Knacayn: A Terraneu Novel (Book Seven) Read Online Free PDF

nothing more
than to get closer to him, not put more distance between them. However, wanting
something and making it work in the real world were two different things.
    “I see.” The look on his face was enough to make her bite the inside of
her cheek. She wasn’t going to relent. She had to stand firm. “Is it because of
what the male said? That you would be a traitor to your people if you chose a
male from my world?”
    Kenzie was feeling trapped by her own words and those of Weston and
Bradley. “I am the Rebel liaison and it means a lot to me I was selected. I
have worked my whole life to be seen as a valuable and respected member of my
community. Weston and Bradley can’t be the only ones who feel that way. If the
others are starting to question my loyalties, it could harm my position.”
    “I understand your desire to be useful to your people Kenzie. You have great diplomatic ability and I see how you
serve those around you, but when are you going to do something for yourself?
The communities are going to be combined soon enough and then what? Are you
going to spend the rest of your life jockeying for power?”
    “As opposed to what?” Kenzie could feel her ire rising. She didn’t want
to be fighting with Knacayn. How had her happy day gone so horribly wrong?
    “As opposed to leaving Earth…” he blurted and she froze.
    “ Oh, Knacayn.” He had jumped up and
she went to stand also. “I have so much I am doing here. I never thought to
leave Earth. Even if I were to agree to date you, it would be an open
relationship.”
    “Males from Terraneu are not good at open relationships.” His face was implacable . She had obviously hit a sore spot.
“Everyone needs a partner to lean on. You cannot keep going as you are without
letting someone get close to you.”
    “Shhh,” she was suddenly stiff and alert.
    “You may not like what I am saying…”
    “ Shhh, ” she repeated more
adamantly. Her eyes were frantically scanning the area around them.
    “You need to let me help you. I want us to be closer—”
    Kenzie used all of her strength and tripping skills to get Knacayn on his
back.
    “This is not exactly what I had thought...” he started, but she slapped a hand over his mouth.
    “Listen!” Their heavy breathing was the only sound in the air. They were in a meadow, but there was no bird sounds in the
trees, no construction noises from the community. Nothing.
    He nodded his head that he understood and she was about to take her hand
off his mouth when she was abruptly pulled straight into the air.
    Screaming at the suddenness of floating in the air, she frantically tried to get her bearings. She was about five
feet off the ground, held there by her jacket which was digging into her
throat. Before it could become uncomfortable, she was shifting. Reaching over
her head, she tried to strike or grab whatever had a hold on her jacket. With a
violent shake that made her see stars, she was moving forward.
    “Kenzie!” Knacayn was struggling to get to her but wasn’t moving forward.
“Let her go!” He was doing a strange dance in place. His arms were behind him
as he thrashed to get to her. Kenzie had seen Knacayn doing his military
training as well as physical workouts over the three months he had been on
Earth. He was a very fit man. Adept, as far as she could tell, in all forms of
self-defense. If something could hold him back ,
it would have to be very strong to accomplish it.
    “Knacayn!” She screamed again as
she picked up speed toward the domes of the new community. “What’s happening?”
she couldn’t see him and hoped he was okay.
    “I do not know.”
    She was relieved he seemed to be right behind her, but her relief didn’t
last long. When they reached the center of the planned community, right before
the new Square of Four was the rest of the workers and Knacayn’s family.
Bunched together in groups they huddled, and Kenzie noted Weston was in the
circle. Some of the females from
