Chapter 4

Rayn steadfastly returned her gaze and saw the pain in her eyes. It was an uncomfortable moment for everyone, one for which he had no other words. He arose swiftly, and retorted, “Thank you, Xarrid. For once, could you not keep your blistering thoughts to yourself?” He sighed deeply. This had become quite awkward.

To Rayn’s surprise, Sharra interrupted and said, “Maddie, Rayn, I think the two of you need some time alone. Come, my brothers, let us give them some space.”

“Wait, all of you stay. Maddie come with me please.” Rayn grabbed Maddie’s arm and marched her up to his room.

“What did he mean by ‘you forfeited your birthright’ and all that other stuff? Have I caused all of this?”

“Maddie, I chose this. You caused nothing. I would do it all again in a minute, too. Come with me,” he said grabbing her arm.

“Where are we going?”

They entered his bedroom and he pulled her to him as they sat together on a sofa in front of the fire.

“I have wanted to tell you the whole truth since first we met. I am the son of the Great Leader of Vesturon. My name is Rayn, but my full name is Alexyon Rayn Devvan Rowan Yarrister. As you now know, Vesturon is a planet located in another galaxy. I am also the Firstborn, so that means one day I will succeed as Great Leader, or that was the plan anyway. Part of Vesturon’s laws, which we call our Covenants, is that no human is allowed on Vesturon for any reason. This Covenant was put in place to prevent us from changing the Earth’s future. We are so much more technologically advanced than the human race is; just think about what would happen if our technology would be shared with humans. It would alter the future course of events. Our goal is not to do that—not to interfere at all. However, I needed to get you to Vesturon for your spinal cord fusion, and the only way to do that was to break our Covenant. That is what my family was referring to.”

“What are the implications of all this? And please be honest.”

“Maddie, I will never be anything less than honest with you. The reason I could not tell you the truth earlier was if you had chosen to return to your former life, then you wouldn’t have needed to know everything. We are sworn to keep the secret, so to speak. I did not have a choice, and for that, I am sorry.”

“No, I understand. I was so confused by everything. Nothing made sense to me, and when you wouldn’t give me any clear answers, I would get so frustrated.”

“I know,” he took her hands in his. “There has been a lot that has frustrated me as well, and we will get to all of that. There are physical differences between us as well. Do you remember how you kept asking me how I could ease your worries?”

Maddie nodded.

“That is one of the differences.
