again and growled. Ariel jerked her eyes from his.
She could feel Ral tense as he snarled.
    “Mine.”
    The man next to them inched away about a foot. Ral leaned
into Ariel so his lips pressed to her ear. He said something in soft growls.
She frowned, realizing he was talking in the wrong ear. She turned her head so
she could look up at him. She pointed to her other ear.
    “This one is the only one they implanted. I didn’t
understand a thing you said.”
    He frowned. “Only one of your ears is implanted?”
    She nodded.
    “I said don’t meet anyone’s eyes and eat fast.”
    She nodded and turned to face her food. She ate fast. Ral
wolfed his down. He rubbed her arm. He lowered his face again, next to her implanted
ear this time, to whisper to her.
    “Ready to leave?”
    “Yes.”
    “We’ll go to the urinate room and then go back to our room.”
    “Sounds good.”
    Ral stood up and helped Ariel to her feet. He pulled her
against his side. They headed for the door. They were almost out of the room
when three men moved into their path. Ral tensed, easing Ariel behind him. He
growled at the three men.
    “Move.”
    One of the men frowned. “Share her. We have needs and she’s
a different species. She’s not a Zorn woman.”
    “She’s mine. I have bound her,” Ral growled. “Move away from
my woman or I will kill you to protect her.”
    Ariel turned her head. Some more men had moved closer. They stared
openly at her body. She didn’t like the hungry looks on their faces. She inched
closer to Ral, trying to mold herself to his back as fear set in. He turned his
head and snarled. The men moved back but not far enough away for Ariel’s
comfort. Ral turned his head to face the three men in front of them.
    “Gru, if you do this you will die. Do you understand me? I
have given to our people plenty. I will keep her. I will kill anyone who tries
to take her from me. She is not to share. She is bound to me.” He eyed the men
with Gru. “I will kill you all if you don’t back away now.”
    “Then one of us will die but we want her.” Gru snarled.
    Ral snarled back. He turned his head. “Rham, Ber, Hosh,
protect her.”
    Three large men moved forward. They shoved men out of their
way. Ral met Ariel’s eyes. “My pack. They will protect you. Go with them.”
    Terror hit her hard. “Ral—”
    “You will be in my sight. They will make sure you stay
there.”
    The three large men surrounded Ariel. One of them gripped
her arm and yanked her against the wall out of the way. She stared at the three
men protecting her. She wondered what a pack meant to Zorn. She heard a roar
and jerked her head toward Ral. Four men attacked him instead of three.
    Horror rushed over her. She looked up at one of the three
big men. “Can’t you help him fight?”
    One of the men shook his head. “You are Ral’s woman to fight
for. We only guard you. It is our way.”
    “Your way sucks,” she whispered. Terror for Ral hit her as
she watched him fight.
    Ral was damn good. There were four men surrounding him. Two
of them grabbed his arms while the third man gripped him from behind. The
fourth man came at him from the front. It was Gru. Ariel gasped and tried to
get to Ral. She wanted to jump on one of those bastards. Ral needed help. One
of the men ordered to protect her gripped her arm yanking her back.
    “Stay.” He spoke softly. “Ral needs no help.”
    Ral threw his head back slamming it into the face of the man
behind him. Both of Ral’s feet shot out in the same instant to kick at the man
coming at his chest. Both men gripping Ral’s arms staggered backward trying to
keep hold of him. It knocked both of them off balance.
    Gru roared in pain when Ral had kicked his chest. His body
flew backward, slamming hard into a rough rock wall. When Ral’s feet hit the
floor he yanked his arms together. It sent both off-balanced men crashing into
each other in front of Ral. He yanked an arm free to slam his fist into the
face closest
