Chapter 91
Sasha went cold. She didn’t take her eyes off of Xar, whose smile grew as the males around him raised their voices and howls in a chaotic response to his statement.

They didn’t know about the breeding thing? Well, she supposed if they hadn’t known he was leaving, they wouldn’t have known why. But obviously the idea offended them even more than it had her. How could that be?

“Did you know?”

She turned to look at Dunken, who was staring at her, his face an expressionless mask.

“I thought I did, but… the way they’re reacting… what do they know that I don’t? Why are they so upset? I thought guys thought it was cool when other guys had a lot of women?”

Dunken shook his head. “If he’s taken females that already have mates, it’s a violation—whether the females were willing or not. And if he’s taken females that don’t have mates, that haven’t bonded to anyone else… if they’ve taken the bond to him… multiple females bonded to one male is… sick.” He spat the word. “If he has left no females for any other male Chimera, he has doomed our people to death.”

“No, he wasn’t… he said it was for the opposite of that. That they told him they needed him to do this otherwise the Chimera would die out. And he never talked about taking anyone else’s mate…” Had he? Had they even had a chance to get into it? That whole night was a blur to her. “Would he know?” she asked. “If they were someone else’s mate—would he know if they didn’t tell him?”
