My father watched me from the throne, waiting. I could see it in his eyes, the expectation that I would eventually lower my head, swallow my pride, and submit because he was the King and I was his son.

I drew a slow breath through my nose, forcing down the anger burning in my chest. “Go ahead,” I said. “Make him marry her.”

My mother’s head snapped up. Her lips parted, but no words came. My father’s jaw tightened.

I turned slightly, glancing at the armored man stand

    EVANDER'S POVA blast struck our starboard shield, and the command bridge shuddered. Red lights flooded the deck."Shield capacity at forty percent," the tactical AI announced.Beyond the viewport, the sky above the planet was a storm of laser fire and plasma trails. Three Kreedian warships hung in low orbit, hammering our forward fleet while the planetary batteries fired back from below.Odan had given me ten minutes. She hadn't waited for them."General!" Captain Moris called from the tactical console. "Odan's flagship is locking on. Heavy ionic torpedoes!""All auxiliary power to the forward barriers!" I gripped the command rail as another volley rocked the bridge. "Bring us parallel to her ship. Load the pulse cannons!""Two boarding pods launched!" the helm officer shouted. "They're heading for the lower flight deck!""Point-defense lasers on those pods. Nothing breaches this hull."Twin blue beams cut through the void and shattered the first pod. The second slipped past the firi

    Doctor Sue ran down the corridor, her white coat snapping behind her, and reached the ICU doors just as they slid open.Queen Elena was already there, her eyes red and wild. "Doctor! The machine is going crazy, and he's crying!" She seized Sue's arm, her voice shaking. "His whole body is trembling. He's having a nightmare, Sue. That's a good sign, isn't it? If he can react like this, he's still in there. He can wake up. He just needs a push!"Sue didn't answer. She pushed past her into the room.The heart monitor shrieked, its jagged spikes climbing fast. On the narrow bed, Theodore's head rolled slowly from side to side against the pillow. Tears slid from beneath his tightly shut eyelids and left wet tracks down his pale cheeks, and his hands trembled against the sheets.Sue was at his bedside in two strides. She swept a penlight across his eyes, then checked the monitor.Then a faint, raspy sound cut through the noise."My baby…" Theodore's lips twitched. His voice was barely a brea

  • Omega Hunted    A nightmare

    THEODORE'S POV The cold metal of the restraint chair pressed against my back. Bright lights shone overhead, and the familiar smell of antiseptic filled the room. Morton's laboratory. Leather straps held my wrists and ankles against the chair. My arms ached, and I could barely feel my fingers. Evander had come for me, he had carried me through the portal and promised we were going home. Had something gone wrong? Had Morton captured us again? I looked down, and my breath caught. My stomach was flat. I pressed my hands against my abdomen. The gown hung loosely around my waist. The weight of my pregnancy was gone, and I couldn't feel my baby moving anymore. "No..." I whispered, pulling frantically against the restraints. "Where's my baby?! Somebody answer me!" "You're making quite a lot of noise, Theodore." I froze. Dr. Morton stepped out from behind the supply racks, holding a data pad with his usual indifferent expression. "You're dead," I whispered. "Evander killed you." M

    Before Madina could respond, the nursery door slid open.Captain Moris stood in the doorway, his uniform still covered in dust from the mission. He glanced briefly at the King and Queen before turning to me."General, you're needed on the command deck. Immediately."I released Elena's shoulder and faced him. Moris rarely interrupted me without good reason, especially when he knew what had happened to Theodore."What is it?""Kreedian warships have been detected approaching the planet, sir."Madina turned sharply toward him. "Kreedians? Is it Princess Odan's fleet?""We believe so, Your Majesty.""How many ships?" I asked."An entire assault force. They emerged from warp near the outer relay about ten minutes ago. Our border patrols attempted to intercept them, but the fleet ignored their warnings. They're heading straight for the capital.""Have they attacked any of our patrols?""Not yet, sir. But their weapons systems are active, and they're refusing all requests to identify their i

    EVANDER'S POV The nursery wing was quiet when Doctor Sue led us down the hallway. Queen Elena walked beside me, occasionally wiping her eyes. She hadn't stopped crying since we left Theodore's room, although she'd insisted on coming to see the baby. We stopped outside a glass door at the end of the corridor. Through it, I could see an incubator surrounded by monitoring equipment. "He's right in here," Sue said, placing her palm against the scanner. The door slid open, and we followed her inside. Our son lay in the incubator, wrapped in a white blanket with his tiny fists curled beside his cheeks. He had a full head of dark hair, and his chest rose and fell steadily as he slept. Elena approached first, resting her hands against the glass. "Oh, look at him." Her lips trembled as she smiled. "Evander, he looks just like Theodore." I stepped beside her, staring at the little boy who had somehow survived everything his father had endured. Until now, I'd only heard Sue tell me that o

  • Omega Hunted    I'll keep talking

    EVANDER'S POV The doors slid shut behind us, leaving only the steady beeping of the heart monitor. Queen Elena stopped beside me, her hand flying to her mouth as she saw Theodore lying on the hospital bed. He looked nothing like the Theodore I knew. His face was pale, his body almost lost beneath the white sheets. An oxygen mask covered his nose and mouth, while tubes connected his arms to the machines beside him. His stomach, which had been swollen with our child only hours ago, was now covered by a blanket. "Oh, Theo..." Elena whispered. She hurried to his bedside and sank into the chair beside him, taking his hand between hers. For a moment, she simply stared at him, gently rubbing his fingers as though trying to warm them. "Theo, sweetheart, it's Mom." Her voice broke as she brought his hand to her cheek. "I'm here now. You're safe." She waited, watching his face for a response. When none came, she kissed his knuckles and began crying. "Please, baby. Open your eyes for me.
