release.
He collapsed on top of her, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. And she held on,
knowing she would never let him go again. Where Cale was, she needed to be with him
for her life to mean anything at all.
Chapter Thirteen
Ready to try again?
Raine nodded. Yes, let s do it. I feel the ability in me, churning in my belly, but the
translation like I had before is jumbled. Before, I heard the orb s voice. Not physically or
like we speak. Something I can t describe. Just before we entered here, I could still hear
it. Right now, nothing. Where are we?
Cale moved a little ways away from her, searching the area. I think... He snapped his
fingers. You know what, I think we re between dimensions.
Huh? She frowned.
He turned to face her. Like when you re passing through a portal and there s like this
short, I don t know, black wall or something between here and there. I think we re in that
wall.
Raine rolled her eyes. Right. I think you had too much sex.
He winked, allowing his eyes to course down over her body. The sneak had convinced
her, her light would help them to see better with no obstructions over it, as in her clothes.
So, she stood there for his amusement and pleasure, completely naked.
Cale, what happened to your father?
He went still.
Your father s letter said my father was silly enough to try to kill someone with a bus.
Why would he do that, and what did it all have to do with Albin?
He rushed up to her and took her in his arms. You must believe me, baby. I, nor my
father, had anything to do with your father s death.
I know. I believe you. I just want to understand. She fought tears thinking about how
different her life could have been. You realize what it means to me to know, right?
Yes. He pulled her down to the floor and tugged her onto his lap. My father and I
went to the third dimension sort of like you would a vacation or a fishing trip for the men.
We took Bender the year I turned ten. What had been kept quiet was that the first leader,
your father, had also frequented that side. And he
What was his name?
Lucas.
She toyed with the name wondering if it sounded like the man she had envisioned all
these years. Her mother had been named Rose, she knew already. Lucas and Rose, she
said with tears in her eyes. Go on, Cale.
He hugged her tight then continued. Lucas had secretly gotten involved with a third
dimension woman. We don t really encourage that. It opens up all kinds of issues.
Although after all these years of Shadroons stuck on that side, I wouldn t be surprised if
there s a whole new generation of half and half.
I ll bet.
During our trip over there, we ran into your father with Rose. His cube had the ability to
pick up on where all Shadroons were. Cale shook his head, a look of awe in his eyes. He
was pure Shadroon, very powerful. I m guessing normally, he would never have been
seeing Rose in a place where Shadroons were. Your side is massive, and there s no
reason to think he couldn t find a community where no Shadroon had ventured. One
could disappear in the midst and never be found unless one used the cube.
That s how you found me, she wondered.
No. Oddly enough, I dreamed about you. Shadroons have no ability to foretell by
dreams or anything. At first Bender thought I was nuts, but that dream was so powerful, I
couldn t ignore it. By my calculations, it didn t even come to me until you were eighteen.
I saw you as clear as day like you are now. I think I loved you instantly.
She grinned. Hmm, well if you had seen my homely self back then, you wouldn t have.
What do you think? The orb reached out to you? From what I ve learned so far, it never
bonds or speaks to anyone outside the first family. Are you sure we re not related?
Positive! The horrified look on his face said it all. I think it was the orb, trying to
protect you, trying to make things right. And now that you ve bonded with it, your uncle
will not be able to use it. He ll try getting you back, controlling you somehow to rule the
Shadroons.
Raine shivered. He might try hurting you, knowing how much I love you. That means
your mother isn t safe either, or Bender.
Cale had a look of fear and desperation in his eyes that Raine longed to wipe away. If she
didn t learn to control the abilities she had, if any, he could lose everything. She didn t
want to be responsible for that happening. And what abilities did she really have anyway?
She could close portals and open them wherever. What did that matter against an army
set to kill her?
We ll figure it out, Raine. I promise. Like I told you, I m not leaving you, ever.
Me either. She kissed him. Tell me the rest.
We found Lucas with Rose and she was ready to have you. He had brought her to a
hospital, and we were there because Bender, clumsy idiot that he is, broke his arm. It just
so happens that Kaz had a sympathizer also on that side. She informed him about them
being there, and before you knew it there was a swarm of Kaz men coming after Lucas.
My father told Bender and I to meet him at this certain place where we had visited a
monument or something. He, Rose and Lucas ran, which must have been hard given she
