Chapter 14

It seemed as though Rem’s life was now divided into two distinct phases: before he’d met Tyra, and after. Three full days had passed since her arrival on his planet and already he couldn’t fathom life without her. Her sweet presence illuminated the dark corners of his heart and already he was starting to imagine the family they might one day have.

Children. He had never given offspring much thought, as he had never planned to take a mate. A smile touched his lips as he recalled how furious he’d been with King Vaath when the royal had ordered him to take a human female as a bride. But now he would not trade Tyra for all the riches in the universe. She was his precious female and she was growing on him more and more each day.

He stared across the dinner table at her and smiled when she met his eyes. She returned his smile and then took another bite of the pasta dish she’d prepared for dinner. She’d made something called spaghetti and meatballs in the food replicator and though he’d never tried Earth food before, he found he liked it very much. And as he held her gaze, he finally grasped the depth of his former loneliness. Gods, how could he have been so foolish as to believe he didn’t want or need a mate? It wasn’t natural for a Marttiaxoxalian male to live out his days alone.

His wrist comm buzzed and he glanced down at the message, just to ensure his presence wasn’t needed at the palace. He was due to return to his guard duties tomorrow, but if there was an emergency he would not hesitate to fulfill his pledge to protect the king as well as Marttiaxoxalian interests.

He frowned at the message. It wasn’t from his guard unit or the palace, but it was a message from the Martian Affairs office in Bismarck, the city Tyra had called home. The clerk’s message indicated that Tyra’s uncle already had a functioning video comm installed in his home and claimed his comm number had been active for over fifteen years.

He glanced up at Tyra as he allowed his utensil to clatter on the table. He swallowed hard and glared at her. She had lied to him. But why? The message also included the comm number of Tyra’s uncle. Perhaps Rem could contact her relative and demand an explanation.

But no. He ought to interrogate his mate first. Find out why she’d lied to his face. A growl built in his throat and he noticed her fidgeting as she looked at him. Her face then went pale.

“Is-is something wrong, Rem? You, um, you look angry.”

“Finish your meal,” he said in a sharp tone, his happiness from moments ago evaporating. “After dinner, I want you to go to our bedroom and wait for me. We have something to discuss.”

Her eyes filled with worry, but she nodded and slowly took several more bites of spaghetti. He rose and started clearing the table.
