Chapter Six

Zoey swung around as the door opened and Koran entered.

“You’re late, I’ve eaten already.” Well, she had picked at her food. She felt too uneasy to eat.

“You can take a break,” he said to the guard who had relieved Racar a few hours ago. Once they left, he turned to her.

“I do have other duties, Zoey,” Koran told her stiffly. Did he look grumpier than usual? It was hard to tell. “I do not exist just for your enjoyment.”

She snorted. “That’s good because you give me little of that. And what duties? All we’re doing is waiting for Dex to return with his warriors. I know something is wrong. Tell me what is going on, Koran. You do not want to make me mad.”

Koran raised his eyebrows. “There is not a lot you can do if I lock you in your quarters.”

“You wouldn’t.”

“Wouldn’t I?”

Yes, he would. And the bastard would probably enjoy every minute. Why had Dex left him in charge?

“Dex won’t be happy with you,” she warned.

“Who do you think gave me permission to take such measures if necessary?”

Zoey felt her jaw drop. Then she pointed at him, attempting to appear stern. “You try and I will make you pay. I’ll wait. You won’t know when it will happen or how, but I will get you back. I promise.”

Koran watched her carefully. “I suppose that is meant to scare me?”

Oh, he was so infuriating. He could be a pain in the ass, but he wasn’t usually this bad. She pointed a finger at him as it finally dawned. “You’re deliberately trying to make me mad. But why? So I won’t worry? Koran, what’s happened to Dex?”

Koran sighed. “Panic is counterproductive.”

She would show him counterproductive when she shoved a stick up his ass to remove the one already lodged in there.

“Tell me.” If he didn’t tell her then she was going to question everyone on this ship until someone told her what was going on. “Tell me what is going on.”

“Fine,” he growled. “But if all Earther females are this bossy then I want nothing to do with them.”

Koran walked over to the control panel and pushed a few buttons.

A holographic image of a thin, clean-shaven man with a smug smile appeared.

“Greetings. I am going to assume you know who I am. I have your Crown Prince. He is unharmed at the moment. Well, mostly. But that will not continue unless you fulfill my demands. You have four moon risings to produce Danteson LaBellen to me. Then I will return your Crown Prince and warriors.”

The holographic image disappeared.

“Shit. What did he mean, ‘mostly unharmed’?” Zoey placed her arms over her stomach, as though trying to contain her pain. Dex had been captured? What would she do if something happened to him?

It hadn’t been that long since she had nearly lost him. She didn’t know if she could do this all again.

“What are we going to do?”

Koran watched her carefully. “That was Targos Turek. Last year, he challenged his cousin, Dante, to a high-stakes poker game.
