“Jax, they need space-”

The door slides open and I’m given an eyeful that’s too much for me to handle.

My poor baby sister is on her back with a Medarian’s head tucked between her thighs. I don’t have time to connect the dots, even though his glistening chin tells all the story I need. She’s naked and crying out fucking moans of pleasure.

What a fucking joke.

“Get off of her!” Screaming, I’m ready to murder this beast before Runar’s arm is suddenly around my stomach, yanking me back in place. I’m too angry to feel anything. No matter how much I wiggle and claw at his arm, my efforts do nothing.

Then this Medarian has the balls to glare at me likeI’mthe problem. He even goes as far as to bare his fangs at me.

“Varrum!” Flora’s gasp fills the air as she looks our way. She’s lucid enough to cover her chest, blushing heavily. “What’s going on?”

Varrum. The one who kidnapped her hisses at me. “You have no right to interrupt.”

Oh, I need my gun. I need a blade. I need something. Hell, let me use my fingernails. If I don’t see golden liquid spilling from this beast, I’m going to go mad.

“That’s my sister you are defiling!” My throat burns as I screech. “Like hell I’m going to stand back while she’s screaming her head off in here!”

Flora looks like she wants to die. She can’t look me in the eye, not when her little fling assures me that all of her screams were pleasured ones. Ones that were only meant for him.

The whole vessel could hear her screaming.

Runar chuckles behind me, somehow finding amusement in this. “I told you she was fine. You shouldn’t have interrupted.”

Oh, I’m going to kill them both. Nevermind sparring. Back to the original plan. I’ll find something to use on this brick wall. There has to be a medical instrument I can stab into his shoulder to aid in his release.

“Jax.” Flora’s voice is soft as Varrum stands close enough to cover her. “I’m okay. Varrum’s been keeping me safe.”

Despite being caught in such a position, she speaks softly. She’s always been my opposite, calm even in the most dire situations.

Even if I don’t have the whole story here, I can’t be the only one here to think how fucked up this is.

“Yeah, like I’m supposed to believe shoving his tongue up your cunt is keeping you safe.” I roll her eyes as I feel Runar tugging me back. “You owe me some answers–both of you.”

I’m dragged out of the medbay. If I don’t hurt him physically with my nails, my insults must surely give Runar a headache.

“All this time, I’ve been so worried about her.” Out in the hall, I start pacing the moment I’m released. “The only thing on my mind has been saving her. All this time…and she’s been fornicating with the enemy. What the fuck.”

His eyes follow my movement as his arms cross at his chest. “They are no longer enemies. She is hisRhis.”

There is that stupid word again.

“I don’t know what that means!” Crying out my frustrations, he winces like he can feel my pain. If he understood the betrayal, this ache, then maybe he’d stop throwing stupid terms in my direction. “What is it, a prisoner? His toy?”

Runar frowns. “His lifemate. Some refer to it as soulmates.”

“Oh my god.” Turning away, I can’t look at him. Not while I’m like this. Overcome by emotions, I don’t want him to see me cracking open.

Runar called me his soulmate. He thinks we’re…

Does Varrum really believe Flora is his as well?

“You are in pain.” Much to my dismay, Runar approaches me. He wraps his arms around my body and shushes me. “I want to take you somewhere quiet.”

For a brisk moment, my body is screaming to fight him off. To push away and hurt him for being associated with this pain. When his warmth engulfs me, the sensation engulfs this rush of anger.

I’m nodding without another thought. While I don’t know what I need to calm down, this man thinks he knows. So when he picks me up, I don’t put up any more of a fight. I’ve exhausted my will over all these worrisome hours.
