going after others, their dominant and aggressive natures allowing for nothing less than full control.
“Primary Healer Whelon, an emergency med unit shall be assembled and transported to my location immediately. Heart Master Sobol joi Zurer, your presence is requested as well.” Kozav knew better than to order a mated female. He did not wish to battle Negotiate Master Zurer for any offense. “Warrior units raghroru and ruor, you will provide escort. I expect these orders to be executed and complete within ten Earth minutes. Ship, end communication.”
His first and second warrior units would ensure Sugal’s capture while the third and fourth units transported the necessary personnel and equipment. Hopefully Sobol’s presence would ease any discomfort his dam-by-mating may experience from being surrounded by so many males.
Anger and frustration had him wishing he could strike something—someone—but he imagined his fist would go through the wall if he attempted to vent his fury in that way. That the Healing Master rejected his request—one that involved the health of a female…
Once all was known, the rest of the warriors would see that Sugal regretted his decision.
“Healing Master Sugal is the uncle of Third Warrior Impe.” Detzan spoke, the strained, deep voice drawing Kozav’s attention.
“What?”
“The young warrior you encountered with Grace. His uncle is Healing Master Sugal.”
Kozav growled and curled his lip. Weak warriors disgusted him, deceitful males enraged him. It seemed those two males were both.
“They will learn of the errors of their actions.”
“Yes.” Every warrior agreed with him and now Kozav realized he may have to protect Sugal and Impe from his men.
The rumble of an approaching shuttle reached him and Detzan looked out the window. “Units raghroru and ruor come.”
It amazed him that they’d arrived so quickly, but it should not have. Many observed Kozav with Grace in that hallway. Many knew of the reason for their trip to the surface. At least he had some males he could depend on to be honorable.
“Grant them entrance when they arrive. I will be with Grace and her dam .”
And he would not be rejected. He strode down the narrow hall once more, ignoring the way the floor shook with his every step. Already the aroma of sickness was lessened and he hated that she’d been the one to cleanse the space. He softly knocked on the door, waiting to see if she would come to him or if he’d have to push his way into the space.
But his mate appeared, hair stringy and damp, face pale and eyes wide. “ Shaa kouvi .”
His heartbeat tripped and joy sang in his chest. He hated the reason behind her use of the endearment, but he loved hearing it on her lips. “ Shaa kouva ,” he murmured in return. “Healers will be here momentarily.”
“Heal…” she whispered and swallowed hard. Liquid filled her eyes again and he was unsure what he did wrong this time.
“Do you wish me to send them away? I believed your dam required medical—”
She grasped his hand and squeezed it tightly. “She does.”
“Then they shall assist you. Will she allow that?” Kozav was not sure he’d allow Grace’s dam the choice.
Grace glanced over her shoulder and Kozav followed his mate’s line of sight. The change in the female sitting in a chair near the window was astounding. The paleness remained but her hair had been brushed, clothes changed, and her eyes no longer seemed so hazed with exhaustion.
“Mom?” His mate whispered at her dam . Perhaps the female’s illness also affected her hearing? He would have to warn the healers.
“I…” Her lower lip trembled and Kozav could not remain silent.
He spoke to Grace’s dam directly. “Dam Hall, I swear to you—”
“Donna,” Grace murmured. “Her name’s Donna.”
Kozav shook his head. “She is an honored dam and should always be treated as such. It is our way.” He shrugged. She could not change their entire race.
