Where are you now? Miga asked.
Just entering the temple. He has put me down on a sofa
and is binding my hands and legs. Please, hurry.
Rhiannon's mate's High chancellors Adarm, Thed and
Gram are entering the temple now, little one. Try to stay calm,
everything will be alright, Erin, Miga opined through their
mental link.
What is he doing, little red? Jord asked.
I don't know. He is sitting on the end of the sofa
watching me. He seems to be waiting for something.
The doors to the great temple room flew open and Erin
watched as HC Adarm, Gram and Thed strode through the doors.
They moved with a predatory grace until they were meters away
from her and her abductor.
Larn, what are you doing with Erin? You know she is
already mated and cannot mate with you, Adarm stated in a calm
voice.
I do not want this one, she is too small. I will exchange
her, for your mate, High Chancellors, Larn stated. The four men
ignored Erin's gasp.
You cannot join with our mate, either, Larn. You know it
is not possible to break a joined family, by trying to force the
female. The joining of a mates is sacred, Larn. Why would you
want to try to join with a mated female?
Your little human female has the most fire of the three. I
would tame her and make her submit to me. Nothing would give
me greater satisfaction, than breaking your mate.
Erin saw her mate's striding through the great hall doors
with Honey's mate's close at their heels. Honey and Rhiannon
were bringing up the rear. Erin could tell Rhiannon was
communicating to her mate's through their mental link, because
every now and then one of them would turn and frown at her.
They each took turns glaring and shaking their heads until their
attention was once more centered on Larn. Rhiannon tried to
move closer to her mate's but Honey's mate's intercepted her and
surrounded her. Imprisoning Rhiannon within a wall of their three
tall muscular bodies.
HC Adarm began to move closer to the sofa; Erin and
Larn were seated on. Larn moved like lightning. He had Erin on
his lap before she could blink. He held a small metal cylinder
against her neck.
Take one more step and I will inject her, Larn stated.
They all froze, not daring to move a muscle in case Larn
injected Erin with whatever was in the cylinder.
You will hand your mate over High Chancellors, or I will
kill this small female. You have until the count of sixty secs
before I do so.
Rhiannon gave a nod of her head, looked from one of her
mate's to the other then made her way over to Larn and Erin. She
held her hand out to Erin and Larn and waited to see what he
would do. Larn pushed Erin from his lap and grabbed at
Rhiannon.
Rhiannon moved like lightning. One minute Larn was
pulling her towards him, the next she grasped the thumb of his
hand holding the cylinder, bent it back and shoved the cylinder
into his neck. He was dead before he hit the floor.
Erin and Rhiannon were immediately surrounded by their
mate's. Honey tried to move towards her friends but her mate's
surrounded her, touching her as if she was the one who had been
in danger. Honey could hear Rhiannon and Erin crying, their
mate's trying to soothe each of their women. Honey heard
Rhiannon say how horrible she felt at taking another beings life.
She heard Erin tell her mate's she was okay, but shaken up over
her ordeal. Once the men had calmed their women down, Honey
tried to shove her mate's out of the way. She tried to get to her
friends until Sven picked her up, slung her over his shoulder, to
stride from the great room. His brother's following at his heels.
Honey looked up at her friends from her upside down
position, to see Rhiannon being hauled up and over Adarm's
shoulder as he strode towards the exit of the great room. She
looked beyond Rhiannon and her mates to realize Erin was in the
same predicament. She could hear Erin and Rhiannon cursing
their mate's, demanding to be released just as she was.
It looked like the three friends were in for a night of
ravishment. Even though they were all protesting; Honey knew
they were protesting on principle, rather than really wanting to
escape their mates. She hid her smirk when she saw Cail eying
her speculatively and went back to pummeling against Sven's
back. She heard Rhiannon cursing Adarm, then give a squeak
after he slapped her on the ass. Erin was yelling just as hard as
Rhiannon and herself, until the women were nearly eye level and
they all burst in to uncontrollable laughter.
Chapter Ten
Kurt, Evas, Tack, Nep and Orab Tolv gave a sigh as they
finally reached the outer perimeter of Earth. They set the ship to
hover with the shields in place so the Earth satellite detectors
would not pick their ship up on their equipment. They all moved
to the galley for some much needed refreshments and food. They
