Raiden Shou knew who his mate was before he took his
first breath. Hard to believe? Well, when it comes to these Tah’Narians and
their young, nothing is impossible.
Did destiny bring Raiden and Dayo together? Or
something else? And does it really matter when the love of a lifetime awaits?
Follow Raiden and Dayo from birth to their mating day.
See how their bond evolves as they grow older, how the struggle of being part
of the Tah’Narian royal family takes on an unexpected meaning to the young
warriors, and how their hopes and dreams cumulate into a future they can’t wait
to embrace at long last.
Excerpt:
“Goodness, Raiden, I swear you’ve
grown since I last saw you. Come on in. Dayo’s in his room. I’ll buzz Dale and
let him know you’re here.”
“Thanks!”
Excited, Dayo tore out of his room…
and promptly collided with Raiden. It was like hitting a force field—no give it
all. “Omph!”
Laughing, Raiden grabbed Dayo by the
shoulders to keep him from falling. “Sorry.”
Dayo wiggled in Raiden’s arm, trying
to get his feet back under him. “Jeez. Look where you’re going.”
Raiden snorted. “You ran into me.”
“Whatever.” He’d learned that term
not long ago from his dad, who apparently wasn’t too happy he’d picked it up.
Dayo thought it was a great word. “Hey, you wanna go outside?”
Raiden released Dayo, then flicked
his ear. “When do I not?”
“Hey!” Dayo pulled at his ear,
flashed a fang at Raiden, and huffed. Why did Raiden have to be so much bigger
than him? He eyed Raiden’s tail. He’d yank it, like Szin was always doing, but
that really made Raiden growl. Maybe later when Raiden wasn’t expecting him to
get even.
“Right. Just let me…. Hold on.” Dayo
rushed back into his room and searched through the mess on his desk. “There it
is!” He grabbed a small communication device his dad always made him carry when
Dayo wasn’t at home. He slipped it into his pocket and met Raiden, who leaned
against the doorframe. “Let’s go. Just lemme me tell Dad we’re going outside.”
“All right.” Raiden followed Dayo to
the main living area, where his dad sat on the couch, speaking on a
communicator.
“Hey, Dad, Raiden and I—”
“Hold on a sec, Dale.” Dad glanced
at Dayo, his eyes narrowed. “What have I told you about interrupting me when
I’m talking to someone?”
Dayo poked his lower lip out. Dale
and his dad talked all the time. It wasn’t like they ever said anything
important. “Sorry. You said not to.”
“Actually, what I said was to get my
attention before you launch into whatever you’re wanting to tell me,” Dad
gently corrected. “Which usually includes you doing it at the top of your
lungs, but that’s another matter. Anyway, what’s up?”
“Raiden and I wanna to go outside.
Okay, thanks! Bye!” Dayo started toward the elevator.
“Hold your horses, youngling. That’s
fine, just—hold on, Dayo. What was that, Dale?”
Dayo shifted from foot to foot. Now
what? They were just going outside, not leaving the planet. Jeez.
“Yeah, I will.” Dad pinned Dayo with
a look. “Dale said to remind you two to stay in the yard. In other words, do
not go to the waterfall—which, if you’ll remember, is not part of the yard. Stay close, got it?”
Dayo scowled, his tail thumping on
the floor. Why was his dad always embarrassing him in front of his friends?
“Daaaaad.”
“Nope.” Dad held up his hand. “Not
doing this, and get that look off your face. You either stay around here, or
you stay in your room. Or….” Dad paused, a grin crossing his face. “Or I go
with you.”
Go
with us? “We’ll stay close by!” Dayo screeched, understanding the threat.
That’d ruin all their fun. He was tempted to stomp his foot but caught himself.
He wasn’t a small youngling anymore, no
matter what his dad thought. When was his dad gonna figure that out? “Promise.”
“Thought so. And if I buzz you,
answer me. Be back before dark too,” Dad added.
