Chapter Eleven

LAUREL ALMOST DIDN’T recognize Earth when she climbed off the first of the shuttles. Only a handful of the Detyen fleet was being allowed to enter the atmosphere while the Sol Defense Agency and the joint defense task forces parlayed with the Detyen leadership to work out some sort of deal. Until the last few decades, Earth had been completely ignorant of alien life, and after first contact, which had happened before Laurel was born, aliens had begun to migrate to the planet in small numbers. They were still mostly contained to the cities, and the population of all alien species on Earth was only somewhere in the thousands.

The arrival of the Detyen Legion blew that all out of the water. Or out of space.

Humans knew about the Detyens. Quinn had explained that Kayde and his companions had acted as sort of an advance team when they took the survivors from Fenryr 1 and escorted them home. Since then, they’d been working to prepare humans for a potential attack and paving the way for cooperation between the Detyens and humans if Yormas of Wreet showed back up ready to fight.

What no one had expected was the entire population of the Detyen Legion to show up with nowhere else to go, having fled an Oscavian warship. With all of the new aliens around, Laurel didn’t expect her people to take much interest in her. She was just a human, a nobody, a farm girl from the middle of the country who might have been missed by her family, but no one else. And once her family discovered what she had done, she doubted that they would be too happy for her return. She had betrayed her fellow humans and cost her rescuers dozens of lives.

She knew her first priority should be getting in contact with her family, but she was almost glad when a woman wearing a Sol Defense Agency uniform ushered her to a waiting vehicle and whisked her away from the crowd of disembarking aliens. She didn’t see Dru, and she tried to tell herself that was a good thing. They were back on Earth now, or rather she was back on Earth and he was there for the first time, and that meant their adventure had come to an end. They never had to see each other again. Why that left her feeling hollow, Laurel wasn’t sure. He wasn’t supposed to be her mate. She hadn’t chosen him, she didn’t want to belong to anybody, and even if she did, he deserved someone way better than her. Someone who wasn’t broken, someone who wasn’t a betrayer.

Her mind was in such a jumble, she didn’t ask her driver where they were going or what they were going to do when they got there. The journey didn’t take long. The Detyen shuttle had set down at a Sol Defense Agency base just outside Washington DC in Virginia. Laurel was pretty sure they were still on the base by the time she was told to get out of the car and led into a squat concrete building.
