“There you are, my pet.”
    She blasted both men at the same time. “I am no one’s pet.”
    Jianne watched the men shift on the ground as they tried to rise, so she shot them again. Cowl’s hood fell back, and she saw the same features that had been at the reserve. Whatever he was, his features were very attractive and his skin was luminous, but she still stood with her fists ready and her blasters charged.
    He opened dark silver eyes and they crinkled in a pained smile. “He was right. You are impervious to us. Excellent. I look forward to meeting you again, my pet.”
    She was about to ask what next time, when the four men shivered and disappeared. “Oh, that is not good.”
    Jianne was still in a battle-ready mode when the real Guardians burst through the broken door. She swung her fists toward them, and the light whine of the blasters was loud in the sudden silence.
    Cowl came forward. “Easy, Jianne. It’s us.”
    With her name came relief. “They looked like you, all of you, and then they disappeared.”
    Cowl frowned. “Did he remove his hood?”
    She knew which one he was referring to. “Yes. He said something about me being impervious and someone being right, and then they shivered and were gone. If I had the relays up, I could have tracked the power signature, but I had to shut everything down to delay their finding me.”
    Twist was surprised. “They were after you?”
    “Did they take anything from the base aside from wires and camera feeds?”
    Roil shook his head. “No.”
    “Then, I would hazard a guess that they were indeed after me. Though I have no idea why.” She relaxed and dropped her fists to her sides.
    Flare grinned, “Your armour is nice.”
    “Thanks. It was a gift from a friend. She gets a lot of the latest tech and passes it on to me.” Her voice was light as she swayed in place.
    Cowl stepped forward. “Are you all right? You look very pale.”
    His countenance blurred, and she felt hands take hold of her arms. “I feel very pale.” She exhaled with a gust. “Where am I going to live now?”
    The men around her shrugged as she was picked up by Cowl and carried back through the tunnels to the main seating area of the Guardian base.
    Twist brought her a cup of tea and Roil was making some sort of luncheon.
    She smiled weakly. “I had no idea you guys were so domesticated. You will make some women good companions one day.”
    Flare looked at her with an innocent expression. “Some of us sooner than others.”
    Her mind was tired, but she wasn’t stupid. “What is going on? The break-in today was just to get you away from here so they could come after me, but I am nothing exceptional.”
    Cowl sighed and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “You may not have been exceptional before you came to Cadar, but now, you are something my people find most desirable, and we are both aggressive and persistent.”
    Roil interceded. “Of course, Cowl has an image painted by one of your own people that foretells your destiny and his are intertwined. He had no idea how it would be possible that you were looking into his eyes, but there it is in the picture.”
    “Picture?”
    “On Yacaro, Charm’s mate is an artist, and she can paint your fate. Some folks ask about wealth, some health, but most want to know their true mate. I was no exception.” Cowl smiled and stroked her cheek again.
    “Where is this picture?” She struggled to sit up. Armour was not meant for lounging.
    As if he had caught on to her distress, Cowl started disarming her and removing the plates one by one.
    When she was sitting in her bodysuit and boots, she finally started to unkink the muscles that had been tense since the whole thing started.
    Cowl chuckled. “The picture is with the artist.”
    “If the picture is with the artist, how did he know about me?” Jianne tried to move out of his embrace, but he hung onto her while Roil pushed the tray table toward her with a shy smile.
    “Eat this. You look
