her alone. Jenny sat up, confused. Did she imagine that or had there really been a dragon? And did he really – laugh at her?

Chapter 5

    Farron

    Farron reported what had happened to Kordan. The giant General nodded now and then without interrupting him.  
    “You did, what every honorable man would have done. Rodriff violated our law – he used violence against a female. He would have been put down anyway. Nobody would shed a tear for him!” Kordan assured.
    “There is … something else,” Farron said, meeting the General’s gaze.
    “What else?”
    “I request Jenny as my mate. I want to take her with me when we reach Karrx7.”
    “So there is something between you and the human?” Kordan asked with a nod. “As long as it is her wish as well, I have no objections.”
    “That is the problem,” Farron explained, gritting his teeth. “She’ll not come with me willingly. She …”
    “I’m sorry. If she doesn’t want to go with you, then I can’t permit it.”
    “That – um – could cause a problem!” Farron replied uneasy.
    The General’s face showed no emotion as he asked sharply: “Why?!”
    “Um, as I said before, Jenny was as good as dead, when I finally killed Rodriff. She wouldn’t have made it long enough to get her to the medicine ward. There was only one chance to save her …”
    “No!” Kordan interrupted. “You haven’t …”
    “It was the only chance,” Farron said defensively.
    “Do you wish to tell me that we have a young clueless woman who – even if she don’t want – is irrevocably bond to you and who will soon … turn into a dragon herself?”
    “That is pretty much … true, General,” Farron confirmed.
    “Damn!” Kordan growled and scratched his spiky short blond hair. An expression of helplessness showed on the normally expressionless face of the General.
    “You see … it’s inevitable that I take her with me,” Farron put in. “She needs me, to survive the first shifting.”
    The General nodded grimly.
    “I’ll talk to my mate, what we have to do. Don’t tell Jenny yet. – How long … until the first …?”
    “Six, maybe seven days.”
    “Then we still have some time. Get back to work and I will speak to my mate.”

    Kordan

    Quietly cussing under his breath, Kordan hurried through the corridors back to Lory’s quarters. That was really screwed up. Lory would be mad as hell, that a woman would be forced into a bond without her consent. He knew how earth women felt about that. Sighing he entered his room.
    Lory sat with three women in the living area and turned to look at him. A smile crossed her face.
    “Did you forget something? Or why else are you back already?”
    Kordan had just started his shift when Farron came to him. He shook his head grimly.
    “We need to talk. – in private!”
    “Sorry girls,” Lory said to her friends. “I have to talk to my mate. See you later?”
    The women rose and said goodbye. Kordan waited impatiently until all had left the room.
    “What is so urgent?” Lory asked, looking at him with concern. “Judging by your face – nothing good.”
    Kordan shook his head and sighed.
    “We have a serious problem and you will not like the only solution to it,” he began and sat down across from Lory.
    His mate frowned and gave him a suspicious glance.
    “What is it? Spill!”
    Kordan took a deep breath and clutched the armrests of his chair with his fingers.
    “You know …,” he began warily. “… that we would usually never force a woman to mate with any of our men …”
    Lory’s eyes hardened as she crossed her arms over her chest.
    “Continue!”
    Kordan cleared his throat.
    “There has been an unpleasant incident. Rodriff tried to harm Jenny and – thank goddess – Farron came onto the scene and managed to take Rodriff out. He had …”
    “What?” Lory interrupted and starred at him horrified. “You mean, Rodriff tried to – rape her?”
    Kordan explained the whole situation to his mate and
