Lovers of the Galaxy: Book Three: Raiders of the Lost  Heart
“Tell Jaxxon to come
down here. He should hear this, too. I think what I have to say
will help us tremendously.”
    Almost as if he’d heard his name called, her other
mate appeared before she could even move. She laughed. “Okay, you
two have to stop scaring me like that. Now come on. Let’s talk to
Badden and Acwel before the first female changes.”
    Each of her warriors grabbed one of her hands and
pulled her into the lab where the females lay secured. This time,
their stench greeted Venus with a force that would have sent her to
her knees retching, but Jaxxon removed something from his tool belt
and smeared a salve under her nose to help.
    She patted his arm and nodded. “Thanks, this is going
to be a rough pregnancy if this stuff is already happening to me.”
She glanced over at her friends. Badden stared through the
microscope, his brow wrinkling.
    “This cannot be right.” He moved to the next sample
and frowned again. “Jaxxon, come take a look at these blood
samples.”
    “What’s wrong?” Venus hurried over to Badden, who
glanced up.
    “I have never seen anything like this serum your
doctor friend created and I’ve seen plenty of things. It is
completely taking over the mutant cells and destroying them in the
female, replacing the bad cells with normal red blood cells. It is
the strangest thing, and at the rate it is moving, I am guessing
she will hit crisis within the next half hour. You said that is
when she will shift. ” He moved aside and let Venus study the
slides.
    It was both beautiful and amazing. She straightened
and looked at Jaxxon. “Later could you trap two or three males, and
get me a few blood samples from them? I’d like a comparison to see
what the formula does to the blood from adult males—and I’ll let
you handle all the samples.”
    “We’ll see. Now tell us your idea.” Jaxxon chuckled
and led her out into the main lobby of the bank. All four men
leaned against the supplies and waited.
    “Can you bring up your ship’s computers from here?”
Venus asked Badden, who nodded. “Good, and all four of you can read
what the computer finds?”
    He nodded again.
    “I was thinking if you can have the computer switch
to English we could use it to teach the children about your world
and our world of this century. There was much advancement since
their time. I’m sure they are all confused and with more men coming
from different worlds it might be a good idea to get them use to
the idea of seeing different species? I mean, I would also like to
learn more about your people Volund, Jaxxon.”
    Reaching over and taking Volund’s hand, she pulled
him into the small security room where the map of the city was. “At
this school here there were computers for the children. If we could
connect them to your hard drive?”
    “I’d have to look at these machines you call
computers, but I don’t see the problem with that. We could also
have a portable system brought on the next load here. That way we
would not be without no matter what happens.” Acwel looked at
Badden, who nodded.
    “It might also help with trying to figure out this
problem with the men, but I can’t promise anything.”
    “That will have to wait until we get the next three
buildings secured and the wall around the compound itself. But I’m
sure we could bring a few of the computers over here for right now
and hook them up so the children learn about your history.” Volund
massaged her shoulders and kissed her cheek.
    “Anytime you want to know more about our world we’d
be glad to tell you.” Jaxxon ran his hand over her belly. “We’re
having three babies,” he announced to Badden and Acwel.
    She moaned as all four of the men surrounded her,
touched her stomach and talked about the babies.
     

Chapter Five
     
    Venus ran circles over her stomach with her fingers
and glanced at the first Bone Eater lying on the table. A decision
was worrying her. Did she waste the serum left on the older female
or should
