Bab 117: A Blessing Or A Curse  

The Priest watched silently as Ariel and the males claiming that she was theirs walked out of the hangar bay into the heat of the two suns. It killed him inside to watch her disappear with other males when she was meant to be his…

But that was okay.

They were on the same planet now, and they had more than enough time to sort everything out and for her to understand who she belonged to.

The Priest stepped forward, his black robe helping him blend in with the shadows with every step he took. Yes, Ariel could wait right now, but there was someone who could not.

The movement of the clergymen behind him caused the Rein to shift his attention away from the retreating figures and back to the Priest. Unlike the greeting he had given to Ba'dqeel, the Rein's face seemed to have brightened as soon as he saw the Priest.
