response to the possibility of their one day mating, and continue explaining where she came from. “Your father had Symtarian blood. From what I’ve gathered, he was killed by one of the rogue Symtarians.”
    Which was happening to more impures than he wanted to count. Some rogues didn’t like the thought of impures being brought back to New Symtaria and mixing with the pure bloods, but it was a necessity now. The Symtarian blood was too pure and, in a weaker mind, the animal guide was taking over the human side.
    The animal guide’s natural instinct was to hunt and kill. It was causing chaos among the different tribes. The impure’s nature was more gentle, and the animal guide less dominant.
    Except for Rianna. She did not appear that gentle to him.
    “I’m of royal blood,” she stated dryly.
    He wasn’t sure about the tone she used, but he would ignore it for now. “Yes.”
    “And my mother?”
    “She too has passed. I believe the rogue Symtarian scared her so much that she left you to be raised in the institution. I’m sure for your own protection. She was later killed when the vehicle in which she was riding collided with another.” It had taken much time to discover this information. He was ready to be done with it all.
    She bit her bottom lip, blinking back the moisture that formed in her eyes. Kristor’s heart beat faster inside his chest. Was she about to cry? Women who cried made him nervous. He probably shouldn’t have delivered the information so bluntly, but what did he know about finesse? He left that to his brother. Rogar knew how to talk to women. It would be better to get Rianna back to Symtaria and let someone else handle her.
    He cleared his throat. “Now, are you ready to leave?”
    She shook her head, her expression puzzled. “Leave?”
    “Yes, to go to New Symtaria.”
    “Why would I do that?”
    “To be with your own kind.”
    “I don’t even know where New Symtaria is.”
    “It’s in another galaxy, but I have the means to take you there.”
    “The means…”
    “Yes, in my spacecraft.”
    Now she worried him. Her face drained of color. What had he said? The fear returned to her eyes as she eased her legs from under the table.
    “Is something wrong?”
    “You just told me that you’re an alien from another planet. What could possibly be wrong?”
    Even though she said nothing was wrong, her actions were telling him something different. He reached for her hand. His sister had once told him women liked to hold hands. Except Rianna jerked away from him.
    “Don’t touch me! Stay away from me and my family!”
    “I don’t understand.” He opened his hands out, palms up.
    She shot to her feet, stumbling in her haste to put distance between them. “Of course, you don’t. You’re crazy!” She took off running before he could get his feet out from under the table. He turned sideways on the bench and watched her.
    Rianna had a nice run. Long legs stretching out in front of her. She would make a good mating partner.
    Except each time they talked, she ended up running away.
    I don’t blame her. You didn’t handle that well, Labrinon said. My plan is better. Throw her over your shoulder and let us leave this barbaric land.
    “Silence!”

Chapter 3
    “H e told me he was an alien from another planet,” Ria explained to Heath.
    Heath gave an exasperated sigh, but before he could open his mouth, Ria hurried on.
    “And no, I don’t think he’s an alien, but I do think he’s certifiable, and he’s renting my old room from my parents. He could murder them in the middle of the night. I want you to lock him up. Put him in the state hospital…something.”
    “How about if I just talk to him for now?”
    Just talk? That was all? He was a threat to her parents and possibly the whole community. She opened her mouth to tell him she wanted him to do more, but his expression said that was all he would do for now. It was a start, she supposed. “Fine. You’ll see. The guy is off
