placed it against her left ear. Mak nodded.
“I am called Mak ‘Tag Krell Manok. You may call me Mak,” he said in a deep voice. “I thank you for your assistance to myself and my mate. I need to get her somewhere safe so I can examine her more thoroughly.”
Helene jerked the device away from her ear. She turned and muttered in a low voice to Natasha who glanced in the mirror in surprise. “Ask him where he comes from.”
“ Baade ,” Mak said understanding what Natasha was saying. “I am Prime,” he repeated. “Have her place the device against her ear. It will embed a translator so she may understand what I say,” Mak watched as Helene place the device against Natasha’s right ear and pressed the end. Natasha jerked and looked at her sister in surprise.
“Where is that?” Helene asked turning to stare closer at the huge man.
Mak shrugged. “Far away. In a distant star system from your own.”
“How did you get here?” Natasha asked nervously as she realized she now understood what he was saying. “Why are you here? What do you want?”
Mak looked at the dark brown eyes staring at him periodically in the mirror. “I cannot tell you how I came to your world. It would be too dangerous. I came for my woman. My bond mate. I want… need her,” Mak said gently pushing a strand of dark red hair back from Tansy’s temple. He ran his fingers gently over her cheek until he could cup her jaw and pull it toward his chest.
“You came for a woman?” Helene asked after she repeated Mak’s answer in disbelief.
Mak looked up fiercely causing Helene to lean back in alarm. “She is not just a woman. She is my bond mate. I would give my life to protect her. I will kill anyone who threatens her.”
Natasha’s eyes widened at the deep, dangerous growl in Mak’s voice. She didn’t need a translator to know what he was saying. The way he touched the tiny female in his arms and held her so tenderly was enough evidence to tell her he meant it when he promised to kill anyone who would mess with her.
A soft moan escaped the female in question. Natasha watched as the woman’s eyelashes fluttered before she opened her eyes. The woman’s body stiffened in alarm briefly before she forced herself to relax. She turned her head and her eyes collided with Natasha’s in the mirror. Natasha felt a shiver go down her spine.
Shit, Natasha thought, the woman is almost as bad as the man.

Tansy forced her body to relax. She could tell the arms holding her tightened the moment she moved. Her quick glance took in all the information she needed to know. She was in a Lada Priora, a popular car in this area of Moscow. There were two females, in addition, to the huge ass alien male who was holding her. Tansy recognized the two females. They were Pavel Baskov’s two daughters. She remembered their faces from when she helped Cosmos a couple of years ago.
“Which…” Tansy began before clearing her throat and starting over again. “Which one of you is Natasha and which is Helene?” She asked in Russian.
Helene jerked around and glared at Tansy. “How do you know about us?” She demanded.
Mak’s head jerked up and a low rumble escaped at the tone in Helene’s voice. She jerked back again as far as her seat belt would let her. His eyes warned her to be careful how she talked to Tansy.
Tansy looked up at the face above her. She shook her head. Only Cosmos could find a planet with a Neanderthal on it to rescue her. She turned her head back to the woman with the short spiky blue hair.
“I saw your pictures when I helped get your mom and brothers out,” Tansy said relaxing back against the warm chest and lap. She figured she could move in a little while. Right now, she was just too comfortable. “Cosmos called me in when they were kidnapped.”
Helene s a t forward, a smiling lighting up her face. “You are the female who they talked about! I am Helene and this is my sister, Natasha. All of the reports we were
