Chapter Fourteen

King

THREE PLANES AND three hundred additional warriors take off on schedule. Beck is on one plane, Nokita on the second, and I am leading the third. We have different destinations with my plane delivering me and my men closest to Washington, though still about three hundred miles away. Beck is landing near the northwestern Canadian border, and Nokita will be in the Florida panhandle. We plan to gather information on the human population as we head closer to Washington.

Mate, my beast whines when I try to fall asleep the first night without her. We’re in an old barn, where some of the men are sleeping on mounds of hay outside while trying to keep warm. The days are mild and nights cold. After living in Cuba with the wonderful year-round temperatures, cold is not in my vocabulary or at least it wasn’t.

I miss Marinah and can’t help being worried for her too. If our plan goes accordingly, she can handle herself. She also has Labyrinth for backup. It’s the unknown pieces of this puzzle that worry me.

As a Shadow Warrior, Marinah has come so far in such a short amount of time. She’s simply amazing and she discovered there are other female warriors with her unique ability to control their beasts in our history texts. Even so, she’s special. I often wondered why so many of the females left the first colony so quickly after landing on Earth. After dealing with Marinah and watching her change almost by the minute, I think those women didn’t agree with the men and when the men didn’t concede to their demands, they left. Only a small amount of information was available on the subject and maybe someday, if we can trace Marinah’s mother’s roots, and find more texts written by those women, it will reveal the truth. Ours was a planet of war and with Marinah as my example, the women wanted nothing to do with war. Their leaving had a huge effect on the men left behind. It may have been the catalyst that changed them from killers to the placid farmers who eventually became my ancestors.

Marinah changed my thinking about humans too. Even when I had no idea she was Warrior, she proved there are good humans out there. Her father proved it before her and I needed a reminder of his lessons. Marinah assures me there are more like her and I believe her.

The ache from being away from her is steadily growing worse. I need my mate.

***

With my thoughts and dreams filled with Marinah, sleep was impossible. A heavy ache in my chest starts the day on the wrong foot. We clear from our overnight camping spot an hour before sunup. The men move quickly and quietly through the devastated countryside. We haven’t run into humans, or hellhounds for that matter, which is surprising. Humans surviving outside of Washington is the basis behind what we currently believe about the Federation and their lies.

Within an hour of the sun rising, we find our first small group of hellhounds.
