Chapter 17

Keran

A murderous rage erupted inside me upon hearing the foul words Vintor addressed to my woman. The same fury twisted my men’s faces into a snarl. Were we not still airborne, I might have rushed inside to give him a proper trouncing. How dare he disrespect her like that?

Tagar had to swiftly mute the mic to Dawn’s earpiece when I started cursing out loud. Even though the likelihood of anyone else hearing us through it was slim, we wanted to limit the risks of our transmission getting intercepted and would therefore keep her incoming communications to a minimum.

Despite having expected the hybrids’ reaction at realizing Dawn was mine, I hated that she should be subjected to their anger and sense of betrayal. Although the camera didn’t show me her face, I knew her well enough to know it was cutting her deeply. And yet, it pleased me that my claim on Dawn was no longer a secret. It had pissed me off to see them all drooling over my woman.

My respect for Jaek grew another notch when he came to her rescue. A sliver of guilt clawed at me. He genuinely loved Dawn. While I couldn’t claim the same, I could see myself eventually getting there.

Nirkon calling the start of the meeting swept away my wandering thoughts. At last, we were going to find out what this was all about. As much as I ached to yank Dawn right out of there, having so many of the hybrids surrounding her reassured me. Even as angry as they were with her for choosing me, they had all been ready to intervene when Vintor had gone off on her. Had Jaek not stepped in first, I didn’t doubt one of the others would have.

“She’s doing a great job at giving us a good view of what is happening,” Tagar said approvingly.

I nodded, my heart filling with pride. The rest of the crew also expressed their agreement. It pleased me tremendously how much my men had taken to Dawn. It boded well for the future I could foresee with her.

“What the fuck?!” I exclaimed.

The sight of three Sarenians entering the room from the side doors and stepping onto the stage shattered all warm musings about my woman. My crew’s shocked gasps echoed my dismay.

“Do we know who they are?” I asked angrily.

A million different thoughts fired off in my mind as I tried to make sense of their presence here.

Tagar cursed up a storm. “That’s Deimos Arrin, one of the highest-ranking officers of the Sarenian secret service.”

“There’s no way Zerien would have authorized whatever this mission is without informing me!” I exclaimed in disbelief.

Tagar shook his head. “Deimos belonged to Emperor Nemrox’s inner circle. Prince Zerien has been forming his own council in preparation for his coronation. I understand Faolen is gradually taking over some of Deimos’s responsibilities when the transition is complete.”

Faolen had proven to be an extremely effective agent when he had kidnapped Krygor, Hope, and their daughter Siona. Instead
