To be entirely sincere, that might be the actual reason behind his anxiety to get his cousin’s mate there, pronto. He wanted his mate’s attention to himself. Right now, he was sharing scraps. She gave him physical contacts – delightful physical contacts – but her laughter, her jokes, her intimacy belonged to his cousin.

Calden knew it was his fault; he’d been the one who’d pushed her away for years, but he wanted to fix it. There was nothing wrong with Jaycn and Lena being friends. But they weren’t. They loved each other, while he wasn’t even sure Lena loved him.

“Oh. Ok, then. You could have just said…”

Something made him turn back towards his surveillance screen.

The first hangar was solely accessible to authorized ships – and right now, the only one with the access codes was supposed to be the Vergon, carrying Jaycn’s mate and Xian – yet a small speeder gave the right codes, before landing clumsily in the middle of the empty room.

Calden frowned at the state of the machine. It was overheating so badly there was smoke around it, and dark marks on the shell revealed that it had been hit – quite a few times.

“Shit.”

He ran out, before turning to Lena, who was looking at him as though he’d lost his mind.

“Come with me?”

It was probably a lot to ask, considering the fact that he hadn’t given her any inkling as to what could possibly be going on, but she didn’t hesitate, jogging next to him.

“All doors and windows closed. Oxygen up,” he ordered out loud; he wasn’t nearly as good with his microchip as Lena, and right now, trying to concentrate enough to give commands telepathically wasn’t working.

Turning to his Empress, he gave up secrecy, finally coming clean: “We’ve found Jaycn’s mate, the same way I found you.”

He read shock on her features, as well as something he preferred not to interpret. Was she jealous? Fuck. Now he knew just why he’d delayed telling her.

“She was supposed to arrive in a vessel days ago; now all we have is that speeder. Something went wrong.”

“Does he know?”

“No.”

Thankfully. Jaycn would probably have lost his mind if he had. Imagining that it was Lena, that her ship hadn’t made it, and that the only thing in the hangar was a speeder visibly attacked, he felt an untold rage.

Whoever was responsible for this, they would pay.

“Shit. What if she…”

“Xian was with her. Jaycn’s sister,” he reminded her, catching her frown. “She’s as kick ass as you. I’m sure they’ve made it out.” He had to believe they had. “They probably are in that speeder…”

Hurrying to the shuttle, they jumped and stayed silent until they’d made it to the hangar.

He could tell that Lena was pissed; not only at the situation. At him.

“Why haven’t you told me?”

Because I knew you’d hate it. Because I know you want to keep Jaycn to yourself.

None of that crossed his lips.

“It was Jaycn’s prerogative to be informed first.”

“Fuck it, Calden. You knew first.”

He just shrugged, delighted when they arrived.
