Embracing Emily (#7 Warriors of Kelon) Read Online Free Page A

wanting to shove the devices down the Colonel's throat.
    Vallarr set up tracking devices around the perimeter to make sure no one breached the compound where the humans and Kelons lived and worked.
    While the humans were open and welcoming, Vallarr rebuffed any attempt they made to befriend him. Communication was limited as only a few human males were implanted with translators. The High Council found it amusing to force them to learn the main human language of Earth, English. Fortunately, growls and glares were a universal 'stay the fuck away from me' form of communication the humans clearly understood.
    He was not here to make friends, only to do his job. It was clear, they did not know about him, and he was not about to let them or anyone find out. The High Council covered up his history, not that he cared anymore.
    Team leader Jyl already reprimanded him for his gruff behaviour towards the humans, who eyed him with fear—and so they should. He did not care what anyone thought.
    “Our future is invested with the humans. Do not harm this alliance, or I will be having strong words with the High Commander,” Fe-Commander Jyl warned him.
    Vallarr did not back down or move as the smaller Kelon glared at him. “I am here to do a job, not make friends. You are here for that. I shall do my duty and you do yours.”
    Jyl shook his head. “You are head of security, but I am head of this project. Do not step out of line; do not offend the humans.”
    Vallarr snorted, turned and walked away. As long as everyone stayed out of his way, there would be no problem.
    “Time for our first English lesson,” linguist specialist Barr eagerly reminded the team who gathered in the meal room.
    Their main human liaison, Captain Cutter, one of the few humans implanted with Kelon translators, entered the room, nodding with a friendly smile.
    “If you're ready, gentlemen, I will show you the way to the lesson room.”
    “I will meet you in the workout room afterwards,” Vallarr stated to Jyl and turned to walk away.
    “No, Commander, you will attend the lessons and learn the language as well.”
    “It was not a part of my orders,” Vallarr snapped.
    “I am making it an order, Commander. This is not for debate. As head of our security, I would think you would want to learn their language.” Jyl eyed him with clear challenge. “Unless you are unable to learn or afraid.”
    What little pride Vallarr still held onto, Jyl clearly insulted. Vallarr’s temper flared, but he clenched his fists and held them by his side. I will not harm my fellow Kelons. No, he would save it for the training room.
    “I am capable.” He shoved past Jyl and followed the others out of the meal room. He would soon wipe the smug smile off the leader's face while in training of hand to hand combat. His grin turned feral at the thought.
    His gaze scanned their surroundings as they traversed the corridor before the men filed into a room. Vallarr was the last to enter. All the men gathered around and appeared to be staring at something. His view was blocked by their wide bodies.
    “For Elron’s sake, do not stand there—sit down. Now!” Vallarr bellowed at them. They parted, each quickly finding a seat, but their gazes did not leave their new source of fascination.
    Vallarr’s view fell on a small human female. Her soft blue eyes widened while she stared up at him. Shock stunned him into being nailed to the spot. He reviewed every single personnel file, so he knew who should be here and who should not. There were two older human females working in the kitchens and one who worked for the Colonel, but this woman’s face he had not seen before. Vallarr glanced at the human soldier who stood arms folded, glaring at Vallarr. This soldier he had seen.
    Vallarr frowned. “What is she doing here, where is the instructor?”
    “She is your instructor, appointed by the Colonel himself. Have fun.” The captain, clearly amused, grinned as he turned and walked out the
