because of Tania. In doing so, he d met the true ones he was fated to be with. His true mates. And
what he felt for them stood head and shoulders above anything he d ever felt for her. Would he have
gone off to Settler s Mine like he had without Tania pushing him? Probably not as quickly. Might
have started at smaller, less expensive operations. So, Tania had caused him to find his mates with
her warped logic of finding hers. He couldn t be mad at her because she d helped him to find his
truth.
Tania, either you stop using the Etruscan vows, or I ll out you to the village. They re sacred. He
folded his arms in front of his chest.
She bent her head. You d really out me?
Damn straight he would. Yes. To the whole village about what you ve been doing.
Her lips pursed. Fine. I won t use the Etruscan vows any longer.
At least no one else would be forced into coming back to her. I need to go. Back to my mates. He
leaned in to kiss her cheek. Thank you. In another lifetime, he might have been sad at leaving her.
Angry at her revelation. But all he could think of was seeing Zelda and Bren again. And being their
mate in all the ways he could. A shiver rocked him.
She pulled her lip between her teeth. I am glad you found your mates. You probably don t believe
that. But it s true.
I do. Have a good life, Tania. Turning, he darted back to his fathers cabin. Time to get going to
Settler s Mine.
He stepped in the door. Dad, I m back. Getting ready to head back out. Did you find a shuttle for
me to rent to take back& He broke off as a shadow moved through the hallway. Dad?
Zelda and Bren stepped out of the darkness and into the light.

Amory s eyes widened as he stared at them. His mouth worked, but nothing came out, as though the
words were frozen.
Bren didn t say anything, preferring to stand there and drink in the sight of his mate.
Surprised to see us? Zelda s frosty voice could have frozen molten lava, though it seemed to have
the opposite effect on Amory. The angry heat rolled from him in waves after her words. Here on
your planet?
Bren winced. Not exactly the way they d intended to start off seeing Amory again. But getting to
Amory s home and finding out that he d gone off to see Tania hadn t been the best way for them to
arrive. There had been many other things they d discovered by talking to Amory s fathers that made
both of them question what was going on, but nothing that would tell them for sure. There was no
sign of Swill, the man who d been taken hostage. One of Amory s fathers had said the man who d
brought Amory had left not long after arriving. The man hadn t seemed to be there against his will.
The tale was getting confusing.
Amory s jaw tightened. Yeah. Yeah, I am surprised to see you here. He folded his arms across
his chest, closing himself off. Something shut down in him.
Bren could see the visor go over his eyes to cover the hurt that had been shining through. He wanted
to go to Amory. Take him in his arms. But how would Amory react to that? What had happened?
Why did you leave us, Amory? They had to know the truth behind Amory s leaving. If Zelda were
right, things would happen fast back at the mine.
Amory glared, but before he could answer, one of the two dads came around the corner. Amory,
how did things go with Tan& Oh, I see our visitors met you as you came in. Horatio had been
welcoming to Zelda and Bren. His fathers were clueless that they were Amory s mates. That in itself
would have set Zelda off into an irritated mood. Combined with where Amory had gone had her
pissy. They hadn t filled either of the dads in on their mating status, but it had been a blow to them
thinking that maybe Amory hadn t left freely. If he d not left of his own free will, then why hide his
mates from his dads?
Yeah, I see they have. Bitterness swam through the words, drowning in the dripping of them from
Amory s tongue.
Horatio looked back and forth between them, knowing something was going on with his son, but not
what. Maybe I should leave you three alone?
Bren liked Amory s dads right off. Horatio, in particular, was smart. A few moments alone was
exactly what they needed.
Amory shot his father a look. Could you? For a few minutes? I have some things to talk about with
them.
Horatio nodded. I ll head on in the back with Jardon for a little while. If you need us, just yell.
