Chapter 301

Apparently unaware of Sasha’s thumping heart and shaking hands, the technician shook her head slowly and tapped something on the paper, as if the question were merely academic.

“No, no,” she said quickly. “The markers all interact with and determine the functioning of the adrenal system. It’s as if she’s developed an increased… sensitivity to the Chimera. I don’t know how better to put it. In the Chimera, these genes, in conjunction with others, are part of their heightened senses and awareness of the world. But Sasha’s senses remain human. It’s as if her body has changed to… accommodate something to do with the Chimera. We haven’t had enough time to observe or test to know more than that. But no, this doesn’t change who or what she is. Sasha remains human. But there’s a very narrow scope within which her body has changed.”

“To what purpose?”

The technician grimaced. “If we assume it’s to do with the matebond, I would hypothesize that she’s gained a… a sixth sense for her mate. That some kind of physical connection has occurred within them, something that they both carry. But without testing Zev to see if his marker changes reflect hers, I can’t be sure.”

“Let’s make that happen as soon as possible,” Nathan said, his voice low and firm as he made a note on a pad in front of him.

“You will do no such thing,” Sasha seethed, leaning forward over the conference table, towards Nathan. “You will not touch him. You will not bring him out of Thana. He’s dealt with enough of your shit to last more than a lifetime! You leave him alone!”
