Chapter Twelve

BREENA

By the time our pod stopped spinning, we had been knocked so far off course, Hyose was the size of a marble where it sat way off in the distance. We could even see the entirety of the solar system where it lived as our pod continued to float farther and farther away. Just like Ruze had said, in the vacuum of space, there was nothing out here to stop us.

Alexxon was busy mumbling to himself, putting to use the scanner that Ruze had showed us would locate other planets where we could land.

“This looks good,” Alexxon said, pointing to an area outside the red zone that Ruze had warned us to avoid.

I didn’t understand all of what he had told us about a governing body of Yulineon patrol guys. All I knew for certain was I planned to avoid them at all costs. I didn’t escape only to be killed by some galactic police just because I was human and had been unfortunate enough to have been abducted.

I turned my head to look at Alexxon’s strong profile in the seat next to me. Maybe not completely unfortunate. “What looks good?”

“See this area here?” On the scanner, he increased the size of a solar system with two fingers. “There’s a planet marked in blue and it’s not inside Yulineon territory.”

Alexxon touched the heads-up display that showed our location compared to that of the planets. “Ruze said we could change our trajectory with the compressed air canisters. With a few moves, I think I can aim us toward that planet. What do you think?”

“It looks like our best chance. We can’t stay out here forever.”

“Agreed.” Alexxon turned to me with a brilliant smile.

Despite being terrified that we were completely lost in outer space, my insides went all giddy. “If I could choose anyone to be stuck inside an escape pod with, I would pick you every time.”

Alexxon’s scales suffused with color. “As I would you, leluna.”

I leaned over the console and kissed his cheek. “A kiss for luck.”

Before I could pull away, Alexxon captured my face in his hands. His lips brushed softly over mine before licking his way inside, deepening the kiss until my toes curled and my girly bits started to tingle.

“May the Spirits show us favor.” Alexxon pulled away and muttered some sort of prayer and depressed the lever of one canister.

I white-knuckled the edge of my seat as our pod changed direction. The dot on the heads-up display that was us, started to align with the planet that sat way off in the distance.

Alexxon patiently waited until the pod turned, then discharged the next canister. The only sign he was anything but calm was the rippling of colors across his scales. Our speed increased as we were pushed into a new position.

A few more slight adjustments, and the pod’s instruments showed we were in perfect alignment with the planet.

“Good job, baby.” I released a long breath.

Alexxon settled back in his seat, closing his eyes, and scrubbing his hands down his face.
