.”
He laughs. “I never thought I’d see the day.”
“Neither did I,” I admit, “but you understand I have to save her. It’s the reason why Dimtri is so obsessed with her. He wants to conquer their planet, enslave their women. We can’t let it happen.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve got your back, Vinz.”
We discuss the finer details of our assault.
Tomorrow, everything changes. It’s a new dawn for Zorans everywhere. The High Command will be overthrown… or I will die trying.

I ’ve barely closed my eyes all night. How can I, after everything that has happened? If you told me a month ago that getting semi-kidnapped (I certainly didn’t have much say in it) by Zorans would be the least of my troubles, I would have taken the first shuttle down to Earth and hid in a jungle somewhere. Well, I would have, if there had been any jungle left.
Now I’m actually, for real kidnapped by a Zoran Senator, who according to Vinz, is going to present me to his Emperor in a few short hours.
Oh yeah, and I’m pregnant. With a Zoran baby.
And Vinz is planning to overthrow the entire High Command and bust me out of the Emperor’s palace. What’s next? Flying off into the sunset on a hovering motorcycle?
So yeah, I can’t really sleep right now.
Kelly slept like a baby however. “Morning,” she says, stretching her arms above her head. “Are we there yet?”
“No,” I snap. “How can you sleep right now? Aren’t you freaking out?”
She smiles at me. “Relax, Jill. Would you be mad at me if I told you that getting kidnapped by alien royalty has always been on my bucket list?”
I throw my pillow at her. “This is not the time for your jokes!”
“It’s the perfect time,” she says, throwing the pillow right back at me. “It’s the only thing I can do, now. We have to trust Vinz to come through. Do you?”
“I do,” I answer. At least, I really, really hope so.
“So do I,” Kelly says. “So we have nothing to worry about!”
I wish I had an ounce of her optimism and carefree attitude. I have zero knowledge on how Zoran pregnancies go, so I have no idea what to expect — this worries me quite a bit! I wish Vinz was here…
The engines kick in to slow us down, the rumble reverberating all throughout the ship. Slowly but surely, the spaceship comes to halt.
“I guess we’re here,” I say, taking a deep breath.
“One alien home world, coming up,” Kelly says. “What?” She says after I give her a look. “You can’t tell me you’re not curious.”
The doors to our cell opens, and Senator Dimtri stands in the doorway. He’s wearing that same awful, yellow garment he had on back on the Vonnegut. Even though he’s taller than me, he’s still quite a bit shorter than Vinz. It’s hard to believe they’re actually the same species – Vinz is tall and broad, while Dimtri is comparatively quite lanky with no muscles to speak of.
I guess what he lacks in muscle he compensates with cunning and trickery.
“Welcome to Exon Prime,” he hisses. “Follow me. The Emperor awaits us.”
Kelly and I follow him down the winding, dark halls of the ship, flanked by his guards on either side. They take us to a shuttle, and my heart flutters with joy when I see Vinz is waiting for us inside.
I run over and jump into his arms, pressing my lips firmly against his. I can’t stop myself – this could be the last time we see each other. He kisses me back, his arms holding me tightly.
“Are you done?” Dimtri says as gets on board with us.
“Sorry,” I mutter as Vinz puts me down on my feet. I interlock my fingers with his, gripping him tightly. I’m never going to let go. I feel a slight prick – and that’s when I notice the charcoal-colored axe resting on Vinz’s hip, the weapon decorated with golden lettering and ceremonial symbols.
“The general here kindly offered to help escort you to the palace,” Dimtri says with a smarmy smile.
