man’s face and was relieved to see that he wasn’t the only one affected by her beauty.
    Luc shifted in his seat. “I contacted my people to let them know I’m fine.” He tossed the communicator at Dare. “I would suggest that you do the same. Your people are threatening war against both my people and the Carillians. ” He gave them a rueful smile. “I don’t think war between our people is in any of our best interests. Better to save our enmity for the Banarts.”
    Dare inhaled sharply. “You are correct in that it would not be in our people’s best interest. Together we have a chance to defeat the Banarts . Divided, we shall surely fall.”
    Luc stood and began to pace. “On the other hand, should our people band together, we could spell the end of the marauding Banarts .”
    Dare nodded, strode to the corner of the room, and spoke to his people in low tones. Looking up, he pinned Jaynee with his stare.
    “Where are we?” he pushed aside her gauzy 49

    curtain to peer outside. There were no obvious landmarks near. Only gray, nondescript two-story buildings with small signs surrounded her small shop.
    Jaynee cleared her throat. “We are two minutes south of the time-keeper in the Carrillian City Centre Square. Shop number Oh-two-four-two.”
    Dare relayed the address to his people, closed the communicator and set it on the counter. He turned toward his newly acquired mates. “They’re sending a transport. They want us to meet them in the square.” He turned to Jaynee and raised his brow. “They will be there within the hour awaiting us. Is there anything you wish to pack?”
    “Pack?” Jaynee swallowed and licked her lips. Her gaze darted nervously between them. “I don’t plan to go anywhere. This is my home.” She held her arms wide, as if to encompass the entire shop and dwelling. “You can’t expect me to just pick up and leave.”
    Dare sat down at the table and sighed. He should have known it was too good to be true. He should have known this was all too easy. What if he didn’t have a mate and allies after all? What if they refused him, refused his needs? If they did, he’d never have another family, children of his own. He had to try and make her understand, make them both understand.
    “You don’t realize what your decision means. 50

    You must return to Savar with me. If we do not complete the mating ritual on Savar within the next four days, you will doom us all.”

    Jaynee gasped. How could she not? “What do you mean, I doom us all?” Somehow she knew—knew with absolute certainty—that whatever he was about to tell them would change her life, would force her to do as he wanted.
    She watched as he straightened in his chair, looked from her to Lucan and back. “If we don’t perform the mating ritual on the night of Savar’s full moons, then our mating, our true binding will never be complete. Not only will we never link as we are meant to, completely, soul to soul to soul, but having any children of this union will be an impossibility.”
    Pain shafted through her at the knowledge that children might not be part of their union. Always, in the back of her mind, she’d hoped for children, a home. She rose, took a step toward Dare, feeling his pain as though it were her own. Behind her, she heard Lucan’s chair scrape back as he too made to rise. Apparently, neither she nor Lucan could handle seeing the crushing blow her words had wrought on this strong man.
    Reaching out to him, Jaynee ran her hand down 51

    his face, using her touch to soothe the pain away.
    “Talk to me, Dare. Tell me what’s going on.” She turned her head, saw the worry in Lucan’s eyes and with his slight nod of encouragement, she dropped to her knees in front of Dare. She laid her hands upon his clenched fists, trying to soothe away his tension, his pain. “Tell us,” she pleaded, needing to
