Volks grunted. Crix rolled his eyes at him. Jigen’s expertise is technology. Crix is more on biology. Volks’ expertise lies on weapons and tactics.
“Are you telling me that this modified Winox will allow me to travel for only seven days from here to the Purple Tribe land?”
“Oh pardon me,” Jigen has a twinkle in his eyes. “This modified Winox can take you to the Purple Tribe land and get back here in seven days.”
I stood still. Jigen’s success rate is 90%. This means there’s a 10% chance that I’ll end up as a vegetable if the winox’s hyperdrive damaged all my nerves. My beast is quiet.
“How many jump -“
Crix viciously swore.
“Yes! I knew it!”
“Crazy.”
I stood straight. Hands akimbo. “The fuck. You guys took a bet on this? How long ago have you been planning this?”
Jigen rubbed his hands together. “Since you showed up with a battered winox. Oh come off Crix, I care about Zirc. He is our long-time friend. He helped us to be together so don’t go convincing him to just abandon his mission. Zirc, I am all about technology and advancement but I created this specifically for you. I know how dangerous your missions are. How critical a second or a minute is between life and death. I saw that for myself!”
That made his mates pause. Crix and Volks looked at Jigen. “Continue,” I urged him.
“So there is a downside to the Winox I created. Because I created it for you, only you can control it. Only you are fit to be inside of it. Nobody else Zirc. I can modify it to bring in more bodies but for now, only you. And you make total of 10 stops. Use the stops wisely, Zirc. Do not make a shortcut. That is the only downside. Am I clear?”
I nodded. “Show me this winox.”
Jigen smiled at me. Crix scowled. “I still think you should go after Brynn, Zirc. Nothing is more important than a mate.”
I nodded. “I know. But I also know my mission will help more manasties. Do not forget, Coone is her mate as well. He will not let her down.”
Unsaid is the fact that Roqs is not mated to her. I want Roqs to be my mate. We’d been waiting for more than 2 decades.
Crix’s smiled is crooked. Volks and Jigen looked solemn. They know of mine and Roqs’ desire to be mated. Even Coone is not mated to Roqs. They tried and it was painful to watch.
“I trust them. They will get her.”
CHAPTER2
Kidnapped...Again
Brynn
Kidnapped. Again!
I never had this problem before. My roommate, Jinnie, was sexy and beautiful and she had so many problems with stalkers. I was with her when we realized being beautiful is a blessing and a curse. Women envy her. I used to envy her! As they say, there are always two sides of a story.
My gay best friend, Ralph, was a chick magnet. He doesn’t want to attract chicks. He wanted the rooster. We all realized, life always tried to smack us in the face.
Look where I ended up. I was an introvert, happy to spend time with my few friends. Work kept me busy. I had to break up with my last boyfriend because we can’t keep a long distance relationship. It was hard. Friends, family and work made me feel alive.
The one time, the only time, I decided to go on a two week vacation, I got kidnapped by aliens! So far, I got kidnapped three times. They said the third time is a charm. I was this close in getting home. Probably. Jigen said he might find a way to locate Earth and see if I can travel through portals or through a spaceship capable of traveling through wormholes. The rest I couldn’t decipher from him. Though my translator works, the words he uttered are pure science geek. I’m a computer geek. Codes speak to me but not science. He lost me at the wormhole.
Mewl.
I looked to my left. Beyond my cage sounded like a dying animal. I felt sorry for it. I am trying my best not to hyperventilate by channeling my anger to the aliens who kidnapped me. The last I saw was my bodyguard, Roo, fell down defending me. I hope he survived! He was a cool guy, for a bodyguard at least.
Using my right hand, I slowly got up from my fetal position. The lights are low, no one is around. I need to keep moving because I can feel a cold draft of air entering the room. It’s a small room, messy. So far no rats so it’s a blessing. There are lots of things stored in this area. I’m in a cage with lots of clothes the kinds {insert name} will covet. Some are neon colored and serves as a small source of light.
I shivered. I moved my legs towards me and kept my arms around them. One of the fabrics called to me. It would be the same color of Zirc’s fur. Metal grey and looked silky and soft to the touch. Beside it is a much darker color. Roqs. Yes, like Roqs.
