Flame of the Alpha
Page 14
“Standard pursuit methods have netted us nothing, Captain. Less than nothing, in fact. This trader vessel and its Alpha crew have become a liability, one we cannot afford to have traipsing around the galaxy, mocking us. We need this ship destroyed. Soon.”
And how’s that my problem?
Neo knew better than to let his annoyance get the better of him. He tilted his head, nodding slightly, encouraging the Councilor to continue.
“You’ve seen these people. Some of them, at least. You know who they are. You can get close to them. Use your…” His lips flattened in distaste. “Dominant persona, if you must. Just get in there and kill these bastards. Any way you can.”
A genuine spark of hope flared to life in Neo’s chest. “And if I can’t?”
The Councilor smiled, an easy, amused smile that revealed a flash of cruel determination. “The next guy we send after the Alphas will come after you, too.”
Lacey Savage
Lacey Savage began her love affair with romance at an early age. In high school, she checked out steamy romance novels from the public library and would often be found reading them in the middle of class.
Lacey still reads more than she cares to admit, and probably more than her husband would like, considering how many books she keeps bringing into the house. Her favorite genres have always been erotica, romance, fantasy, science fiction and mystery, so she tries to incorporate a little of each into her writing.
She initially majored in Marketing then went back to school to major in English Literature. After earning her degrees, she decided to turn her efforts to her true passion: writing. A hopeless romantic, Lacey loves writing about the intimate, sensual side of relationships.
She currently resides in Ottawa, Canada, with her loving husband and their mischievous cat.
