Finally getting the hang of the tablet Venom had given her, Dizzy took notes as the different speakers took to the small stage. Every now and then she stopped tapping at the screen to rub the irritated spot on her neck where her collar chafed her scars.

She hadn’t been very excited about coming to the meeting. Venom had practically dragged her through the door to get her here but now she understood why he was so adamant that she attend. The brief chance to interact with other women from her planet who had gone through the strange experience of being Grabbed was priceless.

After finding a seat, she had glanced through the pamphlets in her welcoming packet. Not long after, the program had started. So far the segments had been interesting.

First, General Vicious, a frighteningly huge and harsh-faced man, and Admiral Orion, an equally as tall and intimidating officer, had taken the stage to welcome them. Vicious certainly embodied his name. He had a loud, booming voice that made everyone pay attention, but there was an unexpected gentleness and kindness about him. From the looks of utter adoration he shot his wife Hallie, it was clear the man loved her like crazy.

He was quick to remind them they had rights aboard the ship and encouraged them to report any sort of abusive behavior immediately. The admiral reiterated that point as he talked about designated safe havens around the vessel. Dizzy got the feeling something terrible might have happened in an earlier batch of new brides. She sensed the general and admiral wanted to do everything possible to make sure the women living aboard the ship were protected.

After the discussions about their legal statuses as new wives concluded there were presentations about shopping and entertainment and even the education programs available. Risk gave a quick talk about the various medical services, including couples counseling, offered in the medical bay.

Dizzy tried to imagine the look on Venom’s face if she suggested they seek counseling. He wouldn’t like it but he would go. They might have only been together for five days but Dizzy knew there was nothing he wouldn’t do to make her happy—even if it meant going through the discomfort of discussing his shortcomings with a third party.

Not that he had displayed any so far…

“It’s Dizzy, right?”

A woman of similar age with dark skin and jet-black hair slipped into the seat next to Dizzy as the meeting reached its end. Women were milling around them, talking and enjoying the refreshments offered.

“Yes.” Dizzy noticed the brilliant-blue color of the other woman’s collar and the gorgeously stamped letters adorning it.

“I’m Naya.” She held out her hand. “I’m mated to Menace. He’s a friend of Venom.”

“Oh!” Dizzy couldn’t believe her luck. “He told me about you.”

“Good things, I hope,” she said with a laugh.

“Yes.”

“This is going to sound weird,” Naya began, “but we have a friend in common. She actually got a message to me through a man named Dankirk.”

“Ella?”

Naya grinned. “Yes! I hadn’t talked to her in years but I guess she was asking Danny if he knew any of the women aboard the Valiant.
