You go to the council ,” he roared. “There is no going home! Get that out of your head or you will die. Once I take you to the city, I’ll get as far away from you as I can, as fast as I can. Distance is our only chance of breaking this union, and when it’s broken our names will completely disappear along with our desire. Most Stars bond to other Stars. I’m sure they’ll be willing to help you find a partner right away, and you’ll be happy. Stars can die from depression, so let’s focus on staying positive. No more talk of going home. It will depress you.”
    “I’m eighteen; my birthday wasn’t even two months ago. The last thing I want to do is get married. I don’t want anyone to help me find a husband,” Ky argued. He looked flabbergasted that she would resist such an idea. “The very thought terrifies me. I’m too young.”
    “Well,” he smiled again with perfectly pearl white teeth, “I’m glad to hear you feel that strongly, Princess, because as I said I’m a warrior . And warriors do only two things very, very well—fight and travel. Well, stud warriors do three things well—fight, travel, and breed. If they are lucky, they leave women with child.”
    “Leaving women pregnant is barbaric and disgusting !”
    “That’s life. Warriors are combatants first, and breeders second. It’s always been that way. For a warrior to form a bond, it is considered weakness. As the chief and commander of an army, marriage for me is impossible .”
    “That you’ve been with innumerable women is revolting.” Ky didn’t hide her repulsion as she glared.
    “Not every warrior is that way, so don’t look at me with disgust. Any high-ranking warrior refrains from women. They mess with a man’s head and performance while in combat. I’ve lost too many warriors preoccupied with thoughts of lovers while in battle. It’s how I lost my brother.” He didn’t even flinch at mentioning it, and then added, “My point is, you must fight any urges because once Stars get emotionally attached to someone, they can die of a broken heart. Don’t forget that. If you truly feel you’re too young, that is great. But I warn you if you begin to fall for me, remember I’m a chief. I’ve only known fighting. I won’t give up my life as a warrior because one day you fell out the sky, hit your head, and wouldn’t save your own life by stopping the bleeding.
    “I’m a fifth generation warrior and fought to get where I am. I will not lose my position unless it’s over my dead body. I’ve been in countless battles, and fought twice as many challenges to the death to gain the trust of my men. I have status I’ll never give up. I’m Cobaaron the Unconquerable , and have been unconquerable for over two hundred years. You will not be the end of me.”
    Ky scoffed. Was he joking? Two hundred years? She wasn’t sure if she should be hurt he was so strongly adamant about not wanting her, or laugh because he was an egotistical liar. “What is so funny, Princess?”
    “Two hundred years, huh?”
    “Just don’t get attached. And remember this; I won’t stay in your presence one minute longer than my duty demands. I don’t care if it means you’ll die. I’ve killed before, and you being a Star makes no difference. Warriors are wired to never fear death and kill without thought. I won’t have remorse and stay if you develop feelings. I think of two things…”
    “Yes, I got it. Sex and War,” Ky said sarcastically. “Let’s go. This conversation is pointless. I’m eighteen, need I say more?”
    “ Not sex and war, my mission and my men . I’m not a stud! I’m the chief! ” he corrected her forcefully. She shrugged, not caring. Her indifference irritated him. He opened his mouth to argue, but then turned and strolled to the edge of the cliff. “Let’s go, Princess. We can be in the city in less than a few short hours if we hurry.” He motioned for her to approach. He took her hand, gathered her close to
