about another girl named Amber. Is she nice?”
    “She is and you’ll love her.” Mckayla gave him a smile and went back to staring out the view screen with Vick.
    The hovercraft was set down not far from a house she could see. It was a wide, rambling two story house that took up a lot of the surrounding property.
    “We’re at Aran’s and his mate, Rena’s house.”
    They walked the short distance from the hovercraft to the back of the house.
    A tall man waited to greet them.
    “This is Aran.” Victor said before turning to them. “Aran, this is Aviana and her daughter, Mckayla.”
    He held out a hand and greeted them. “It is nice to meet you, Aviana. You as well, Mckayla.”
    “Vick,” Aran said, shaking his hand in hello. “Alexei and Amber are in the house.”
    “Let’s go, Mckayla.” Two excited kids ran into the house seeking the other children.
    “Come in. Everyone’s here. Dante is cooking and Rena is looking over his shoulder trying to pick up tips.
    Rylan took Aviana’s hand before saying hello to Aran. They walked into the warm house, the smell of good food welcomed them.
    She walked into controlled chaos and met the rest of Aran’s brothers as well as Mick’s. Finally, she entered the kitchen to meet Dante and Rena.
    Rena broke off and immediately came to hug her. “Aviana, I’m so glad to finally meet you and I hear you have an absolute doll for a child.”
    Dante gave a deep chuckle at the word doll.
    “No comment from you,” Rena said with a hug as she greeted Rylan. “So glad all of you could come. We don’t get to see you near enough.”
    “Hello,” Dante said, leaving the stove.
    He stared deeply into Aviana’s eyes before he looked into Rylan’s. Dante’s eyes flared wide, changing color, and Rylan fell into his arms. Aviana gave a shocked gasp and moved towards him.
    “He’s fine, don’t touch him.”
    Rena put a hand on her arm to stop her. “Trust Dante, he would never hurt him.”
    He laid Rylan on the floor and placed his hand over his heart. Rylan’s body arched up into his hand and convulsed. Dante did it again like he held a paddle over his chest shocking his heart back to life. Finally, he took his hands away, letting Rylan settle before he picked him up.
    “He needs sleep. Eat; he will be ready when it’s time to leave.”
    Paige walked in as Dante was leaving. “Nice to see you again, Girly,” he said in passing.
    Paige stopped making Cal run into her. “Did you hear that, Cal?”
    “I sort of suspected that the old man might have been Dante but I wasn’t sure.”
    Paige gave a rich peal of laughter before coming all the way into the kitchen. Glad it’s your turn at the trial, Aviana.”
    Aviana stared at the door and moved to follow Dante out, but Victor placed his hand on her arm.
    “I promise you he will be fine. I would never let anyone under me come to harm.” He looked her in her eyes as his dilated and she felt a warmth come over her.
    “Are you sure?”
    He gave her a swift hug. “I’m sure.”
    “Let’s get dinner on the table.” Rena started directing her guests, smiling as her dining room slowly increased its size to accommodate everyone. It was good to have a mate who knew other aliens.

Chapter Nine
     
     
    Aviana looked out her window. It had been strange not having Mckayla around last night. She tossed and turned; this was the first time she ever trusted anyone with her care. Taking a deep breath, she reassured herself that she was fine.
    Mckayla had run with Vick, Alexei and Amber as if she had grown up with them. She would stop periodically, come back to her, and give her the newest update on what she learned, and then skip off to play again.
    Everything had gone well until Aviana asked her if she wanted to stay a few days and keep playing with them. Excitement had touched her brown eyes making them an eerie green that Aviana pretended not to notice. Rylan noticed; he pointed it out to Dante, asking him softly whispered
