the platform. Hyle rushed to help her. УWhoТs this?Ф she asked, smiling up at him, then back
at the girl.

УYou bastards!Ф Diana cried. Gala winced, clutching HyleТs arm at DianaТs outburst.
УDonТt tell me you kidnapped a girl? ThatТs low even for you.Ф A pillow went sailing across
the room.

Salin caught it and glared at his truemate, flipping his head to clear his eyesight of the
heavy fall of his silver-white bangs. On anyone else the glare might have worked, but Diana
only met him glare for glare. УSweet, IТd appreciate it if youТd once give me and our race the
benefit of the doubt.Ф


УBenefit of the doubt? What for?Ф

He grimaced and threw the pillow back at her, catching her in the face. УBecause, in
this case, your obvious assumption is wrong. This is Irin. Nalfien rescued her when she was
just a babe. SheТs lived -- unmolested -- among us since then.Ф

Diana scraped the pillow aside, sneering. УUnmolested? Here, in the pit of perversity?
How could you randy sons of bitches keep your paws off her?Ф

Salin sighed, exchanging glances with Hyle. He gestured toward Diana. УAnd this is
why I said IТd have to come with you.Ф He gave the girl at his side a familiar pat on her
shoulder as he rounded her and approached his truemate. Even Gala had to admire his sleek,
predatory grace as he stalked Diana. Firelight cast a golden sheen on his glossy black skin.
УLetТs start this over,Ф he suggested, voice low as he knelt on the platform before her. He
caught her feet as she kicked at him, pinning her ankles to the padded platform. He never
looked away from her glaring green eyes. УDiana, Gala, this is Irin. Nalfien found Irin when
she was just a babe, and sheТs been with us ever since.Ф

Diana growled as he crawled forward. He kept her legs braced with his hands until he
was sitting on her knees, leaning forward so that one of his arms was braced on the wall over
her shoulder. Ungainly in her advanced pregnancy, she couldnТt move fast enough to evade
him, so she didnТt even try, although she made a point to show that she was not daunted by
his huge body moving to cage hers. Salin hooked one long finger in the metal loop at the base
of her collar. He tugged and she hissed. She shot her hand up to grab the wrist above her
shoulder, hooking her fingers into the restraint Salin wore to match his truemate.

Gala exchanged smiles with Hyle and waited. As one might suspect, Salin excelled far
more than anyone else at subduing Diana.

УNow,Ф Salin continued calmly, nearly nose-to-nose with her, Уyou might wonder how
such a thing could happen since weТre a rather sexual race. We are not --Ф He tugged her
collar for emphasis. У-- molesters of children. That practice is as distasteful among us as it is


among humans.Ф He released her collar and sat back on his heels, still trapping her legs.
УHowever, Nalfien knew he couldnТt trust that. So he, Radin, and Hyle devised a spell. IrinТs
been under the protection of that spell since she was a tot.Ф
