think. And speak to my mate. Let me know when I am needed.” Balduen replied privately to Dread, before walking out of the room without a word to anyone else.

Chapter Four
    “Amun, I would like you to stand by for the medical information on a child. The details will be provided with the information. In fact, I believe Maggie has all the information that you need and can answer your questions; I want you to get with her immediately. I want a report as soon as you can make one available.” Ivint ordered his chief medical officer, who was on the Adaria with his mate Jess. With Amun’s familiarity with the humans, hybrids and the beasts, he may be able to help the boy.
    “I’ve notified Drago of the situation as well, and he will make himself available for any questions that Amun may have regarding the beast that may help.” Dread offered.
    “Thank you…” Grai almost growled from emotion; tears misted his eyes as he gently squeezed Tricia’s hand and gave her an encouraging smile.
    “If we can help the boy, we will. However, we will not force Dare to do anything regarding her child. If this enzyme from the child is the only way to save your son, then you will have to get her and Balduen’s permission. It is not ours to give. Do you understand that?” Ivint warned. He would tolerate no more manipulation of their people. If they were to even consider forging a truce, it would have to be with complete honesty from now on.
    “Yes… I do understand. We understand. ” Grai said squeezing Tricia’s hand in support. His heart leaped when she gave him a watery smile and nodded her head at him to continue.
    “ Right now we need to turn our attention back to this situation. We have another thirty minutes before Dagog launches his first attack. It will be the ground forces, and he will unleash the dark ones, especially here in the city. Our females are beast bonded, but yours are not. You have to make sure they all have the lens and ammunition, or they will never be able to defend themselves.”
    “All of your safe houses, including this one, have stock piles of them either in the basements or general storage rooms. They are the large wooden crates that were there when you moved into the buildings. And try not to shoot the people currently acting as your first line of defense around the safe houses.” Traze interjected, pulling up a picture of the crates on one of the vid screens.
    Ivint was impressed and stunned at how Grai had made sure each location was well prepared for just this kind of situation. It said a lot for the Relian that he had included Banatar and his people in those preparations. There was a lot more to this man than anyone had originally thought, Ivint mused.
    “Next he’s going to send an exploratory wave of fighters to test the defenses of the fleet. Just keep your shields up on your ships and try not to fire on my brother. Koda has a few surprises in store for them that will hopefully deter a full-scale assault." Grai ordered confidently, forgetting that he wasn’t commanding a room of his own people for a moment. He immediately tried to soften his words.
    “If we do not fight together, then we die separately. Even combined we do not have the forces that they still have, not just here on the planet but in surrounding quadrants. And it’s not just us; we need to consider, there’s a planet full of innocent humans standing in the middle. And they deserve better than this. From all of us.”
    Ivint stared at the strong man in front of him and considered his words carefully as everyone looked at him expectantly.
    “And what of after this battle?” Ivint asked, cocking his head to one side, so he could study the man while he answered his question. He almost smiled when he heard Grai’s barely huffed out sigh.
    “I considered becoming allies, but I’m unsure of the welcome that would receive , considering everything that has happened. Either way, I will not allow my people to harm yours. They
