Biran
The next morning was frantic. All four of us woke up to an empty bed. Mya was nowhere to be seen. We searched all over the ship, used all the resources at our disposal, including a body temperature scanner that would alert us to stowaways or passengers on board. Nothing.
That’s when we realized that the ship she’d arrived on was gone. She’d stolen it and escaped. The four of us stared at the lone, empty spot where it had once been.
My heart broke. I’d tried to be as kind as I could, to understand how she felt as a human. To ensure she was treated with a gentleness that could change how she felt about us. The way she’d looked at me last night, with warmth and quite possibly love had shattered me to the core.
I shut my eyes and squeezed the bridge of my nose.
I’d been myself with her. Completely. I hadn’t held anything back. And now, she’d stepped on my heart and shattered it into pieces. Hurt consumed me.
Shot myself in the fucking foot, more or less.
Anger twisted inside me. When we got her back, I was gonna mark her tight little ass with my belt. She would regret running from us.
We had finally found our woman and she was ours, whether she liked it or not.
“Dex, start scanning entry logs for her ship. Biran, prepare our vessel for attack. I don’t know where we’ll end up, but we have to be prepared. I want every gun ready to fire. Every laser at full charge. Ejan, check our defenses. Make sure the laser shield is sound and running at full power. I want everything on this. Every fucking thing we have,” he commanded. He was calm and determined, although I knew there was unbridled fury simmering there just under the surface.
I admired him. I couldn’t control my own anger like he could. I wanted to punch walls, hurt someone and I knew Ejan and Dex were feeling the same way.
The four of us rushed up to command headquarters and we each worked on our assigned task. I ran diagnostics on every weapon on board, powering them on one by one. Every laser gun was charged to the hilt, including some of our modified hydrogen laser guns. Most of them were automatic, focusing on a predefined target at the touch of a button.
Beside me, Ejan worked on the shield and Dex searched every corner of web he could. When he finally whooped out loud, I knew he had found her.
“What the fuck is she doing at Xavier?” he growled, his own anger peaking. “I’m going to cane that ass of hers so hard, she bears my mark for days.”
Xavier was a small space station that operated under the official license of a high end, male only spa, but that was just its cover story. Instead, it was a rich man’s brothel, where you could buy whoever, whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted. My stomach clenched and I roared, smashing my hand down on the counter.
No one else fucking touches my woman.
I’d kill the first man who tried. Fucking tear his throat out.
I heard Talor’s fingers tap a few keys and the entire ship jolted into hyper drive. Talor must have activated the emergency travel option, which jumped through a series of wormholes to reach our destination as quickly as possible. It was a dangerous way to trek through the galaxy. There was a chance you’d get shifted into an entirely different region of space, in pieces, but all of us agreed that now was the time to use it.
Our mate was in trouble. We had to get to her.
The ship shook, and I felt the g forces of traveling at such a dangerous speed deep in my belly and it was unnerving. I gritted my teeth and held one to the armrests of my seat, struggling against the power of our speed.
Within minutes, the circular shape of Xavier came into view and the ship began to settle into a more normal motion. I breathed a sigh of relief upon arriving safely.
All four of us exchanged looks.
“Let’s get our mate back,” Talor ordered.
Dex, Ejan, and I murmured our agreement, diving into our mission.
Beside me, Dex was searching for Mya, trying to assess her position within the station and once he figured out the exact coordinates, I used them to train guns on the room she was in. He hacked into her wristband and forced a remote connection so that we had a live video feed into where she was being held.
We could see her, pressed onto the floor with a big fat Drugan sitting on top of her. I watched in horror as his arm swung back. He slapped her hard, and my blood boiled.
“You good for nothing piece of shit Drugan,” I roared, and his head jerked up so that he was staring right at me.
“Get the fuck off of her.” Ejan shook angrily beside me.
“Who the hell are you,” the Drugan responded, looking a bit confused and then angry.
His skin turned a brighter red and I glared in his direction. The Drugans were a strong race but the Vakarrans had beaten them before, but it would be a mistake to underestimate them. Although I was fairly confident between the four of us, we could take him, I was still wary.
