Nalini Singh - Aden's woman

before I forget it ...

I remembered some more unmated females mentioned throughout the series.
Marsha Langholm, Gia Khan, Keisha Bale (Ming's M-Psy supervising Arrows)

There was a rumor that there is more than friendship between Aden und Vasic but that threat has desintegrated.

There are some obstacles his woman will face.

Faith Nightstar's vage glimpse of a female when looking into Aden Kai's future

 

• For one he can't leave the net and he can't leave the Arrows. So if she is a changeling she has to leave her pack and the Arrows will be her new pack. Aden's woman will have to be comfortable with the Arrows.
• A fellow Arrow female will be comfortable with the Arrows as she is one of them. We know of Cristabel and Zaira, and Keisha Bale, Ming's M-Psy, but here the chances for a more intimate relationship are small as Aden has telepathically influenced her  to sign death certificates of not dead Arrows without her knowledge.  One more possibility is an Arrow woman we haven't met yet. Aden knows all Arrows since he has been part of them since childhood. So if she is an Arrow he will have known her for a while, except she is a juvenile. Even then he will have known her for a while. That leaves the question: Why now? What is different now?
• She will have to move to "his place" or Arrow Central Command as he can't teleport.That holds true for a human, changeling, Psy or Forgotten, as long as she can't teleport him around. No, he needs to be at Arrow Central Command.
• There are rumors around the Psy Net about Silver Merchant as a possible candidate. If she has the rumored Illusions ability and her chilled frosted perfect Psy exterior is only an illusion, ... maybe ... just ... maybe.
• If she is one of the Forgotten, she will have more than one obstacle to work out. Can they be part of two different Nets? If not, who will join whom? As Aden needs to be on the Psy Net as the leader of the Arrows, it has to be her. Can Forgotten even rejoin the Psy Net now? Not that any sane person would want to now with the state of the Psy Net. Would she risk it? (note to self: more digging on the Forgotten needed. f.e.: if anyone ever tried to rejoin the Psy Net and how it went)
• As Aden had a meeting with Devraj Santos about the shared challenge of training some of the kids, it is possible he meets someone new there, like the Forgotten person in charge of training. Devraj took charge of finding someone for William last time, but maybe that was because he is his next of kin. Maybe they have someone in charge we don't know of yet. There is a woman on the board in charge of education, but that might mean Shine scholarships, schools, grades, professions not Psy ability training.
• If she is human, like Lilli, Bowen's adopted sister (note to self: what would he have to do with her?) she will not have the issues with the Psy Net but ...
• Any woman will have the problem of connecting to him. Does he have any weak spots? How does she get through to him? (note to self: I still believe a teacher/trainer for the young Arrow kids holds the best cards, no matter what race.)
• I am sure Aden will surprise us plenty - and I am so looking forward to it. Now I can forget it to be really surprised later :-)
