Stuff just kinda…happened.”
    “I reached the comchi when I was with them,” Betinsa added.
    “But I thought Fraiqua was a closed society,” Will said, jumping into the discussion. “I’d always heard they were a bit…racist about other species.” He frowned and lowered his eyes when Betinsa frowned at him. “Sorry, ma’am.”
    “In our case,” she replied, “it was simply meant to be. The comchi cannot be predicted, nor can it be denied, but you are correct, Will. It isn’t common for a Fraiquan woman to take mates from other cultures.”
    Betinsa groaned, making both of her husband’s faces fall immediately into frowns. Drake picked up her hand. “We should get you to a hospital.”
    With the shake of her head, she gave him a wan smile. “I have told you more times than I can count, labor for my species is different. It could be days before our son is born.”
    Alayna’s eyes widened. “Days? It takes days for Fraiquans to go through labor?” No one had bothered telling her that before they’d changed her into one. And fuck it all if the three of them hadn’t even thought about birth control last night.
    Fuck. Fuckety fuck.
    Trying to calm down, she kept telling herself that one romp in the sack, even if it was with two very virile guys, didn’t mean she’d get pregnant. No, one time didn’t mean she’d conceive.
    Shit, she had more than enough to worry about going to Fraiqua and infiltrating Cosenki Chemicals. This problem, she’d dismiss. Or perhaps she’d take a quick visit to the infirmary for a scan before they left the military base. She’d simply cross that stupid reproductive bridge if it popped up in her path.
    Since she’d lost track of what they were saying, Alayna tried to figure out what she hadn’t heard. Matt was talking, so she focused on his words.
    “Lukasi Arma will be your main contact. He’s been inside C.C. for nearly two years.”
    “How do you know so much about this?” she blurted out.
    “Where were you a minute ago?” he asked, his mouth pulling into an irritated line. “I told you, E.B.I. has had me on this since Betinsa was asked to participate in helping you plan the mission.”
    “But you’re human,” she couldn’t help but point out. “We’re supposed to be learning how to act Fraiquan.” God, she should have been paying attention. This wasn’t like her at all. Every mission she’d ever been on had received her full focus. Why was this so damned hard?
    Betinsa stepped into the exchange. “You are still affected by the comchi , Alayna. It will ease soon. Then your memory and your abilities will return.”
    “I hate that,” she grumbled.
    “Hate what?”
    “That you seem to be reading my mind all the time.”
    Betinsa chuckled before she wrinkled her forehead as if in pain. Her expression softened quickly back to normal. “I have been where you now are. I know what you are going through. The best advice I can give you is to stop thinking like a human and start trusting your heart—your Fraiquan heart.”
    Betinsa’s gaze locked with hers, and something inside Alayna seemed to connect to Betinsa at that moment. She could almost hear the instructor’s advice in her thoughts, the reassurance Alayna needed.
    All would be well. She trusted Tanner and Will. Trusted them as they now trusted her to lead them. As Betinsa trusted Matt and Drake and they trusted her.
    Alayna closed her eyes and nodded.
    Matt cleared his throat, probably to get their attention, so she opened her eyes and tried to pay better attention. “Now, as I was saying, Lukasi has been inside long enough to vouch for you. I know him. A good man. He lost his wife before he went deep undercover.”
    “He’s Fraiquan, right?” Tanner asked. “Then what about the second husband?”
    Matt sidestepped the question. “Luka’s on his own now. From what I understand, that’s why this undercover is so damned successful. Everyone thinks he’s got nothing to lose, so he leads with
