Sef stared at the monitors inside his office in guardian headquarters. He’d spent the last hour watching the private security feed to his residence, keeping an eye on Harper. The way they’d left things—her crying, him feeling like a villain—the entire situation had left a raw, bitter taste in his mouth. So he’d decided to check on her and ended up suffering right along with her.

Harper hadn’t moved from his bed. She just lay there, crying into her pillow. The sight of her in such pain was tearing him apart. He would rather have faced a hundred resistance fighters armed to the teeth with Krinar weaponry than see her like this.

But what else could he do? He had his duty, and protocol had to be observed. He couldn’t just let her roam free in the Center until he was certain she wouldn’t do anything. His people wouldn’t hurt her, but if something happened, she might make the other guardians nervous. They could stun her and detain her and even erase her recent memories before he was notified. He could change that—or rather, she could. If he officially claimed her as his charl, she would have that protection. But he wouldn’t—no, couldn’t—do that until he knew she wanted it, freely and without the safety of her brothers hanging over her head.

She had to want to be with him because she cared about him, not out of some misguided need to sacrifice herself for her brothers. And because of all this, it meant that every second she was outside of his home alone, she was at risk. He had no way of knowing what she would do in an attempt to reach or rescue her brothers. The idea terrified him.

The thought of losing Harper sent a chill down his spine. She no doubt assumed he wanted her only for her body, but she couldn’t be more wrong. In the short time he’d had with her, he’d realized that she was a female unlike any other. She wasn’t just intelligent—she was brilliant, with so much potential. She was also loyal, brave, compassionate, and sensual. Everything a male like him could dream of and hope for in a mate.

“Your latest assignment?” A familiar voice broke through his brooding thoughts. Familiar because it sounded much like his own. He swiveled in his antigravity chair.

His twin, Soren, stood there looking amused. He wore a human three-piece gray suit, which meant he must have recently come from his duties as ambassador.

“Soren, what are you doing here?” With a subtle gesture, Sef switched off all the surveillance screens behind him. He didn’t want Soren to realize he was spying on his own house.

“I agreed to show Bianca one of the Centers here in the Midwest.”

Sef raised a brow in challenge. “She’s already visited the Center near Monterey several times since you moved there. Why would you bring her to Kansas City?”

His brother chuckled. “Perhaps I came to tell you that Mother and Father have left Krina recently. They intend to move to Earth and will be planet side in a few days.
