Dragons Of Udora: The Complete Series (Books 1-4)

  "You believe him?" she asked.

  "Strangely, I do. He would have no reason to make up such information. He has told me about other human females that are not happy and that are treated badly as slaves, whether at the base or in the city. So why would he make up this information about this one?"

  "That is shocking information. I must say that I am relieved. Thank you for telling me. I wish my mother were still here so that I could give her the information as well and give her some peace. But you bring me a peace. Knowing that perhaps things were well for Dr. Jade Roberts is important."

  "Yes, I agree. It seems that human females on Kaethon can sometimes find love with a Kalazaron warrior and be happy. I do not know much about Captain Ankon’s parents, but it seemed to be a marriage of love that he was born from. His mother was a human female and his father a Kalazaron. So, some women are treated well. If you think about it, here on Earth it is the same way. Some women are treated well and others are not."

  "Yes, that is true. Thank you for giving me this information. I am glad that I funded half of the mission. It seems to have been a success. The fact that you returned makes it a success; I was fearful that you would be lost, just like Jade," she said to me.

  "If I am ever lost, know that it is of my own doing," I said to her. Jill looked at me strangely and then she smiled.

  "I understand," she said.

  "I want to give this to you," I said, handing her a disk. "It is all of my research from this mission. I want it to be part of your library. I want it out in the public for everyone to know."

  "I will see that it is done quietly, of course," she said. I stood up and gave her a big, long hug. It was a goodbye hug.

  After a week of playing the good and obedient ambassador, I had gained the vice president’s trust to do some research that would give me access to Captain Ankon.

  "Come with me to your ship," I said to Captain Ankon as I walked into his living quarters. He looked at me with anger in his eyes. I did not know what they had been doing to him up until then, but something told me he didn't like it.

  "Why? So you can experiment on me?" he said with anger.

  "No, I am doing research on your ship. I need to take notes and details of how it works. I need you to show me how it works, how to start it, how to steer it, and more. I need to know about all the technology on it. How the shields work and weapons, everything. The vice president has let me take charge of this project, if you will cooperate."

  "Just me and you?" he asked.

  "Yes, just us once we are inside the ship. We will have guards with us to escort you to the hangar where the ship is kept. But once we board the ship, I can tell them to wait outside. He arched an eyebrow at me as though he knew where I was going with this.

  "I am ready," he said to me.

  Moments later, we were boarding the ship and I had the guards wait outside. I went through the motions of the research for a few minutes before I turned to him as a friend. "I am sorry for everything that is being done to you. Please know that I have nothing to do with it. I want to help."

  "How can you help? As you said, you have nothing to do with this. You are not in power here," he said, moving closer to me, putting an inch between us.

  "I know. I want to help you escape."

  He stopped moving abruptly. He looked down at me and put his finger under my chin and tilted my head back until my eyes met his. "How can this be done? Do you mean to escape the building and for me to live here on Earth?"

  "No, to escape back to your planet."

  "Impossible. Even if I could escape, I would not leave without my warriors. Helping me escape might be easy, but helping twenty of us escape will not."

  "I understand that. I cannot help twenty of you escape. Only one of you."

  He looked at me for a long time and said, "Remember that dream? Remember the dream you thought I implanted in your head? How I touched you? How I licked you? How I tasted you?" his voice grew husky.

  "I remember. How could I forget? I have thought of little else."

  "I did it. Just as you suspected, I did it on purpose. I wanted to know what it was like to be with you. I could not restrain myself. Just as I can't now," he said as he moved towards me and kissed me.

  His kiss was deep and passionate. His hands moved down my back and cupped my ass. I moaned and squealed at his delicious, strong, large hands on me. He was so overpowering with his hybrid body. It made me feel so small.

  I realized that this was the first time that he was actually on me like this in real life. Before, it had been dreams, yet they felt so real that this was familiar to me. It felt the same as it did in the dreams.

  I let my hands moved over his strong chest and down his strong stomach. I let my hand linger over his spiral tattoo on his belly. He saw it as a shameful mark and I saw it as beautiful and special. I could feel him getting hard as he pressed his body against mine. I wanted him to take me right then and there, and it was so hard not to give into that. Just a few more seconds, I told myself as his hands ran up and down the length of my body.

  “You feel so good, Avery. I love touching your warm, small body,” he whispered between kisses. His words set my whole body on fire. I could not believe that I had an alien hybrid touching me. He was a fierce warrior, and so strong and rough. I desired him above all else. I was losing myself to this lustful desire and deep attraction that we shared.

  I did not want him to stop. I was completely infatuated with this Kalazaron warrior. It was true: the Kalazaron had power over the human females. I did not understand it, but I had fallen under the same spell that many human females had been under before me. I was willing to risk it all for him. But it was more than that. I knew that what the United Planets Association was doing was wrong. In my heart, I knew it was wrong, and I had to follow my heart.

  "We have to stop. I have a plan. But we will not be successful if we spend all our time doing this," I said breathlessly, pulling away from him.

  "But I could do this forever," he said as he stole a few more kisses.

  "Listen to me. We are to come here to the ship once a day for a week so that I can collect the research. These notes must be full at the end of the day every day. They will be checked. But I want to give you this," I said, handing him a disk.

  "What is it?" he said looking on strangely.

  "It is information that will show you how to fly an Earth ship. A very small Earth ship."

  "I already know how to fly your ships. Every time we have taken an Earth ship, we study it and we fly it."

  I was impressed by his knowledge and felt safer knowing that he already knew how to fly an Earth ship and had practice at it. But I knew that a lot could have changed with the new technologies and I wanted him to have everything possible. "Here, take it just in case. There have been many changes. Please study it. You would be fine and very small ship. It must be fast but still able to make long ranges. After you have studied it, on the last day that we come here, I will take you to the ship and you can escape."

  "We can escape," he said.

  "I told you I cannot help the other twenty," I said. He pulled me into his arms and said, "I meant you and I. Will you come with me, Avery?"

  I gasped at his words. I had been thinking it, but I did not think he would want me to. I was scared that he blamed me for the experiments that he had been undergoing.

  "You would want me?" I asked him.

  "I have been restraining myself against wanting you. But I cannot control it. I want you, Avery. It is hard to explain. We have little time."

  "Yes, we have a little time. Let us focus on this now," I said to him. Then we went to work. We filled the notes for the day, still leaving plenty that needed to be researched on the ship so that we could meet every day the whole week. We did everything by the book. We did not show emotion for each other. At the end of the day, we parted and I went to my living quarters. Could I do it? I looked out my window at the beautiful Earth around me. It would be hard to lea
ve, yet deep down, I knew. I had known all along; I was going to Kaethon.

  Chapter 11

  CAPTAIN ANKON

  I was surprised when Avery came to me with a plan of escape. I thought she thought nothing of me. After I was greeted by the council and I told them about the rebel base, they began to take blood from me. It pissed me off. What could I do? I was a Kalazaron captive. I knew that it was justice, justice for all the humans that we had taken captive on our planet. Therefore, I could not exactly be too angry about it because I was after all half human.

  A means to escape had always been on my mind, but I never suspected that it would happen so soon. It was my plan all along to seduce Avery into helping me escape, and that's exactly what was happening. Though I felt like it was not a result of my seduction. It was something else. I wanted her, and she wanted me, but it was not love. Was it? We had a great desire and lust for each other, but I could not love a human female, or so I thought.

  Then the moment that Captain Holt came into my quarters and began to yell at her, I became a defensive warrior. A warrior that was defending his female. I had seen it many times before at the rebel base, but I had never subjected myself to harm’s way in order to protect the female, whether it be human or Kalazaron. Yet I was doing exactly that for Avery Jones. Damn it. It was a struggle on the inside. My human side and my Kalazaron inside had always been at odds, and now I was at odds for a human female.

  When the words spilled out of my mouth, come with me, I was shocked. I had no control in that moment. I was lost in lust for this human female. In the moment, I was no longer looking at her ample tits. I wasn't imagining my hard cock in her mouth. No, I was just thinking of her and not wanting to lose her company.

  Over the months on the trip to Earth, I had grown used to our conversations and her company. Now on Earth I looked forward to seeing her as well. So when she spoke of me leaving Earth back to Kaethon, I knew in that moment that I did not want to leave without her. The invitation for her to come with me spilled out of my mouth before I understood what I was saying. Could I really take a human female with me? What if my feelings were temporary, and I robbed her of her Earth life to live on Kaethon with me? Only to cast her aside when my feelings had left me? No, I could not do that to her. Perhaps I spoke too soon and I would have to rescind that invitation. It was better for her to stay on her own planet. What could I offer her of mine other than my attention, and even that could be fleeting? I did not know myself. This is the way it had always been growing up hybrid.

  I would have to tell her not to come with me. I would have to tell her that I was not good for her. But she could not give up her Earth life for me. This was just a fleeting emotional exchange between us, and not real.

  The day came. I was ready. It was now or never. I was leaving twenty of my warriors behind, but I knew that once I was back at the Blue Mountain base, I could open negotiations with the humans as they had first requested and maybe get the warriors back. I was not doing them any good by being a prisoner and a science experiment. At least back on the base, I could help secure their return.

  "Are you sure you have studied? You know how to fly the ship?" she said to me nervously while we were inside my ship completing the research notes as we had done for the last few days.

  "Yes, I am confident. I am ready."

  "The ship that I pointed out to you on our walk here today, that is the ship that we will be taking. It is not guarded today. Ships leave this port on such a regular basis, almost every 30 minutes. It is a main port and the ship departure will go unnoticed. We are going to walk out of the ship and I am going to tell the guard posted that we are walking around the outside of the ship to gather detailed notes. He will not follow us. And as we go around to the backside of the ship, we will walk away unnoticed."

  "Yes, I am ready," I said to her.

  We walked out of the ship speaking about the terminology and the structure of the ship while Avery took down what I said.

  She nodded to the guard casually and said, "We are taking notes on the outside structure of the ship." Then she looked at me and said, "Let us start at the head of the ship and work our way towards the back." We continued to talk casually and the guard stayed posted at the door.

  "Go now. This way," she said as she walked in a straight line in front of my ship to a smaller ship. It had worked; the guard did not follow us or even notice our disappearance. We both boarded the small Earth ship. I began to make the preparations and flipped the switches. As I did so, I knew I had to tell her, "You cannot come with me, Avery. It is not your place. You must stay here on Earth."

  "What?! I want to come. I want to be with you."

  "No, you do not. It is merely a trick of the mind. The dreams that I give you, they are projections meant to seduce you and manipulate you into wanting me. I did it all because I knew that I could convince you to help me escape. You must stay here."

  She walked over to me and slapped me in the face. It was unexpected but justified. "Good, be angry with me. Hate me. It would help you to forget me. You must stay here," I said to her again.

  "It was not only your dreams that drove me to wanting you. I have always wanted you. I have always been fascinated by the Kalazaron. Then, when I saw you when we first took your ship, in that moment I wanted you. You had not given me dreams at that point. That was all me. When I would talk to you, our conversations, I wanted you and you had not yet given me the dreams. That was all me. You're doubting yourself, as you always have: a circumstance of being a hybrid. I know you. I know what you are doing."

  "Hey! Who's in that ship?" we heard a voice shout from the outside.

  "Go! Fire it up; go now!" she shouted as she closed the door of the ship with her still inside. I fired the ship and she buckled in. Within seconds, we were shooting out of the port into space. There was no turning back now. She was stuck with me.

  Hours later, we were in space and headed toward the planet of Kaethon.

  "You are sure that it is 24 hours before they will launch a tracking ship?" I asked her as I moved at the controls.

  "Yes, there are many rules and regulations and they need permissions in order to launch such a mission. First of all, it will be hours before they figure out who has taken the ship, then add that onto the 24 hours it will take for them to launch a ship if they decide it is worth tracking."

  "That is enough time. I have disabled the tracking system so they would have to find us in a vision field and that is not an easy task, even though they know our destination."

  We were silent for a time and then she finally said, "Why did you change your mind? Why do you not want me here with you? Why did you say such things?"

  I put the ship on auto pilot, double checking the coordinates for Kaethon. I had to tell her. I had to tell her what I did not want to tell her the entire time that I had known her. I moved over to her and grabbed her hand and said, "Avery, you will never understand me unless you know where I come from."

  "I am listening Ankon. You can tell me anything," she said in a comforting whisper. I wanted to take her in to my arms and kiss her and make her mine, but I needed to explain first.

  "My mother, as you know, was a human female. She was a fierce warrior. Her ship was a military ship from Earth that was captured by the rebels, captured by my father, Jaylin Brackin. My mother’s name was Serena Swands. They are gone now, but they were passionately in love. Their love resulted in me. My mother is one of the few human females on Kaethon that has become pregnant by a Kalazaron. It is rare."

  She gasped, "I know of that ship. It is one of the many that I had studied. But we do not know exactly what happened. We lost all contact after a brief emergency transmission that took hours to reach Earth."

  "Yes, my mother told me what happened to the ship. My father and his warriors took all the weapons and her with a few other females. They left the human males on the ship. Then they blew it up."

  Avery gasped in horror. "That is awful. That is sad. It is so brutal,"
she said, pulling away from me. I could see that she was seeing the Kalazaron side of me. The same Kalazaron side that blew up the human males as we thought of them as useless.

  "My mother hated my father for it for a very long time. Then eventually, they fell in love. It is a complicated story. But I have been a hybrid all my life and it has not been easy for me. I am accepted amongst the rebel Kalazaron, but I am always seen as weaker because I am half human. It has plagued me. Because of this, I had vowed to myself that I would never fall in love with a human female. That I would never have an offspring with a human female that would be more human than Kalazaron. Then the offspring would have to go through everything that I went through.”

  “My god, Ankon. This is so hard for me to hear. What can I do with myself?” she said as she began to shake with sorrow. I could not take it anymore. I pulled her into my arms. I kissed her shaking lips. I pressed my hands against her lower back and pulled her toward me. Damn, what was I doing to this human? I wanted her. I wanted her even against the vow that I had made to myself never to fall for a human female. But I was gone. I was a captured Kalazaron and she had me, this smart human female named Avery Jones.
