Chapter 34

Kor suffered the attentions of the healer, barely. He felt a desperate urge to see Diana.

His mother came in a rush of veils, her face a mask of panic. "Kor!"

"I'm fine, Mother. Now calm down. Where's Diana?" he said, peering around her robust form, looking for his mate.

"I can see you're fine. It's Diana who's not. He's taken her, Kor."

"What? Who's taken her?" Fear and anger gripped his heart in equal measures.

"Kil. Lisa, your neighbor, saw him."

"Where did they go?" asked Kor, ripping the tubes that were rehydrating him from his arms.

"I don't know. Kil has somehow slipped the video relays."

"I need some clothes," said Kor, realizing his state of undress when he pulled back the covers.

His mother, ever one step ahead, opened her bag and dumped out pants and a shirt.

"I don't have boots," she said, shrugging apologetically.
