the neglected yard. It made her happy, and that made him happy too. He’d found her a new job, one that suited her better and she seemed to love it. She was now a counselor for the new people who were coming to the planet in droves. His mate worked three days a week, and she was also taking classes on the computer to learn more about helping clients.
    Her job was to help them adjust to the move. It was not only the emotional aspect she helped them deal with; she helped them find jobs, a place to live, and she had started a support group where immigrants could help each other and make friends. Her services were popular and free to the individuals. The government paid her, which made her happy because she liked some independence.
    Sally and Molly had adjusted well and made friends quickly. Most of the native children were male, but that didn’t bother the girls and they had their cousins, Mimi’s children, to play with also. The only dark cloud on the horizon was Oison’s relationship with Earth. It was degrading to the point that Stevr worried that each time he went there for mates, would be the last. There were other places to get mates, but Earth had so many and Oison needed large numbers.
    “I thank the gods every day for you.” Cravr whispered in Annie’s ear.
    “My feelings are the same. Had Jorgr not fallen in love with Georgie, I shudder to think what would have happened.”
    “His mating affected your whole family in a good way. All of you were brave to take a chance on a male you didn’t know.”
    “Your brother saved us. If we were on Earth now, there would be no way to escape.”
    “They have locked down travel and unauthorized ships are shot down, but they still don’t have the technology to locate and track our ships.”
    “How do you know that?”
    “We have people checking on things for us. The former and the current head of the company that has been causing us trouble, we have eyes on them.”
    “You plan to take them out?”
    “Only if we must. You have to realize that they are dangerous. Not only to our businesses, but they almost killed one of our mates and an infant. The sad thing is they weren’t even trying to kill anyone. What will happen if they start trying?”
    “I don’t disagree with you, I never thought I was the vengeful kind, but attack my family and I want you dead. Just use the best you have. If they are caught, it would mean war.”
    “We won’t do it ourselves. There’s a company set up on the moon. They are the best at what they do. Those hunters find people or property then they retrieve or destroy it.”
    Annie shivered in his arms. “They sound dangerous.”
    “They are, but not to us. We have built up a relationship with them. Don’t worry sweetheart, we use them regularly and they protect us. Let’s get back to what we were doing.”
    Cravr leaned over and kissed his mate. This was what he lived for, in her arms he could forget the worries and difficulties of daily life and celebrate the joys. This female and his family was his everything. So far all his brothers had found their perfect mate. He hoped the gods stayed on their side with only two brothers to go.

    Norvir
     
    Norvir was the calm, laid back, and studious brother in a family of primitive beasts that were gentle only as needed. That wasn’t to say he couldn’t let his beast out when needed, he could. When he missed the mating games because Cravr mated before them, he wasn’t upset. He would be in the ones he expected and still try to lure some experts to their planet to help him set up a good conservation program that would span lifetimes and save their planet the troubles Earth had.
    When he arrived on the distance space station, Tellur III, Cravr met Dr. Nathalie Goodrich and immediately knew everything had changed. Not only was the female, with a dual degree in biology and chemistry, exactly the one they needed to run his program, but she set off a need in his beast, he
