He looked at me confused. “I don’t understand your meaning, Miranda.”
“You know that I held a prominent position on Earth. You know that requires some form of intelligence. You were able to trick me. You captured me and my team. I bow to your intelligence. You are clearly a worthy leader,” I said stroking his ego before my request. He smiled in response.
“Go on,” he said.
“I want to use my intelligence against the rebels. I want to join the fight. I want to be active. Clearly, I do not hold a candle to your soldiers. I am not a battlefield fighter, but I am a fighter of intelligence. I want to help. I want to take down the rebel scum that took my child from me. Use my intelligence, Leader Rangellis. I promise to do all that I can to defeat the rebels. I want to help you bring them to their knees. I do not know of what assistance I can be yet, but once I know how the Waysaw handles the rebels, I can offer my expertise. I know I can help if you will just give me a chance.”
“You want to help us bring down the rebels?” he arched a brow at me.
“Yes, exactly. How many human intelligence officers do you have working with your government?”
“None, for obvious reasons. We cannot have information leaking back to the humans on Earth,” he said.
“I understand that. All of my work can be monitored if you wish. I have no interest in Earth anymore. Anvin is my home. I belong here. I am owned by the Zenkian soldier Evlon. I want to be part of the fight. I want to help defend my new home. I want to defeat the enemy that took my child from me. I will not stop until they are all eliminated.
He smiled. He seemed pleased with my request. Then he said, “It looks like I did a very efficient job in converting you into one of us. I will consider this if you will consider my proposal,” he said.
“What is that?”
“I will allow you to be in the government structure system and help us to defeat the rebels in exchange for your information of all things humans. And by that, I mean everything you know of the military defenses against us and of your own department. Real information that we can use,” he said.
I was quiet. He was asking a lot of me. He was asking me to betray my own race and planet. But in everyone’s eyes, I had already betrayed the humans. I thought about my unborn child and how it was taken from me. A fire lit inside of me.
“Deal,” I said. “When do I start?”
He smiled and clasped his hands together. Clearly, he was very impressed with his work in converting me. I didn’t consider myself converted. I considered myself a woman scorned and I was going to do whatever it took to bring down the rebels. I would even betray my own race for it. I considered it a successful meeting.
A year later, I stood on the sidelines of the war game complex. This was the real deal. This was not a practice. This was the war games we had been waiting for. Evlon was on the field ready to fight against another Zenkian soldier. They were the only two left after the mass battles, and now they would fight for the ultimate victory title.
I stood there feeling very nervous as the two soldiers faced each other warming up and getting ready for the game to begin.
The crowd was going crazy.
“Don’t worry, Miranda. Evlon is going to win. He is in great shape and the best soldier in Waysaw” Tormunt said to me.
“You are right. He is going to win. No one can beat him. Not even you, Tormunt,” I said to him. He groaned in response to my adequate call on his skills.
“Yeah, well anxiety is not good for a pregnant human like you. You humans are so fragile. So do not be anxious for your Zenkian soldier. This fun, remember?” he said looking at my belly.
I took a deep breath and smiled. Tormunt was right. I needed to calm myself down and not get overworked. I was not going to lose this child this time. It took a lot for Evlon and I to get back to a place where we could welcome another child. Now it had happened, and I was being extra cautious. I laughed just to make myself not be so nervous.
I watched as Evlon lined up against the other soldier. The crowd suddenly calmed down and grew silent. Everyone was aware that it was about to begin. I took another deep breath and bit my lower lip. This is just for fun; this is just for fun, I repeated in my head.
The whistle blew. Evlon screamed and charged at the other soldier. Boom! A blow with his shield. Clang! His sword swooped through the air, hitting the soldier’s shield. The two went at it, jabbing and slicing at each other, but they were both very skilled. I felt like Evlon was holding back. I think he was doing it on purpose and I smiled to think that he was so skilled that he was holding back simply to give the crowd something to watch. The fight went on for almost fifteen minutes. It was a good show, and the crowd was loving it. Then I could tell that Evlon had enough. He did a quick maneuver and used his shield to knock the soldier off his feet then he aimed his sword at the soldier and plunged it through him. I gasped. I had never seen a real war game. The Zenkians fought to the death. I thought it was a waste of a good soldier, but they thought otherwise. The crowd cheered. I had to look away from the dead soldier. I looked at Evlon. He threw his arms up in victory. The crowd went wild for him.
Leader Rangellis got up on the platform at the end of the field and shouted into the microphone. “Evlon has won the war games for the sixth time in a row! He has broken the previous record held by a warrior that had five wins in a row! This is what a Zenkian Waysaw can do! We are invincible!” he shouted.
The crowd went wild again, and Evlon was hoisted on the shoulders of soldiers as they paraded him around. I was so very proud of him, and glad that he was not dead.
The soldiers set Evlon down on his feet. He ran directly over to me.
“You did it! I am so happy for you! You did it!” I shouted.
He kissed me. Everyone cheered.
We had done it. Evlon and I got through the most trying time in both of our lives as I had to endure the brutal end to my Earth peace mission and the loss of my team and child. He had to endure falling in love with a human and breaking a record. Now we were starting a life together.
“Congratulations, Evlon!” Leader Rangellis said patting him on the back.
“Thank you, Leader Rangellis!” Evlon said.
“You have made the Waysaw Renkians and your government very proud to have you as a soldier here and our second in command. You have made me proud,” he said.
The leader’s words made me proud. Yes, he was a snake, but he had been a very intelligent snake that had even got the better of me. There was something to admire about that. This was a moment of happiness for both Evlon and me.
As Evlon moved away from me, getting more congratulations and being passed around like a trophy, I looked around the war game complex and had an idea.
“Leader Rangellis, I do wonder…”
“Yes, Miranda?” he asked.
“Why the blue rebels of Grantsion are not invited to the war games? It would make more sense to fight against them instead of one of our own. That poor soldier out there could have lost his life in battle and been a great asset to us instead of losing in this game,” I said.
“The rebels would never come here. They would think we were tricking them,” he said.
“And we would be. We would lure them here under the false pretense of a temporary truce in order for us to have real war games against the regions of Anvin. We would play it out to the very end; then we would kill them all,” I said, looking at him with complete seriousness.
He looked at me surprised. “That is a devious plan of trickery,” he said.
“I learned from the best. You practiced on me and my team. This would be the same, only much larger. I believe you could pull it off and of course, I would help, and my master, Evlon.”
“I like the way you think. It is something to be considered. I will bring it up to the rest of the government in consideration for next year’s war games,” he smiled. “I think you have completed your full conversion into a ruthless Waysaw Zenkian,” he said.
> “Yes, I have a Waysaw inside of me,” I said putting my hands on my belly. “I must think of his safety. The rebels are a threat to him,” I said.
“What is my slave saying that you are smiling so?” Evlon said, coming over to us.
“She has the cleverest plan to defeat the rebels. Indeed, one so clever I have never even thought of it myself. And it just might work,” Leader Rangellis said.
“Yes, she is a clever slave,” Evlon looked at me seductively.
“And you are a great soldier. You are the victor of the war games,” I said.
“Then let us celebrate,” Evlon said.
“Yes, let the celebrations begin!” Leader Rangellis put his hands in the air and then drums began to beat wildly. I was surprised by it. The entire crowd came onto the field. Rangellis wandered off into the crowd.
Evlon looked at me. “I think you might be in danger of taking over this entire planet one day.”
“No, you are second in command. You will be first in command one day. I will see to it,” I whispered to him.
He moaned in my ear. “You don’t plan; you plot,” he said.
“Yes, and I and our child will be at your side, Leader Evlon,” I whispered.
He moaned. He was ready. “I like where your mind goes.”
“Yes, together we will conquer,” I said. He kissed me hard and fast. I wanted control of all of this and Evlon was going to get me there.
I kissed him back and put my arms around him. For now, we would celebrate this war game victory, but there would be many more to come for us.

CHAPTER ONE
AMELIA SANDERS
The feeling of falling out of the sky was the same on an alien planet as it was on Earth. The thick gray smoke from the hole in the side of the small transport spaceship was quickly filling the cabin as it plummeted. The sound of wind rushing by outside of the ship was making a whistling sound. It was a frightful sound.
“We’ve been hit! We are going to hit the water!” I heard the deep male voice shout from the front of the spaceship.
Smash! The transport I was in a crashed into the ocean. It rocked me out of my seat.
“What is happening?!” I shouted.
“We are all going to die!” another human female shouted as she slid across the path between seats on the small space ship transport. Her name was Michelle, and we had become friends over the course of the journey.
“They shot us out of the sky!” I heard a Draqua warrior shout. They were aliens, and they had abducted us from Earth.
“It is the opposition!” another warrior shouted.
“We have to abandon before the ship floods!”
“What about the human females? They cannot swim the way that we can,” a warrior shouted as he came to the back of the ship. Water was rushing in through a hole blown into the side of the ship.
“They are going to have to swim!”
“Listen up! As soon as this hatch is opened, water is going to rush in. We will pull you and push you out of the hatch on the other side of the ship. You will be hitting deep ocean water. The transport is sinking fast. As soon as you are in the water, swim up as fast as you can!” the warrior shouted at us.
“No! I can’t do that! I want to go home!” a human female with blonde hair said to them in a panic. Her name was Stephanie.
“That has never been a choice. We will be right behind you,” the warrior said. Then in a flash, they both shifted into a half-dragon man. They were Draqua, and the Draqua were alien dragon shifters. It stunned me to see it.
“Open the hatch!” he shouted.
Water rushed in, and the three women that were with me began to scream in panic. I stayed as calm as I could, ready to use all my strength to swim in the vast ocean on the alien planet that we were on.
One warrior moved to the other side of the ship and opened the hatch. I could feel the pressure stabilizing, and water did not rush in as fast as before.
“Go! Go!” he shouted as he gestured toward the hatch he stood next to. The other women were in panic, refusing to go. But I was ready to do whatever was necessary to survive. I quickly moved through the knee-deep water to the hatch. I nodded to him, and he pushed me into the water. I quickly moved my limbs.
The water was crystal clear and beautiful. I could see an enormous amount of sea life in various vibrant colors. It was like diving in the Caribbean. I swam up and kicked as hard as I could toward the sunlit surface.
I did not know how I found myself in such a situation. Only a month before I was simply a secretary in New York City. I had a very boring life where I would do the same thing day in and day out. My boss was a very attractive millionaire in the real estate business. He had lots of women coming and going, but he never looked at me. I was too plain with my red hair in a bun and soft freckles on my cheeks. It bothered me beyond belief that such a womanizer didn’t think I was his type. I went to work, had my simple chicken salad for lunch, and then went home for a frozen microwave dinner with a glass of wine. It was the same thing day in and day out.
“There she is,” the secretary named Shannon said when I walked into the first floor of the skyscraper building in the middle of Manhattan. She was whispering to another girl, and they laughed as I walked by.
“Amelia! How is Mr. Drake today? Is he very busy?” she asked with a big smile.
“Yes, his schedule is full, as always,” I said to them, trying not to stop for a conversation.
Shannon looked at the other girl and said, “That is strange. I wonder why he asked me to come up on my lunch break then?” she giggled.
“I am not sure. That is a question for Mr. Drake,” I said in my most official tone. I continued walking towards the elevators. I could still hear the women whispering.
“Why does she dress like that? She looks like a librarian,” one of them said.
“If I worked directly for Mr. Drake, I would dress like a sexy librarian every day,” the other said.
“Yes, you already dressed like a slut and he has noticed. But that was what you wanted. You got what you wanted; he invited you up to his office, didn’t he?”
“Yes, but he invited you a month ago. He took way too long.” Finally, the elevator door opened and I was relieved to get into the elevator car.
I walked into the busy office and made my way to the corner where Mr. Drake had his private office. I always came in an hour before him to set things up for him and make sure that his coffee was ready. When he finally came in, he didn’t even look at me.
“Amelia. I need those files that I asked you for yesterday,” he said rushing in.
“Yes, I will bring them to you right away,” I said as I moved to my desk and then walked into his office. He was sitting in his chair. I decided that I would test what the women were talking about. I knew that my boss was a dirty womanizer. He was very filthy and would stick his cock into a hole in a tree if he could.
But he never ever tried anything with me. He never tried to slide by me and rub his body on me. He never tried anything at all yet he had tried or succeeded with every single secretary in the building, even those that did not work for his company. So what was wrong with me? Was it simply because I was not being sexy in front of him? So I decided to try something. I carried the files to him and then dropped them.
“Oh, silly me. Let me get those,” I said as I bent over putting my ass right in his line of vision. I took my time and bent over as sexy as I could in my pencil skirt.
“Hurry up. I need those,” he said in a stern voice. I picked them up and turned to him. He was not staring at me like I thought he would be. He was shuffling papers and beginning to make a phone call. I si
ghed. If a womanizer rejected me, then there was no hope for any other male wanting me.
“Amelia,” he said as I was walking out of his office. Maybe he had a change of heart. Maybe he was turned on by my display.
“Cancel my lunch meeting. Something else has come up,” he said.
“Yes, Mr. Drake,” I said knowing exactly what was coming up for lunch: that slut Shannon.
“And go ahead and take an extra long lunch yourself. I will need a good hour and a half,” he said.
“That much time?” I said, asking about his stamina without even realizing it. I quickly corrected myself.
“I mean. That much time; thank you for that much time for lunch. I will take an hour and a half,” I said with a smile and then walked out.
“Strange, strange, strange,” I heard Mr. Drake whisper to himself. I was completely annoyed. Not only was he not attracted to me, but he also thought that I was a weirdo. Perfect. As if things couldn’t get any worse, when I finally did return from lunch, he was not finished with his.
“Yes! Yes! Fuck me harder,” I heard Shannon’s voice say from his office. My eyes grew wide. I could hear the crash of things falling off of his desk. I had never heard any sex like that before. I definitely have not had sex like that myself. I envied it. For once in my life, I wanted a man that I found attractive to take me like that. I wanted to be ravaged like that. My life was so boring and void of any passion. How did it get like this?
So, since I was sick of the same routine and being mistreated at work, I had decided to treat myself to a little nature and get out of the city. I went to upstate New York, and that was when it happened. That was when alien warriors that could shift into dragon form abducted me.
I was on a hike in the pine forest by myself in Upstate New York. The pine trees towered high over me. It was beautiful and peaceful. I was alone, or so I thought.
I heard what sounded like a low hum coming from above me. I looked up and saw a shiny vehicle landing in a clearing.
