other way around.”
She took a seat on the sofa noting how comfortable it was. The room seemed to fit all of them well. Although she was sure when she looked in earlier Victor and Selma were sitting in here and the room seemed so small, intimate and cozy. It didn’t make sense.
“Is there a problem with Gabe?”
She turned to study Aviana. She loved her dark skin; it almost made her look like royalty with those brown eyes that lit up with an inner fire. It was like she could see everything. She noted that she was just a little bigger than she was. Which actually gave her hope that Gabe really did like her curves and wasn’t just desperate for a wife.
“I think you need to ask Gabe.”
“He’s not going to tell me. Please if there’s something I should know, tell me.”
Maybe he was a killer? Okay, now she was thinking stupid thoughts. That male wasn’t a killer but maybe he was in trouble. Maybe the alien police were coming after him? What if it had something to do with Melissa? So yeah, her brain was going to come up with a thousand things until she knew what was going on.
“Rylan is worried about him. He thinks that until Gabe gets soul-bonded he may slip into a form of insanity that would cause him to have to terminate Gabe’s life.”
Taya sat there, she didn’t move, or open her mouth. She simply waited to wake up from the nightmare she was currently in. Was it possible she was still lying on the table in Zuhun’s attic?
“Taya, are you all right?” Aviana’s frantic voice reached her but she ignored it.
Any minute now the nightmare would end. She knew it was a nightmare because there was no way, nice, sweet, Aviana had mentioned death and Gabe in the same sentence. Wake up, she whispered to herself.
“It’s not a nightmare,” Selma’s voice penetrated her brain. There was an ancient feeling to Selma. When she spoke Taya had to listen.
“It has to be a nightmare because no one in their right mind thinks I’m going to let them hurt Gabe.”
“That’s nice to hear but it’s going to take more than that.”
Taya finally moved, turning to face Selma. “Then why don’t you explain what it will take.”
“Paige,” Selma said her name but nothing else.
“My story starts when I walked down an alley in LA.” She went on to explain how she came to know Cal, how she had to make a decision about taking a test, and would she even pass it in order to become soul-bonded.
When she was done, Aviana picked up the story describing her first meeting with Rylan and then Gabe. The test was so different for her. There was no way to tell what Taya would go through if she decided to soul-bond with Gabe. On this one thing they were all clear. This was forever. She owed it to herself to do what was right for Taya and let Gabe take care of himself.
When they were done, she picked up her bags, said a polite thank you, and walked out the room and up the stairs until she reached her room. With care she locked the door behind her, put up her purchases that she knew she would no longer need, and went to lie on the bed. She pulled the covers over her head and sank into a deep sleep.
There was a knock at the door telling her it was dinner time. She politely declined and went back to sleep. When the next day came she did the same thing. She wasn’t hungry and she wasn’t leaving the room.
Seven days she holed up in her room. Soon she would have to get some food but she was still thinking. Huh, she bet her doctor would be praising her on how she ignored her stomach and stayed in bed ignoring the world.
There was another knock at the door, one she ignored.
“Taya, it’s been seven days and I haven’t said a word. So I’m saying it now. It’s over. You have sixty minutes to get up, clean up, and meet me downstairs for breakfast or I will take the door off the hinges and bring breakfast to you. Believe me; you won’t like what happens after that.”
