features.
I approached Dakar, Madas said with a smug smile curling her thin lips. After a few words, I
knew why he was in my dream.
You tricked me, Dakar muttered with flashing eyes.
Yes I did, didn t I? Madas said with a twinkle in her eyes.
So what do we do now? Where do you think Jazin is being held? Star asked anxiously, leaning
forward. When can we leave?
We go after your mate is what we do now, Madas said with a chuckle. Dakar believes he
knows where Lord Jazin is being held based on the descriptions from my dream.
He is being held on Geylur Prime II. I m sure of it. Tai Tek has a prison base there and the
description matches the terrain of the planet, Dakar replied, throwing a dark look at Madas.
We leave within the hour, Madas grinned. I have appropriated an elite Tearnat star ship for our
journey. It is a gift from a friend of Lord Jazin. It is a prototype that holds much promise, I have been
assured. It just needs to be tested.
Who will be going with us? Star asked looking back and forth when Dakar snorted at Madas
use of the word appropriated .
Just us, Madas said with a hiss of excitement.
Dakar grunted. We both felt that the fewer people who knew what we up to, the better. The prison
is a fortress. I am not even sure how we will be able to get into it much less get back out.
I need to see River before we go, Star said looking steadily at Madas. She has some items I
need to borrow.
Call her but make sure she understands that she must tell no one, including her mate if possible,
Madas said rising to her feet. I will pick up the items you need on my way out and meet you at the
star ship.
Star rose as well. She looked at the huge female Tearnat with her heart in her eyes. You really
are very beautiful, Star said giving into the urge to wrap her arms tightly around the other female.
Thank you for giving me hope.
It is my pleasure, little warrior, Madas hissed quietly, holding Star tightly against her for a
moment before she pulled away to brush Star s long hair back from her face. I look forward to
seeing the female warrior in action. Something tells me your enemies will not know how to handle
you.
Star s eyes glittered with determination. They are going to learn what happens when they mess
with my family, she bit out fiercely.
Dakar groaned and shook his head. You know if Lord Jazin is alive he is going to kill me for
letting you go, don t you? Gril is going to be right next to him helping, he muttered under his breath.
Both women chuckled at the look of resignation on the large Kassisan warrior s face.
Dakar better just make sure he isn t in the way when, not if, they found Jazin alive because I m
going to take out anyone who tries to stand in my way of bringing him home, Star thought as hope
welled up inside her.
Chapter 7
Star dropped down onto the ground outside the South House, pausing to make sure she hadn t been
seen. She had used a different method than her and River did when they snuck out. This way was a
little more challenging but she had been less likely to be seen or caught. She felt bad about not telling
Armet what she was doing. She reminded herself that she said she would try to tell him when she
decided to go somewhere first, not that she would.
Besides, she thought trying to consoled her guilty conscious, I did leave a note explaining that I
couldn t tell him about it beforehand but for him not to worry about me. That I wasn t alone and I
knew what I was doing sort of.
She stood up and jogged to the end of the building where Dakar said he would have a transport
waiting. She breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw it just where he had promised it would be.
Star quickly ran over to the waiting vehicle and slid into the back. She turned breathlessly to thank
Dakar again for not trying to insist on going without her. The words died on her lips when she saw he
was not alone.
Uh, hi Armet, Star squeaked out, looking into the dark, glowering eyes of Jazin s Captain of the
Guard. Fancy meeting you here, she added with a guilty expression.
Yes, fancy that, Armet growled out. You were supposed to let me know if you needed to go
somewhere.
Star wiggled uncomfortably in her seat at his accusing glare. Pushing a strand of hair back that had
come loose from her braid, she bit her lower lip and snuck a peek at Dakar who was busy
maneuvering through traffic. She glanced back at Armet s furious face.
I did sort of, she said with a soft plea for understanding in her eyes. I left you a note.
Armet s face didn t relax. I do not read your language, he reminded her before turning around
and facing forward. Do you know how to shoot a laser pistol or wield a laser sword? He asked
gruffly.
It took a minute for Star to understand he wasn t going to return her to the palace. I know how to
