Over a week passed before the summons came. Maia and Ashleigh were in the gathering room of the quarters the women had been assigned to, in the middle of a complicated Anterean board game Ashleigh’s guard was teaching them. Both Ashleigh and her attractive attendant seemed more interested in each other than the game and Maia had a feeling neither of them minded when she had to call a halt to it.

“Pardon me, my lady. Your presence is requested at the Omegas’ camp. Will you come with me, please?” The young soldier approached Maia nervously, as if fetching an alien female might be fraught with more danger than facing an enemy on the battlefield.

She stood up, trying to tamp down her anxiety. It had to be Kadan. She could understand why he wouldn’t come in person. His pride wouldn’t risk rejection in front of the other women. But if he was seeking to take their tenuous relationship to another level, wouldn’t he have had her brought to his room in the compound?

Unless he wanted her alone. Far away from everyone she knew, where only the men under his command would hear if she refused his advances and screamed for help.

Stop lying to yourself, Maia. You won’t be screaming—at least not for help.

They boarded a small transport vehicle that skimmed silently over the ground, following a well-defined trail through the dense forest. The young soldier refused to answer any questions. The anxiety radiating from him was so palpable she took pity on him. Instead of grilling him or trying to read his thoughts, she sought to put him at ease, chatting about Prya and the similarities she saw to Earth.

She let out a delighted cry when she caught a glimpse of a furry creature darting across the trail. “It looks like a rabbit! We have animals like that back home. They’re gentle creatures. Some people even raise them as pets.”

“It’s a harbi. Some people in our world raise them as well.” He grinned. “They make very good eating.”

She smiled back. “Our worlds are more alike than you might imagine. When she was young, my grandmother lived near a forest like this. She had a great recipe for rabbit stew.”

Once she cracked his shell, the young Anterean was eager to talk.

“My name is Maia. What’s yours?”

“I am known as Solymus.”

“Have you been in the military long, Solymus?”

“No, my lady,” he responded. “I completed training a few months ago. This is my first posting.”

She glanced out at the unbroken line of trees flashing by. “There’s not much to do here on Prya. You must get bored at times.”

He shook his head solemnly. “I have been given a great honor, my lady. The opportunity to fight under the command of an Omega Warrior. In all our Worlds, only seven men bear that rank.”

She’d sensed from the first that Kadan had a powerful presence, but she had no idea his distinction was so rare. “How does a soldier earn the title of Omega Warrior?”

His tone took on a boyish excitement.
