“I have a feeling my little human will be resourceful. She is… cunning.”
He grinned. “Then she’s exactly the person you need to control you. I mean adore you, Commander.”
I shook my head. I’d sense if the luscious woman was dead. She wasn’t. No, she was very much alive, and she was angry as only a human woman could be. And I adored that about her. “She belongs to me, Grazine. She has for a very long time. I refuse to lose her.”
“It may take some time to find her. Zican is aware of the deadline, which is rapidly approaching. He may be drifting in space, waiting until that timeframe has passed. However, if what you say is true, I will watch the intergalactic communications to ensure if a distress signal is issued, we are notified.”
“Do that.”
“But it may take time is what I’m saying.”
I knew his warning wasn’t without merit or concern as my friend. “I’ll handle the consequences if we don’t find her in the allotted time. Even if we fail, she will continue to be important to me, no matter what my father does. It’s time for changes, Grazine. Our old ways need to be buried in the past. I will convince my father even if it means taking over by force.” I slowly turned my head so he knew what I was saying was truthful. My mother had always told me I was a terrible liar.
As usual, she’d been right.
He took a deep breath. “Then I will be honored to fight by your side to protect the woman you love. We will find her.”
“Yes, I am certain of that. Lieutenant Barto, contact Commander Fields from the Earth Station.”
“And tell him what?”
“That I need his help. And I’ll make it worth his while.”
He eyed me carefully, a grin appearing on his face. “Yes, Commander. As you wish.”
“And bring Thor to me. I don’t want him suffering.”
He hesitated then shook his head. “You surprise me, sire. I think the human has done you a world of good. Perhaps you’ll no longer be the asshole I’ve known you to be my entire life. No disrespect meant of course.”
At least my friend could make me laugh. “None taken, but you’re right, Grazine. She has shown me an entirely different world through her eyes, one I’d like to learn more about.”
The little human was mine. All mine. I’d never experienced the kind of deep emotions I had since meeting her in real life. My hunger now knew no bounds, my need to protect her stronger than ever.
When she was mine, we would mate. Then we would begin a new regime, one that would honor our combined past while embracing an entirely different future.
And we would rule together with compassion.
As images of the lovely Sunny floated into my mind, I watched Grazine out of the corner of my eye as he followed my orders.
Then he turned to me. “Sire, I have Commander Fields on the screen.”
“Excellent.” I raked my hands through my long hair before approaching. I was dressed in battle gear instead of my royal cloak, which was attire I hated anyway. “Commander Fields.”
“What do you want, Commander Soltar?”
“You are aware a transport unit left my ship.”
“Of course I am aware. I take it that it’s your attempt to thwart any possible attempt on rescuing my daughter.”
“Quite the contrary. She was taken from me. I want her back.”
He inched closer to the screen. “You lost my daughter?”
I waved my hand, ignoring his reply. “It would appear I have a difficult enemy to handle. I have a proposition for you, Commander, one you’re going to want to hear.”
“And why would I do that?”
“First of all, you made a dirty deal with my father. I plan on honoring that. However, I have an entirely different offer, one that should lessen your concern about your daughter. But only if you agree to my terms.”
