Realizing the female was a cambion, Urzra felt a small amount of alarm when she put her hands on him next.Her magic infused him and the gaping wounds in his chest and back healed instantly.The bullet was expelled from his side and that wound vanished as well.
“I used my ability to wield lightning to restart her heart,” the pretty female with black hair said.
Bria was unconscious, but he sensed her pain was gone.“I owe you, females,” Urzra said to the blonde healer and her friend.“Anything you ever want or need is yours.You just need to ask.”
“Let’s get you two home,” Amaros said as he helped Urzra to his feet.
Kochab went to pick Bria up, but Urzra intercepted him.“I’ve got her,” he said.
His brother held his hands up in surrender with a wry grin.“I’d feel exactly the same way if it was Qiana lying there,” he said.
They huddled together, then Amaros teleported them to their base.
“Am I the last knight to arrive?”Urzra asked, placing his female on an examination bed in the center of a large infirmary.
“We officially have half of our squad here now that you’ve arrived,” Amaros said.“It’s a long story,” he added wryly.“We’ll wait for your female to recover before we fill you in.”
“I’m Dr.Qiana Forgan,” the blonde cambion said.“Your mate will be fine.She lost a lot of blood, but she’s already recovering.I’m sure she’ll wake up soon.”
Feeling suddenly weary, Urzra nodded his thanks.“Can someone stay with Bria while I get washed up?”he asked.“I don’t want her to see me covered in blood when she wakes up.”
“Grace?”Amaros asked, raising his voice only slightly.
A tiny female who was even smaller than Bria opened one of the doors a moment later.Blonde, green-eyed and with a pointed chin, she looked like a pixie.“You called, boss?”she asked.
“This is Urzra,” the commander said.“He’d like you to stay with Bria for a few minutes.”
“No problem, Urz,” Grace said.“I’ll look after Bri while you’re gone.”
“Grace gives us all nicknames,” Kochab said when his brother lifted both eyebrows.“I’m Koach and my mate is Qi.”
“What does Grace call you?”Urzra asked his leader.
“Amaros,” his boss said with a smirk.
“Am or Ama just doesn’t suit him,” the teen said, wrinkling her pert nose.“Go on now,” she said, flapping her hands at Urzra.“Bri will be fine until you get back.”
Anxious at leaving his female behind, Urzra followed Amaros to a huge bathroom.Camriel loped down the hallway with a bundle of items in his arms.“Hey, brother,” he said in greeting with a grin.“You’ll need these,” he said.
“Thanks, Camriel,” Urzra said, giving his brother a brief hug.He took the towel, washcloth and toiletries, then chose one of the showers.It was in a cubicle for privacy.He quickly washed away the blood and grime, then dried himself off.He sensed Bria’s sudden confusion and figured she’d just woken up.Grace seemed like a good kid despite her gray soul.All of the cambions’ souls had been gray so far.He detected several more were gathered in another room, along with a human.One thing was immediately obvious; it was bound to be interesting living in a base with of a mixture of several different species.
