Lusty Indecision

When the family is notified that alien ships have landed on Jasta, they all go to stand watch. A group of creatures cloaked in silver shells walk from the ship, but when their leader removes his face shield, it leaves Aria burning with lust. It is an attraction that she cannot and will not act upon because of Jace's jealousy.

The crew members are part of a group of rebels originally from Greante, the planet of the ancestors of Jasta's gifted. Their leader is Raton Dane and the family has traveled to Jasta with a hope of creating new, stronger, power bloodlines for both Jasta and their planet Vivar. They have been watching the Bastion-Kamatien families with small invisible tracker stars for years.

Aria's resolve to send the family packing quickly fades, but her decision to agree with her own family to allow the Danes to stay has fatal consequences that none of them ever imagined.
