scanners.”
    “Can you teleport that far with a passenger, Hank?”
    “If there’s a problem, I can island hop,” he answered.
    The cramp from hell seized my uterus. I doubled over. “Shit, I’m gonna have this baby without Talree.”
    I gasped as my mate’s immense psychic power flooded the fighter.
    Hank staggered back a step. His stance changed, and a fierce light filled his eyes. Talree’s voice sounded from Hank’s mouth. “No, you will not have the baby alone.”
    Soulet pulled her laser pistol and jumped in front of me. “ Who are you, and what have you done to the male?”
    “I am Talree, Warlord of the Coletti clans. Put your weapon down.”
    Dear God, I wasn’t hallucinating. “Talree?”
    “Yes, my beloved Teka.”
    I threw my arms around him. “It’s about time you got here.”
    Talree hugged me gently. “I told you I would come for you.”
    “Hijacking Hank’s body wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.”
    “There are two auras,” Soulet said incredulously and lowered her laser pistol.
    “Talree’s one of a kind,” I replied.
    “I am Coletti,” Talree pronounced proudly.
    I patted his chest. “Yes, you are. Did you hijack Hank with or without his permission?”
    He cocked an imperious eyebrow.
    “I was afraid of that. Will your body snatching leave any permanent damage?”
    “If I stay in his mind too long, yes.” Talree’s gaze scanned the command console.
    “How long is too long?”
    “Two hours.”
    “Me come out,” Thor declared.
    I heard a pop, and a huge amount of fluid gushed from between my legs. “Fuck.”
    The love of my life grabbed the medical scanner off the pilot’s chair and pointed it at me. “You’re in labor.”
    The granddaddy of all charley horses grabbed my guts. “Gee, ya think?”
    Talree mucked about in my head, and the pain vanished.
    I let out a sigh of utter relief. “You’re definitely a keeper, my love, but fair warning; with the next baby, I’m chaining you to my side.”
    Talree kissed my forehead. “You have my word that the Queen Bitch will suffer for what she has done.”
    That was what I liked about the Colettis. When they made a promise, they kept it. “Dying is too easy for her. I want you to fry her powers. I want her demoted from Queen Bitch to a lowly breeder. You know, like the poor souls she forces to lay eggs over and over and over again?”
    An evil smile curved Talree’s mouth. “A fitting punishment.”
    “You bet your ass it is.”
    Thor let out an excited cry. “Daddy!”
    Talree joined minds with Thor. “My son, even now your abilities grow. Be strong for your mother. Our enemies are tracking us, and she will need your help to survive.”
    “Me protect Momma.”
    Over my dead body. Kicking off my boots, I tried to wiggle out of my wet leggings and toppled over backward.
    Talree caught me. “I’ve got you.”
    I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I really want to kiss you, but you’re seriously freaking me out with this body-snatching thing.”
    My Warlord carefully placed me on a chair. “I do what is necessary to keep you and Thor safe.” He knelt and pulled off my leggings. “You are my life.”
    “And you are mine.”
    A warning flashed across the command console.
    Soulet touched an icon. “The marauders are heading our way.”
    “Then it’s a good thing we have a plan.” I quickly filled Talree in and pointed to the island.
    Talree scooped me up. Poof. There was a fleeting moment of blackness, and we appeared in a small cavern. An eerie green glow came from a phosphorescent canopy of fungus. Translucent yellow leaves fluttered around the entrance. Other than a few soupy pools of water, the cave was empty.
    My guy was awesome. Only the most powerful Warlords could pop into a place they had never been to before. A handy talent when it came to raiding your neighbors. I had tried to figure out how he did it, but the best I could come up with was that it was some kind of internal radar. “You’ve got
