“To keep you happy. Yes.”
Whoa. I wasn’t expecting that.“Once he’s legally your son, they won’t try to kill him?”
“They will not.”
“And if I refuse to mate with you?”
“I cannot protect him or the others.”
“That’s blackmail,”I protested.
Trayon’s rather toothy grin was alarming. “It is.”
“You’ll still rescue Adam?”
“I gave you my word.”
“You sure you want a human female as a mate? We’re a lot of trouble.”
“Of that I have no doubt,”Trayon replied, getting to his feet.
The sneaky Askole had me over a barrel and he knew it. To save Adam and the kids, I would do what was necessary. Even sharing a bed with him. I held out my hand. “We have a deal.”
“You will not regret your decision.”Trayon gently shook my hand.
A giggle escaped me.Trayon looked like the marshmallow man in that American horror movie. Ghost something or other.
“You find me amusing?” Trayon flashed me an image of myself. I was coated in the sudsy foam too and only my eyes were visible.
I smirked at him. “This is like a bubble bath gone wild.”
“You bathe with bubbles?”
“I do.”
Pepe shook his fur, flinging the foam in every direction.
Adoz launched himself into the air and spun wildly. Large flakes of foam rained down on us.
“How do we get rid of the stuff?”I batted at the foamy crap.
Trayon tapped his gauntlet. A bright blue light rolled over the room. The suds vanished.
LooLoo and LeeLee scurried down to my shoulder. “No like him.”
I gently stroked their fur. “Are there any more of you on Threll?”I flinched as tremendous power flooded the room.
“An excellent question,”Zarek growled. His body armor literally bristled with weapons.
The Tabors hid in my hair and LooLoo whispered,“Others sold. Only us left. You find our mommas?”
“Yes, I promise you we’ll find your mommas. What’s your momma’s name?”
LeeLee bounced happily.“She called Uma. Our father is Bono.”
I looked at Zarek.“Do you know them?”
“No, but Bey will.”
