    Devon had moved Alpha 7 and, as a result, they were not very far from Rhylos now. Hide in plain sight—he’d said—though not really. They were in a dead solar system, orbiting a large gaseous planet that glowed deep red. It had hundreds of moons and a thick ring circling its middle for miles. Ashriel stared longingly at Alpha 7 as the replacement starcruiser Devon had acquired for Natanael shot forward. Only a half hour had gone by and already he missed Anniel. It would take just a few hours to reach Rhylos this time around. How would he convince his nephew to return? Gareth, or Cyneolle as he was now called, had been adamant in remaining to protect those he now felt were his people. He looked up to find Natanael and Eriel’s wary eyes on him. “When we return to Alpha 7, you will tell me what the big secret is,” he snapped, growing tired of their suspicious behavior. Both reapers winced. Natanael opened his mouth, but Ashriel didn’t allow him to say a thing. “You will tell me or I will beat it out of you,” he grated. Eriel snickered. “Kinky.” “You,” Ashriel growled, stabbing a finger in Eriel’s direction, “I will place a chastity belt on.” Eriel’s eyes widened with a little gasp. He looked askance at Natanael.

His eyes went back to the bear and he shrugged. “Teddy needs someone to play with him. I was never much company.” He walked toward the bed and picked the stuffed toy up. She came up behind him and leaned her cheek on his shoulder. His loneliness surprised her. “Hon, haven’t you met anyone you might be interested in getting to know a little more beyond just a little physical release?” She felt when he closed down his telepathic connection. Lately he’d been doing that more and more. It worried her. “I have too many responsibilities right now.” Anniel frowned. “Baby, you’re just twenty one.” He put the bear down and turned to her. “You didn’t come here to talk to me about my love life.” Anniel took a deep breath considering whether she should pursue trying to get him to open up about his feelings or talk about going back to Rhylos to see her son.
