Chapter Twelve

Daegon

The night with Zoey had been like a dream.

And like all dreams, it ended with the morning. Daegon opened his eyes to find her still sleeping, naked and curled up in his arms. He took a moment to slowly trace his fingers over her peaceful form, hating the fact that he had to wake her soon. In the distance, even through the doors to his quarters, he could hear alarms blaring.

No contact yet, or he would have been told. Then, the alert would have been deafening, reaching even his personal rooms.

Instead, they told him the Wraith was catching up with the Yemalan and the traitor.

Very soon, he would have to leave her side. It was a first for Daegon – to be reluctant to go to battle. He was a Corgan warrior, born and bred for this sort of thing. Now, with the coming of Zoey, he finally had someone to protect, something to lose.

There was no question in his heart, but it didn't make it any easier. He would go and do his duty, to the chieftain, and more importantly, to all Corgans. But the fact he had to leave Zoey to the Wraith, under the protection of his warriors, was ruining his mood.

The bed was still messy from their fucking. They'd both been too exhausted to begin making it, so the evidence of their passion was everywhere. He could still see where Zoey had grasped the sheets, tearing at them in her mindless desire.

Daegon wanted it to be like that forever.

"Zoey," he said gently, trying to at least give her one moment of peace before she realized what was happening.

And there, the sleepy smile she greeted him with was the single most gorgeous thing he'd ever witnessed. It was gone in the next moment when Zoey properly woke up, recalling that the day had come.

"It's happening?" she asked. "I can hear sounds from outside. Are we there?"

"Not yet," Daegon replied, slowly caressing her cheek, brushing her long black hair out of the way. "Those are proximity alarms. They mean the Wraith has the enemy in sight. Figuratively speaking."

Zoey nodded. In the days they'd spent together, Daegon had come to love her spunk, the way her fierce spirit refused to give up or admit defeat. The way she'd insisted on learning how to fight, how to defend herself, knowing it was more than likely to be hopeless... She was amazing to him.

And so very fragile.

"I should go," Daegon said, shaking his head clear.

It wouldn't do to dwell upon things that might happen. It wasn't the way Corgans worked. They had a goal in sight and they worked towards it until the end. He wouldn't lose Zoey before he actually did, and he wasn't willing to let that happen until he had any strength left in his body.

"I should take control of the bridge and see what the situation is."

"Can I come with you?" Zoey asked at once.

Before he could protest, she pressed on, "Please. I haven't left these rooms for days now.
