absence. If they were friendly, we’d leave them be. But if not… we’d fight to ensure our safety.
Sax and I were supposed to be talking about starting repairs on the city, but there was a subject we’d been avoiding that would soon be impossible to ignore. In fact, it was past time we discussed it.
“We need to talk about Rex,” I said, my voice echoing off the nearby buildings on the empty street.
Sax’s body went stiff, and I hated how the news had affected him. He’d been the closest to Rex, and as someone who’d been imprisoned by the Uldani and pricked with needles as they sought to turn him into a breeder, he was surely haunted by what could have happened to our brother. His jaw worked. “I know.”
“What do you want to do?”
He whipped his head to me with his brows lowered. “What do you mean?”
“You want to search for him?”
“Of course, I flecking do,” he growled.
“Don’t get angry with me,” I snapped back. “I’m just as affected by this as you are.”
He huffed and kicked a rock, which went sailing through an already broken window in a nearby building. “I know that. I just can’t get the picture of him out of my mind of him laying on one of their tables while they touched him…” He closed his eyes. “You know they wouldn’t have spared him pain.”
The thought of them touching my brother made gorge rise in my throat. “No, I’m sure they didn’t. Gram still can’t find records on the experiments. Nero had searched everything to no avail. I just need to know that you’ll be okay with whoever he is now.” I swallowed. “Whatever he is.”
Sax lifted his head and looked me square in the eye. “I don’t care what they did to him or what they turned him into. He’s still my brother.”
I nodded. “I feel the same.”
He clasped my neck, and I clasped his. Our foreheads touched, and I reveled in the strength of my brother’s body beneath my palm. I couldn’t imagine not having him here with me. I also couldn’t imagine not doing everything in my power to bring Rexor home.
“We’ll wait until our chits are born and our mates are settled,” I said. “And then, we’ll bring our brother home.”
Sax’s smile, the one I’d missed, spread across his face. “Order received, drexel.”
My comm alert went off, and I glanced at the screen. The words there sent all the blood draining down to my feet. I swayed and would have dropped the comm if Sax hadn’t grabbed it.
He read the words and then, the flecking shet, laughed long and loud. “Let’s get back to Norjic, brother. You’re about to be a father.”
We sped back to our village on our hover bikes in record time. There, I watched my perfect mate, my cora-eternal, push out a perfect son with blue skin, little horns, and a shock of dark hair. He screamed in my face with powerful lungs until I handed him to my mate, who let him feast on her milk.
We named him Corthin, a mashup of the planets where his parents had been born. As he drank greedily from my mate’s breast, I leaned down and pressed a kiss to her sweaty forehead.
Exhausted, she still smiled at me, love glowing from her pretty eyes. “He’s perfect,” she whispered.
He was, and I vowed to give her the perfect life she’d always dreamed on the most perfect planet in the galaxy.
Curious about Rex? Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging! His book is coming very soon!
