly come to us, otherwise we’d be no better than the Sky Tribe. Fairness is hard to follow when you’re in the middle of a civil war and also struggling for our species’ survival.

Part of me wants to be as firm as Izzo on the matter. It would be easier to simply renounce my selflessness and keep Amber close even as she doubts this union. Yes, her body and her soul sing to me. But she still wants to go home, and I’m beginning to think she will never truly be happy with us unless she tries everything to get away first. There’s still a chance for her to fly back to Earth. Her suggestion of using a Sky Tribe shuttle isn’t as far-fetched as we made it out to be.

It does mean that I have to sacrifice my love for her. I have to let her go. Isn’t this what true love is? Alana would have agreed. I miss her terribly, but I had to let her go, too. Granted, the plague took her, but if that hadn’t happened, if someday Alana had chosen to leave us, I would’ve had no choice other than to respect her decision. Izzo would’ve been furious and just as broken. Yet he, too, would have let her go. So why aren’t we doing the same with Amber?

Because we’re scared of spending the rest of our lives without a mate, without a woman to love and to raise our family with, we’re scared of leaving Valen without a mother’s touch, of sleeping in a bed deprived of her softness and warmth. My heart breaks as I understand that Amber’s happiness must come first. Izzo will probably hate me for a long time, but I have to give this a try. If it fails, if there is truly no way of sending Amber back to Earth, then I’ll be relieved and with an easy conscience, and Izzo will be none the wiser.

But I have to try.

So, I leave Kai and Maur to their business. Jewel and Cynthia stay with them—the former to assist with the bomb-making and the latter to make sure Maur doesn’t do anything to snap his stitches wide open.
