Page 56 of Made For The Alien Warrior

The big, blue alien melted into a smile that seemed more appropriate on a school boy.

Symphony shuddered. “Guys, if you defeated the Ungazi, that means you can defeat other Plutonians, right? It should be easy enough to wipe them out.”

Tiegan arched an eyebrow nub in her direction. “So violent.”

“Are you going to let them live then?” Adhi asked.

“That is what we must discuss,” Korben explained, gesturing to the other Plutonians.

“If they bring the war to us,” Zar growled, “do we have any other option than to fight?” His gaze landed on Simone with a gravity that took Symphony’s breath away. “I will never let anything harm my female.”

“A little possessive but sweet,” Simone mumbled. Moving over to him, she pressed a kiss to his cheek. “I don’t mind kicking evil Plutonian butt. Rune already tricked out our zapten. I can take a hit.”

Zar did not look thrilled at the idea.

Sara bobbed her head. “If it comes down to a war, we will fight with you.”

“Neh,” the Healer said, scrambling into the room.

Everyone turned to watch him.

Korben dipped his head. “Healer.”

“Killing our own is not the answer,” the Healer hissed, his cheeks turning purple from his passionate cry.

“Them killing our females is?” Zar spit. His eyebrow nubs slashed down over his hardening eyes. He stood protectively in front of Simone as if a threat had appeared before him.

“Our comrades have simply lost their way. If we were to show them the beauty of the union between humans and Plutonians, they may change their minds.”

“You want us to go on a publicity tour to stop evil Plutonians from killing us?” Sara’s voice echoed in the chamber. “Healer, that doesn’t make any sense.”

“It can be done. We must stop those who do not understand by giving them the knowledge. Only then will they be able to turn from their ignorance and hatred.”

“That hasn’t exactly worked on earth,” Symphony mumbled.

“What do you expect us to do?” Tiegan asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Symphony was surprised by how distracted she was when his muscles flexed. She silently scolded herself. They were discussing matters of life and death here, for crying out loud! It was not the time to be turned on by Tiegan.

Rune strode into the sacred damas. He looked exhausted. Lines deepened around his mouth and eyes. His fingers were stained with some kind of chemical.

Symphony swerved her attention to him. “Where’s Ginger? Is she up yet?”

“Neh.” Rune shook his head sadly. “She is not taking to the nano-tech the way you did.” He rubbed his square jaw in frustration. “This case is far too complicated.”

“Then why are you here instead of in there with her?” Adhi demanded. “What if she dies?”

“Herjideziillness has been treated. She will be fine while I join this conversation.” Rune turned and hit the Healer with a stiff look. “I am against reasoning with those who stand against the humans. We must strike hard and fast.”

“You are blinded by your love for your mate,” the Healer said, his voice trembling.

“Indeed! I would rather tear my own skin off than see Ga Eun and Kenzie meet harm.”

Symphony’s head volleyed between the aliens. This matter must be incredibly serious if Rune and the others were willing to go against the Healer. Sara had given her the impression that everyone respected the Healer and catered to his every word. He was, after all, the reason the Plutonians were still alive.

“There is no need for any of the humans to be put in harms way. I will summon those in the resistance.” The Healer tapped his chest. “I will speak to them myself.”

“What if they don’t want to be summoned?” Sara asked.
