Chapter 2



"I don't get it, " Renee said as she paced the floor of the lab beneath the church.



"What does it matter Renee you're damn lucky to have gotten out of there!" Street yelled in frustration.



Renee shook her head. She hadn't told Street the whole story about what she and Howlyn were doing before he yelled at to leave

him. For some reason Renee felt a void but she couldn't tell what.



"Maybe his obsession with you isn't as much of an obsession as you thought, " Street said trying to help her rationalize what

happened.



Renee stopped her pacing and leaned against a chair and crossed her arms. "Maybe...I don't know. He just seemed to be taking

the bait one second then the next he was yelling at me to leave. It just doesn't make any sense. I figured he would've at least kept

me on the ship locked away or something, " Renee tried to explain more to herself than Street.



"Renee...you sound upset that he let you go, " Street said confused.



Renee looked up at Street and just stared at her red haired friend. Maybe Street was right. Maybe she did feel upset he didn't

want her after all his pursuits of her.

Meanwhile, on the mothership Howlyn stood on the bridge of the mothership looking down at Earth. He closed his eyes and took a

deep breath. He couldn't believe he just let her go. A woman he found extremely desirable and he just let her leave. It wasn't that

he thought she wouldn't be a good mate. In fact she would be perfect for him he thought. Such spirit and strength. She acted more

like an Atavus female than she realizes. Still that doesn't explain why he released her.



He snarled in frustration and turned away from the window and sat down in Zo'or's old chair.



"Why so upset Howlyn?" A voice called.



Howlyn growled, "I don't recall asking you to join me Juda."



It was Juda's turn to growl, "I dont' recall needing an invitation." She moved into Howlyn's view and stood in a seductive stance.

But, when does an Atavus not look attractive.



"Why do you wish to torment me about Renee Palmer?" he asked standing from his chair to stand in front of her.



Juda smiled, "Because it amuses me how you can find food so desirable."



Howlyn reached out and grabbed her around the throat and brought her close to his face. "You will do well to remember Juda I

choose my lovers...not you. Besides, you don't have much room to talk you have your own human desires, " he released his grip on

her neck and backed away from her.



Juda knew what he meant...Sandoval. She did desire him. He wasn't like any human she'd ever met. He was much like an

Atavus.



"Fine...if you wish to choose the human over me. Then I choose Sandoval over you, " she said spitfully and turned and left the

bridge leaving Howlyn to himself.



"You do that, " he said. He sat back down in the chair and thought...about Renee.
