CHAPTER FOUR
A Few Minutes Ago:
Adalard was lost in thought, wondering what could have caused that drain to his powers, when a white transport passed him on the road. He was a little wary when it pulled over onto the shoulder a short distance ahead of him, but a blast of cold air and the falling snow eliminated his hesitation.
He was bound to meet a human, and this would give him time to test his human language skills. It was hard to tell through the back window if the person was male or female. The human was wearing a heavy brown coat and a dark green cap, and continued to face forward so he couldn’t see their face.
An uneasy sensation built inside him the closer he got to the transport. His first thought was that perhaps the enemy tracking his shuttle had followed him to the planet, but he quickly dismissed the idea. He knew the device must have shorted out shortly after he departed Razzine.
He slowed when he noticed the colors of the person’s aura flaring inside the cab. Varying shades of blue swirled with such clarity and vividness that he swore he could touch the strands. By the time he reached the back of the vehicle, the waves of color poured out of the open window, eagerly reaching for him.
He couldn’t have resisted looking inside if his life depended on it. Never had he seen or experienced the draw of another’s aura the way he did now. The bands swirled around him, tightening like steel cables until he was forced to the vehicle’s door. It was then that he knew he was in dangerous and completely unknown territory. He found himself staring at his mate, and it scared the hell out of him.
