with a scowl. “We do not support slavery on Zerconia.”
    “For the last time, he’s not my slave! I bought him to free him. But I can’t just leave him here. What if those awful people capture him again?”
    “Give him some credits and place him on a transporter,” he suggested.
    “But what if he has amnesia and can’t remember who he is? Yes, that’s it. He’s not talking because he can’t remember anything. Is that it?” she asked him excitedly.
    The others stared at her in confusion. Never mind, she was used to that. Moving closer, she grabbed the male’s hand. Around her, the warriors stiffened, but she ignored them.
    “Milady, step away from him,” Macon ordered.
    “Oh, chill out.” She was just holding his hand for goodness sake. Nothing exciting about that.
    Macon stepped forward and the big male growled quietly.
    “I am going to get you home,” she told him slowly. “You are safe here. I promise.”
    As he stared down into her eyes, she got the feeling that he understood. Maybe he couldn’t, or wouldn’t, talk. But it seemed that he understood her. She smiled up at him.
    “Let go of my mate!” Dex’s voice boomed through the room.
    Zoey jumped and turned, letting go of the male’s hand. Dex stood just inside the room, his face thunderous, his eyes glowing red with rage. Suddenly, she was picked up and spun through the air. When her feet hit the ground, she found herself blocked from the rest of the room by a wide back.
    Confused, for a moment she thought that either Macon or Jaxan were shielding her. But why would they try to protect her from Dex? Then she realized that it was the silent male who shielded her from her mate.
    Dex led out a loud, fury-filled bellow.
    Oh, this wasn’t good. Not good at all.
    Zoey attempted to move around the male, but he matched her movements, blocking her path. She had no idea how he managed to anticipate her every move, considering he never once turned to look at her.
    “Let me past. That’s Dex. My mate.” She couldn’t see a thing passed his wide back.
    “Let me go!” Dex yelled. “I command you to release me.”
    Oh, crap. When his ‘I-am-your-leader-you-must-obey-me’ attitude appeared, then Zoey knew he was holding onto his control by a thread.
    “Dex! I’m okay. Dude, let me past or he’s going to kill you.”
    The male didn’t budge.
    Glancing behind her, Zoey grabbed a chair and stood on it, giving her just enough height to see over the male’s shoulders.
    “Dex, calm down. I’m okay.”
    “He touched you.”
    She winced at the rage in his voice. Thor and Macon had each grabbed one of his arms while Koran clasped him around the waist from behind.
    His fury-filled gaze was centered directly on the male still standing in front of her. “I’ll kill him.”
    “For touching me? Dex, chill. Besides, I touched him.”
    Dex snarled and pushed against the warriors holding him. They barely managed to hold him back.
    Okay, wrong thing to say, Zoey.
    Amazingly, the silent male didn’t seem to be the least perturbed by the infuriated Zerconian warrior threatening to kill him. Maybe he wasn’t quite right in the head.
    “Dex, just let me explain. I bought him at a slave auction.”
    “I know.”
    He did? How?
    “You were there? What were you doing there?” The image of the naked female popped into her head and she placed her hands on her hips, scowling at Dex. “Just what were you doing there, Dexanon Xa’a?”
    “I was retrieving some of our warriors, mate,” Dex growled. “ You were not supposed to be there. I left orders that you were to return to the ship before the auction began.”
    “You didn’t tell me that I wasn’t supposed to be there.”
    “Zoey,” Thor interjected in a strained voice. “Explain yourself quicker.”
    She glanced over at the healer, who was usually pretty easygoing—at least in comparison to the rest of them. His face was strained, tense. The three warriors holding Dex weren’t weaklings. His rage
