CHAPTER SIXTEEN

EVE

Once more, I lie between the two brothers, but now in their own, generous bed. The room is warmed by two separate fires, yet no additional heat was required earlier. No, following the Ceremony I was bathed and fawned over, each brother taking turns to apply salves and healing hands. They stroked and calmed me, softly cooing into my ear as a mother would a child. The sex that followed was slow and sensual, a strange foil to the violent act of the Ceremony.

I’ve never been privy to this kind of deep love before, a love and tenderness so at odds with the pain the brothers can summon on command. Spent, the brothers sleep in perfect peace. Not a breath escapes their lips.

How funny, I think, to live on a planet with an atmosphere yet not be able to breathe the air that surrounds you.

I imagine there are many things I am still to learn about Dothkhan. The picture of myself and the two brothers firms in my mind. I no longer feel like a captive here, a foreigner on an alien world. I feel like I’ve come home.

It’s crazy to think what has eventuated ever since my ship was shot down. My entire world has been upended and thrown into chaos. Everything I thought I knew as truth has undoubtedly been a lie, but with this new understanding has come fresh purpose and possibilities.

I wake parched, and lift Stratus’s arm from my belly. I slowly slide from the bed and put on my tunic, padding out of the room and making my way towards the kitchen, smiling.

The ache between my legs so prominent following the Ceremony has dulled to a soft murmur, a reminder of the brothers and their ample appendages. I smile again, practically skipping, and don’t think I’ve ever been this happy, ever been so truly free.

I’m halfway down the hallway when there’s an almighty explosion. The force of it throws me sideways into the wall in a shower of rock and debris.

I try to brush rock and dust from my chest, but my hand is shaking and I cannot hear a thing but a high-pitched ringing that drowns out all else.

I’m confused, dizzy. Lights cut through the haze. Shapes emerge. Dark figures.

As they come into focus I pull back against the wall, shouting “No! No!” but not hearing the sound that escapes my lips.

The first Alliance soldier, a member of my father’s secretive Headhunter squad, holds his plasma rifle high scanning the area, two more emerging behind him.

I’m still protesting when they lift me under my arms, weak but doing my best to kick free and shout.

I read the soldier’s lips in front of me. “You’re safe,” he’s saying. “We’re taking you home.”

No.

Something cold is pressed against my neck and I don’t need to hear the telltale hiss to know a sedative is being injected into my body.

It takes effect immediately as I’m slung over the soldier’s shoulder. My limbs turn floppy, my vision narrowing down into a single, solitary tunnel.
