peacefully, and perhaps these people can do that. We aren’t the only side of the battle that suffered significant losses. If the humans are interested, then this could more strongly solidify the peace between alliances. And with their new level of importance, we are going to need all the allies we can get, to properly protect them from the Oblivions.”
Tasid heard his father’s growl, and his look of annoyance wasn’t lost on him. His mother’s voice interrupted them.
“Tasid, is it true?” Adonna’s hopeful face appeared next to his father. “Are they really mate-compatible?”
Looking at his father, and after receiving a small nod from him, Tasid answered his mother. “Yes, it is true.”
Adonna’s face lit up, and she clasped all four of her hands together. “That is blessed news. Perhaps both of you will be given the right to claim a mate amongst them, since you were the ones to find them.”
Tasid wasn’t surprised when Adonna included Errim. They had always been close, and since Errim’s parents’ deaths, Adonna treated Errim as one of her own. He chuckled and looked at his second.
“That means I’m not the only one she’ll harass on making grandchildren.”
Errim smirked at Tasid before turning back to the screen. “Adonna, I will emphatically enjoy providing you with grandchildren to adore, should I ever be given the honor to mate.”
Before Adonna could respond, Jurresh spoke up. “My dear, I need to finish this conversation. You can heckle them for grandchildren later.” His voice was gentle, so Tasid’s mother wasn’t offended.
“Oh, right, I’m sorry. Don’t be too long.”
Jurresh looked lovingly after Adonna as she left the room, but then he focused back on Tasid and Errim, becoming serious. “I’ll speak to the other representatives.” Jurresh’s look turned sour. “I hate to admit it, but you may be right. We need to offer to share this race with the CROWN. If the humans are compatible with two races from Oblivion Pull Coalition, with our dwindled numbers, we will most definitely need their help to properly protect the humans.”
Tasid quickly remembered another bit of information relevant to this discussion. “There is more, Father.”
Jurresh paused before letting out a heavy breath and nodded for him to continue.
“The females here are dying from illnesses they have yet to develop cures for. Most are caused by the poisons they are polluting their planet with. I have learned many are hurt by their mates, and they willingly put their females in battle alongside the males. I do not believe they view their females as precious as we do ours.”
Tasid felt a cold chill run through his body at the angered look on his father’s face. He rarely saw this level of rage from his father.
“Get me all the information you can gather on their females, and if what you say is true, I will personally see to changing their priorities. With this new information, I know I can get whatever authorization from UPALE I need, to do whatever is necessary to protect those females.”
The screen disappeared as his father disconnected, and both Tasid and Errim blew out a relieved breath.
“Great stars! There’s intimidating, and then there’s terrifying. I hope I’m never on his bad side. I don’t think I have ever seen him that angry.”
Tasid grunted. “I have. I might have to hide behind my mother when I tell him how many humans, including females, were killed during the recent riots caused by our arrival.”
“But that wasn’t your fault.”
Tasid gave him a grim look. “I’m not certain he’ll see it that way.”
“We better make sure nothing else happens to them.”

Several days later, Tasid sat with the crew eating the first meal of the day when a high-pitched alarm blared through the ship. Everyone leaped into action. He and the others assigned for the bridge ran along the corridors together, passing other crew members who were rushing towards their own
