Chapter 12

I settled into the seat on the small passenger plane and stared out the window as my stomach churned.

This wasn’t like the last time I’d boarded an AWA plane. I wasn’t surrounded by friends, I didn’t have Bash’s hand to hold, and this wasn’t exactly up to par with the last plane.

Connor sat in the aisle directly across from me, his body straight and stiff like a soldier at attention. It annoyed the shit out of me to see him like that, so formal and fake. He’d never been like that when we’d been together.

I winced at the thought and immediately steered my mind elsewhere. I had plenty to obsess about at the moment, so it wasn’t hard to switch paths.

Bash had left via helicopter sent by his grandfather early this morning. The sun had just broken the horizon when it set down and he’d kissed me goodbye and whispered, “It’s just for one night. I’ll see you back at the academy tomorrow evening, alright?”

I’d nodded and pasted a convincing smile on my lips. I must have done a good job, because he’d kissed me again and climbed aboard.

Then he’d left.

I wondered vaguely if I should be worried about my newfound ability to tell a passable lie.

Then again, I thought with a quirk of my eyebrow, if I did end up going after Viktor’s Alphaship, I’d need that ability to run a nation.

That thought made my breakfast threaten to revisit. I squelched it, too.

The flight attendant, who was wearing a sharp navy blue suit cut with flattering curves, poked her head into the cockpit for a moment then turned to close the doors. She’d almost pulled them shut when her eyes went wide and she stopped.

My spine stiffened.

“Robert,” Connor snapped and moved with a speed I could barely believe to stand in front of me. His hands moved like lightning to dip beneath his jacket and came up with a gun while Robert, a middle-aged guard with kind eyes, moved to loom over me.

I sucked in air that got trapped in my chest and refused to leave. In the silence, my pulse thundered, and I waited for Viktor.

“Any room for six more?” A male voice asked in a mock begging tone.

The flight attendant’s mouth curved up and her eyes softened. She’d never noticed my guards’ response. Now, though, as she moved to push the door open again and Connor stepped up to stop her with his gun in hand, she froze.

Without saying a word, Connor pushed past her and looked for himself, then relaxed. As quickly as he’d pulled it out, he slipped the gun back into his coat and returned to his seat. I didn’t see the other guard move, but I felt his presence disappear from over my shoulder. My breath whooshed painfully out of me.

A guy I’d seen around campus several times appeared in the door, his shoulders wide enough that he had to turn a bit to get in. The flight attendant stepped back and motioned for him to move down the aisle as more students climbed the steps.
