snarled back, letting him know he was happy to keep hunting and fighting in that form.

Drak joined them, also snarling.

“Go,” Maith called out. “Hunt the rest of the Elth down. I’m going to stay here to treat the Althins.”

Gnaw felt more rage at the Elth. The Althins were a peaceful race. They lived in a solar system near that of the Veslors. Their neighbors weren’t advanced enough to reach space, but they welcomed alien visitors to their world for trade. The Elth must have kidnapped some of them while trading on their planet.

The fleet would send them all safely home. If they couldn’t, Roth would contact their king on Veslor home world, and he’d send a transport to pick them up and return the Althins to their home world.

Roth snarled and Gnaw turned away from the Althins. It was time to hunt down the Elth and make certain they didn’t have more helpless aliens in captivity.

Abby chuckled. “That’s why I don’t worry about our guys. Did you see them jump up on that secondary level and take out the threat?”

Darla swallowed hard but managed to nod. Someone on Team Two had streamed live footage of the rescue of the blue aliens. They appeared to be humanoid, with the tallest standing at maybe five feet tall. They also had tails. “Gnaw was hit a few times by those devices they have that shoot lasers.”

“So was Drak. Look at them, though. They’re running out of vid range to take on more Elth. That wouldn’t be happening if they were seriously hurt. None of them are even limping.”

“Maith is naked.” Darla lifted her free hand and covered her eyes to block the image of the medic accepting a med kit from a suited tactical team member on the large screen. A few more medics rushed to that area, also carrying med kits.

“Yeah. You get used to seeing that when they shift. Just keep eye contact and it’s no big deal. They don’t view nudity the way we do.” Abby paused. “Someone just passed Maith a pair of pants. I think seeing his dick is making the blue aliens nervous, but at least they’re talking to him. I wonder what they are? I’ve never seen those kinds of aliens before.”

“Jessa would probably know.” Darla lowered her hand to peek at the screen. Maith had put on pants and was crouched down to talk to one of the smaller blue aliens. It appeared to be a child. The blue kid suddenly hugged Maith, and he smiled. “We should let her know she’s about to have a bunch of patients. She’s the alien specialist, after all.”

“Why don’t we go help her prepare?” Abby stood. “We’ll get notified when our mates are on their way back. I think we’ve seen enough here for you to be assured of what I said. Our guys are badass. They’ll always come home to us.”

Darla nodded. “I’m glad you brought me here.” She glanced once more at the screen. Gnaw wasn’t in view; it still showed the medics and Maith treating the blue aliens. He was going to be fine, though.

She reached down and rubbed her stomach.

Her babies had a fierce fighting daddy who would always keep them safe.

Epilogue

Four months later

Darla lounged on the couch, eating fresh fruit. She had her bare feet propped up on a pillow and watched an entertainment vid on a handheld player. The exterior door of their home opened, and she turned her head.

Maith walked in…with Becky at his side.

“That is utter shat,” her sister laughed. “You are teasing me.”

“It is true. I will show you after I shower and change.”

“You do that. I’ll be here.” Her sister smiled at her and headed toward the seating area. “Did you hear?”

Darla turned off the device. “I have no clue what he wants to show you. I’m almost afraid to ask.”

“He said there’s a plant on one of their growing worlds that has legs and chases small animals. The plants supposedly tackle them and eat their fur to leave them bare-skinned, before letting them go.” She took a seat in a chair. “But that’s not what I’m asking you. Have you talked to Abby?”

“Not since this morning. She and Drak left early.”

Her baby sister grinned. “She got our family jobs! She’s arranging transportation for them to get here in a few weeks. They’re going to work in the garden section with me!”

Darla sat up quickly and put the bowl of fruit on the table, grinning. “Really?”

“Yes!” Becky squealed
