No

Untitled Part 27

Bau'jah shifted to the washroom in hope to find his hooman mate there, however, his hope was short-lived. For a moment, his mind went blank as he paced around the empty room: incredulous, dumbstruck, then rage, slowly swallowed him in a sea of mixed emotions. Why the pauk didn't he insist on putting a tracker on her! This time, he wished she just wandered off somewhere on the vessel and got lost. But he had a bad feeling about this. He saw his laser tool sitting on the table instead of being stored properly in the drawer, the message caught his attention, he could only recognize his name - he had taught her how to write it in his language - as rest of the writing was in English. He moved to the hidden drawer and put on his bio-mask, letting the program to translate and project the message before his eyes.

Bau'jah,

       If you're reading this, it means I have already left. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you, I don't believe I am strong enough to do this in person. Please don't be mad at me, I really can't stay here to watch you with another female, as it would kill me inside and out. Don't blame this on the clan leader and Gahtan either, this decision is mine's alone. I don't expect you to understand my reasons, and it would be selfish of me to ask you to run away with me.

Meeting you was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. There are not enough words to thank you for all you have done for me. You saved me in every way. I'm sorry I lied to you, it was the hardest thing for me to do, but do know that I love you with all my heart. And because I love you so much, I have to leave you. I want you to have a life that gives you what you need, a life with someone who can be there for you all the way until the end, with your children by your side. And as a human, I can't give you that. You belong with your people, not me. I understand that now.

These past three months have been the happiest time in my whole life and I will cherish our memories until my last dying breath.

Goodbye, my love. Please remember me.

P.S., I kept the dagger, bracelet and the dreadlock ring. Your people's secret is safe with me.

Yours always,

Ray

Words could not describe what Bau'jah really felt right now, for he had never experienced such profound feelings. Hands denting the metal table in his tight grips, he scanned at the message again before he finally realized what she had done, to accept the fact that she was gone.

"NO!!!" He roared in rage, tossing the table across his room.

She had lied to him! She had left him! She was stalling him by keeping him in bed for two days and he'd let her seduced him without even realizing it! Pauk! He was so blinded with lust when around her! Once he started to connect the dots, her odd behaviors, her strange question, and his father's private meeting, all made sense now. She had conspired against him with the help from his father and Gahtan! He was going to kill them! He wanted to tie her up and punish her for her hooman cunningness. But first, he needed to find her. He had priority!

Putting on his armor, he stormed out of his room. He checked the vessel's system first, and Gahtan's empty docking bay further confirmed his suspicion, he had already left the vessel. With his hooman mate!

Nobody dared to stop him as Bau'jah barged in the throne room without warning, an air of burning rage that was emanating off of him sent a clear message that anyone who tries to stop him would result in a brutal death.

"Release my ship from the docking bay!" Bau'jah almost snarled at the clan leader, his eyes darkened as he was reaching the peak of his rage for what he did. His father had distracted him to send his hooman mate away.
