before they left and to prepare for the future in case something went disastrously wrong.
They sat there for hours. She telling him of the things she would need to do before they left. All of them involved going back to the planet’s surface, a feat that he did not think that the council would approve of. He would run it by Zeb before hand to make sure that he would have his commander’s support. She had a large fortune that could be placed in trust for ‘the Brides of Theron and their Children’. She also had to dissolve her stake in several companies that would face undue hardship if she were to abruptly disappear. With her acceptance of her fate taken so well, it should not be a problem to convince his friends, but the council would be the only thing standing in their way.
He went to the communications panel and called commander Zeb. Speaking in his own language, “Zeb, do you think you have some time to meet with Grace and I in our quarters? We would need to speak with you for about an hour but most likely less. Grace has some great ideas to protect the interests of the women of her planet. I hate to take time from you and your mate but would not ask if it was not extremely important.”
“Sure, I can meet with you both. I just left Avery after doing something that I think will help her adjust. She is alright in our quarters now busying herself with her things. I will be there in a moment and I will explain when I get there.”
He turned to Grace and presented her with a small box. She opened it and found a hearing aid like device. He took the box from her and removed the device from it. Holding it in his hand, “This is a temporary hearing device. It will allow you to understand Zeb. He already is implanted with a translation device so he can understand you but he has not had the time to learn your language enough to speak it. It might sound funny at first but you should get used to it.” He placed the bud into her ear and wrapped the rest behind the ear lobe. “With this device you will hear the translation in one ear and in the other will be our language.” He said something in his own language to show her. She nodded to him in acknowledgement. In one ear she heard, “Do you understand me?” in the other she heard the odd language of the Theron warrior’s. He was right it would take some getting used to.
Chapter 9
About five minutes later, Zeb knocked on the door. Zane let him in as Grace stood proudly behind him. “Have a seat. Zeb, this is Grace, my mate. I believe she befriended Avery in the holding room.” Turning to Grace he added,”Avery happens to be Zeb’s mate.”
“Didn’t you call last night for a sedative?” She looked to Zeb with concern, “Is Avery alright?”
“She is fine now. As I was telling Zane without including the details, I went to the Earth’s surface today and gathered some of the belongings she requested. Right now she is putting them away. She shocked me a bit when I was down there, asking for me to get a feline creature named Books.” He shook his head trying to erase the memory of the cat hissing at him and turned his gaze to Zane, “Brylon helped me gather her things. We tested some of his equipment. We might want to propose to the council that we need to extend this opportunity to all the females taken from Earth. It seems to have made Avery happier. So, what do you need my services for this evening?”
Zane began explaining the plans that he was working on with Grace. “Grace was mentioning that the Earth females need an advocate to make sure that their rights are not violated any more than absolutely necessary. She also has a proposal for the council. She wants to ensure a monetary fund for the future of the Earth females and the children they produce with us. Grace has a sizable fortune by Earth’s standards and would
