Chapter Fifteen

Aidon swam back to consciousness slowly, but for the first time in longer than he could remember, he didn’t feel weakness tugging at his veins. He could taste flovat juice on his lips and knew that he’d made it back just in time. He should have been relieved. Instead, all he felt was the weight of the chains binding him to this planet.

Even before he opened his eyes, he caught Hanna’s lush scent and started to relax, knowing she was close by. He could tell that his grandfather was there as well, but no matter what his faults, he didn’t believe the old man would try and hurt his mate. But then he heard his grandfather offer Hanna something, and he opened his eyes in time to see her raising a piece of jinsar fruit to her mouth.

Horrified, he struck it away and glared at his grandfather. How could he do such a thing?

“I should have known I couldn’t trust you,” he said bitterly.

His grandfather wore the public form, the one that all Pardorians assumed when dealing with outside races, but he looked the same as always. Arrogant and untouchable.

“I was only doing what needed to be done,” the old man said.

“I don’t understand.” Hanna looked between the two of them. “Was something wrong with the fruit?”

“No, saachi. It simply has some…unpleasant side effects.”

“Unpleasant?” His grandfather snorted. “Don’t you mean necessary? Life-giving?”

“For a Pardorian,” he said firmly. “Not a human.”

“For a mate,” his grandfather said, equally firmly.

Aidon’s eyes flew to Hanna’s face. This was not the moment he would have chosen to make such an announcement, but to his relief, she merely looked confused.

“I don’t understand.”

“I’ll explain it to you later,” he said, reaching for her hand. As soon as their skin touched, a wave of desire washed over him, and it took all his control not to snatch her into his arms. The shifting sickness still ran hot in his veins. He forced his gaze away from her and found his grandfather watching, a scowl on his face.

“You don’t have to repeat all your father’s mistakes.”

“Just shut up,” he said impatiently and started to sit up. “We’re leaving.”

“Aidon, are you sure? Are you that much better?” Hanna’s big blue eyes were warm with concern.

“I’m sure, saachi,” he said quickly even though he could still feel the lingering weakness.

“At least eat the damn fruit, boy,” his grandfather growled.

It galled him to take anything from the old man, but he needed to be alert and strong when he guided Hanna through the jungle. He reached reluctantly for the bowl of fruit.

“It’s okay for you to eat that?” Hanna’s eyes followed him as he lifted the cube of jinsar to his mouth, and she licked her lips. Fuck. She was hungry. As much as he hated to do it, his pride was not as important as seeing that his mate was fed. He glared at his grandfather.

“Will you bring her something to eat? Something safe?”

His grandfather studied his face, then nodded, turning to leave the room.
