CHAPTER TEN

She wasn’t surprised when the panel next to the door chimed. Xal’s face appeared on the screen. “Let me in, Sera.”

She moved in range of the door and it slid open. The Prince stood before her in all his Kordolian glory, a worried expression on his face. Even when his mouth was turned down in a frown and his eyebrows were drawn together in concern, he was gorgeous.

Sera was expecting him to be angry. She held up her hands. “I can explain,” she began, but he put a finger to her lips.

“Don’t. I should be angry with you, but I understand. If my planet were potentially being invaded by another race, I would spy on them as well. But it’s irrelevant now. The plan won’t work. I will not endanger Tarak’s mate.”

The look on his face tugged at Sera’s heart-strings. Unable to resist, she moved close to him, taking his warm hands into hers. “So let me get this straight. You want to trick these guys into leaving Earth by leading them into a trap, but if you don’t give them Abbey it won’t work, because they won’t believe you’re legit.”

“That’s one way of putting it, yes.”

“Then give them Abbey.”

“What are you saying?” He recoiled in horror. “You can’t seriously be suggesting-”

“I’m horrible, huh?” Sera grinned, and Xal’s eyes widened in shock and confusion. “Do they even know what Abbey looks like?”

“Well, no, but-”

The wildest thought had occurred to her. The enemy Kordolians wanted the General’s mate. If Xal wanted his plan to work, he needed a Human female as a bargaining chip, didn’t he?

The General would never give up Abbey as bait. Sera had seen the kind of man he was and the way he looked at his mate and she knew that for a fact. But Sera was available. There was a chance the Imperial Kordolians didn’t even know what Abbey looked like. Sera could very well become the single factor that would convince them to leave Earth.

Could she do such a wild, crazy, reckless thing?

Xal’s people were as scary as hell, but Sera had always been a jump first, ask questions later kind of girl.

“I’ll be your Abbey. You’ll be the evil Prince Kazharan. We’ll get onboard the Ristval V and carry out this devious plan of yours. All they’re expecting is a Human woman, right?”

Xal managed to look relieved and aghast at the same time. “Absolutely not,” he snapped. “Are you out of your mind? You’ve seen how dangerous they can be and how little regard they have for the lives of Humans. How can I let you walk into such a nightmare?”

“Xal, my planet is going to ruined if we don’t do anything. Millions, if not billions, could die. How can you stop me from trying to defend my home? Besides, you’ll look out for me, won’t you?”

“It is out of the question,” Xal growled. “I won’t put you in such danger.”

Sera grabbed Xal’s horns and pulled his head down until their lips were almost touching.
