ate my
little sister,” she howled.
    “I did not eat her,” Talsk
growled. He then looked over to Dasks. “She’s in here with me. Pressed to my
chest. Can’t you see her?”
    “I can’t even sense her,”
Dasks replied gruffly.
    “Cobra said it was instinct.
It just happened when I sensed your female’s anger, Dasks,” Talsk said with
sheer amazement. “My armor is regulating the little one’s breathing and core
temperature like it would my own. It’s running a scan. She has a virus my armor
is attacking.”
    To Amy, it appeared he was
telling the truth. Though he was void of facial expression when armored she
detected the wonder in his tone of voice. Amy had been angry. She felt lacking
when Talsk had coaxed a laugh from the child. Talsk had reminded her of their failure
at providing for the children. Lisa had a cold, and all were terrified it was
the start of pneumonia like her mother.
    “She feels fine now,” Talsk
said.
    Piece-by-piece the armor came
down to reveal the child pressed tight to Talsk’s chest. Her head lifted.
    “Me was stuck,” Lisa said. She
inhaled. “Me cold is gone.”
    Amy was amazed; the child
didn’t seem fazed a bit by what had just transpired.
    Lisa held her arms out for
Amy. Reluctantly Talsk handed her over.
    Leah’s other daughter began
sobbing and Meg picked up the six-year-old. Her hand ran over the child’s hair.
    “Don’t cry, Maddy. They are
trying to help your mother, and see, Lisa is fine. Talsk didn’t hurt her,” Meg
said.
    “Will they kill my brother?”
Maddy asked.
    “No,” Amy said sharply and
leveled a hard stare at Dasks. “Are you going to keep hiding?”
    When Dasks’ armor began
unclasping his body, Amy was surprised. His hair was black as night, straight,
sleek and shiny like his armor and hung to his shoulders. His skin was smooth
and tanned. His biceps flexed. In fact, all of his muscles seemed bunched. The
power behind those incredible bulges was awesome. He was bare-chested and
barefoot. Identical black pants matching Cobra’s hugged his delicious hips. Amy
clamped her mouth closed to keep from drooling. She couldn’t believe the transformation.
He was a very handsome alien. It was hard not to feel a tingle of attraction
toward an Adonis God .
    O h my.
    Her knees felt weak and
actually wobbled. This hunk wanted to mate with her? Oh if only… Dark brown
dreamy eyes settled onto her. She could get lost in his stare. Her head tilted
with some confusion when she was compelled to look deeper. For some odd reason
Dasks looked furiously angry.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 3
     
    Dasks ordered another two
warriors to take the children and watch them.
    Amy gave up the little girl
only after being reassured the children were going to get food and the boy
wouldn’t be harmed.
    Dasks scowled when he sensed
she didn’t quite believe him. Dasks could tell she wanted to trust him but
wasn’t sure of herself. It was a bit hard for Dasks to know for certain as her
pheromones spiked while she gazed up at him. The smell was somewhat
intoxicating and made him feel a little less sure of himself. Who was she
attracted to? Him? Cobra? Talsk? Dasks wasn’t able to center on her scent when
she was experiencing too many emotions so quickly. It made his head ache and he
could growl with the frustration he was feeling.
    Talsk also sensed the woman’s
hesitation and smiled at her.
    Grumpily Dasks watched first
as Talsk hefted the slight weight of the female child, Maddy, to his chest.
Talsk’s armor enclosed over the child for a few brief seconds—like a pro. When
released, he declared the little female free of parasites and a small broken
finger on her left hand was repaired.
    Talsk was sympathetic when
Craig snuffled and swiped at a runny nose and declared if he could, he would
encase the male. His shield wouldn’t allow it. The idea was far too unfamiliar.
Hopefully the healing water would help him even though he was male. The water
had not
