have.
    “I promise to try not to annoy you too badly.” He replied with a grin. Standing quickly he wrapped the blanket back around her shoulders and gave them a squeeze of affection, before walking around the wall again.
    How strange, he thought. There was no natural light coming in through any crevices he could find in the concrete walls outside of their clear cell. Which confirmed to him that they were underground in a basement area like the one he’d found at the cabin that Cari and her uncle Randor had been staying in before she’d been captured.
    “We’re in a basement. It’s a room built underneath a family home. Considering the size it’s not a very big place, maybe three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs judging by the size of where we are down here.”
    Balduen looked at Dare curiously. That’s the second time that she spoke his thoughts, surely it was just a coincidence. They couldn’t possibly be forming such a close bond that quickly. Could they? It had for Scaden and Cari. Maybe she just thought the same way he did? Ignoring it for now, he nodded his head in silent agreement with her assessment and turned toward a different wall.
    “I’m getting pretty damn hungry and thirsty people!” Dare’s yelled outburst startled him into spinning around to look at her.
    Shrugging her shoulders at him, Dare just stared at him for a moment.
    “What? I am! I have a high metabolism and need to eat regularly, or I get sick.” Dare defended herself with a glare.
    After checking to make sure she seemed ok he moved to put himself between her and the door that led to the house, waiting for someone to come down the stairs. If he were honest, he’d admit he was glad she said something since he really needed to use the bathroom and there were no facilities, even crude ones to use in this empty cell.
    Dare paced around for a few minutes still wrapped in the blanket. She’d been exaggerating just slightly when she said that she got ill over it. It would be closer to the truth to say she became a terrible bitch, but she didn’t think that would get the doctor’s attention quite as dramatically as his test subject getting sick before he could experiment.
    She needed a damn bathroom! Where the hell, did the doctor think they were supposed to go to the bathroom? There was nothing in here but a mattress and blanket!
    Focusing on her irritation allowed her to take her mind off of the feelings she was beginning to have for Balduen. Was there something in the drug that was making them bond faster than normal? Was any of this normal? She had no idea, and she didn’t want to ask Balduen. She really didn’t want him or anyone else to know how rapidly she was becoming attached to him.
    Hell, she still hadn’t had time to think about who he really was and the ramifications of who he was to her people. Much less consider the fact that this must be some serious cosmic joke to meet a potential mate who came from another freaking planet, just to get kidnapped and imprisoned with him in less than two hours of meeting.
What the hell, were the odds of that
?
    And she really didn’t want to think about the possibility that she could be impregnated with a Relian child, while forming a new bond with her mate.
Oh yeah, that would probably be an awesome bonding experience for us
, she thought sarcastically.
    The only mated couple she’d ever seen had been her parents, so she had no idea how this was really supposed to work. She knew her father had always been over protective of her mother and his daughters. She learned, as part of her father’s history about the mating bond and how it worked.
    Her mother had even explained to her and her sister True, how it had affected her. How she knew that their father, was the one destined for her almost immediately after meeting him.
    The only thing that seemed kind of fuzzy to her was the whole beast thing that her father said was mostly dormant inside all Valendran males. She was getting ready
