Sloan fought the urge to rush to Xan and wrap her arms around him She watched him pace and relive those intense ot a feeling in the pit of her sto how horrible ityour entire family

“Why didn’t you want to go back to your planet? Even if your faone, you could have been with your people,” Sloan said, drawing in a shuddering breath, and she fought to stay calm for Xan
