Chapter Six

The Almosses looked a little startled to have Xeric hauling Lemko by the back of his neck. Lilia stayed back in the shadows and watched.

“I am calling the peacekeepers. Lemko assaulted Lilia Zel under our roof.” Xeric growled.

Madame Almoss looked shocked. “You can’t be serious. Why would he want that alien? She is so pale and pasty.”

Lilia winced. Ouch.

“She has his handprint on her arm, over a recently healed wound. There is no way she invited that touch; it would have been agony.”

Lemko sneered. “That is what she likes.”

Xeric looked down. “Why were you in her quarters?”

“I was greeting our guest, and she threw herself at me.”

Madame Almoss frowned. “Lemko, what is wrong with your voice?”

Xeric coughed a laugh. “She was so hot for him, she defended herself with a hairbrush to his throat. He was on the ground when I came in.”

Xeric’s father cleared his throat. “Darling, I am fairly sure that Xeric knows what he saw. You know that Lemko has a tendency to leap first.”

Madame scowled. “She must have enticed him.”

Lilia stepped forward. “Not through a closed door I didn’t. By Wralik standards, your treatment of me as a representative of the Zel family is sadly lacking. If it were not for Xeric’s care of my wounds, I would be calling the peacekeepers myself.”

Madame Almoss flinched. “Miss Zel, I did not know you were there.”

Xeric muttered, “I did.”

“I realise that, but do you also realise that Lemko was trying to bribe me into his bed before he tried force? It might explain the financial issues that you are facing. If that is the only way he can get laid, it must be expensive to have him as a son.”

Madame’s skin darkened to a charcoal grey. “I apologize for the insult to you under our roof. You will be safe here for the next three days.”

She chuckled. “I doubt it. I have no door and the look in his eyes is indicating that he will deal with me when I am alone. If he is here, I am not safe.”

Lemko grovelled, “Mother, please. I promise to mend my ways.”

His father put his arm around Madame Almoss. “While the matriarch has the final say, until you pay for your transgressions under our roof, you are no longer my son.”

Xeric nodded. “Keep an eye on him while I call the peacekeepers.”

Lemko was grovelling at his mother’s feet, begging for leniency. Madame Almoss’s lips tightened. “Miss Zel, show me your arm.”

That was easy. Lilia lifted her sleeve and the darkening mark was readily visible.

Lemko’s eyes hardened, and he got to his feet, lunging for Lilia. This time, she didn’t pull her punches.

She struck hard and fast at the pressure points she had taken the trouble to learn when she first arrived. He was paralyzed and twitching on the floor in a flurry of strikes.

Madame Almoss blinked, and her husband smiled slowly. “Miss Zel, you seem to be able to defend yourself.”

Lilia rubbed her fingers. “Madame Zel insisted that I learn as my obvious differences would make me a target in certain circles.
