The general rolled to his side, pressing his hand against her belly and said something in the battle lingo Aria hadn't been able to learn yet.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"That if he knows better, he won't hurt the one I love the most."
And there it was. Aria looked at Ryden with her tired smile, but the general wasn't saying that merely to sweet talk her. He meant it. And Aria didn't regret leaving Ilotra for a moment.
Beyond the horizon, the sun set and she had no more worries at all.

ALIEN GENERAL'S BELOVED EXCERPT
Â
Every time, it got worse. And by worse, Lana thought grimly, more and more dangerous, both for her and her crew. She was playing with fire, going to see the hidden women herself, when she
knew
that she was under constant surveillance.
That bothered her, but it didn't change the facts. She was their captain and her responsibility to them didn't go away when it was uncomfortable or threatening.
Lana hated the sneaking, though.
Creeping around like a thief on her own ship, it wasn't only weird, it was humiliating.
Through the immense panels, she saw the Brion warship looming over the
Falcon
. There was no night and day in space, but Lana felt like the
Abysmal
brought darkness with it, cast a shadow over everything it touched.
She was nearing the cargo bay where the women were hiding when the walls of her ship started talking to her.
In a deep and calm voice that sent shivers down her spine, the darkness said: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Lana froze to the spot.
Not more than five feet ahead of her, there was an alcove, nothing more than a little corner. She'd assumed it was empty, but a figure stepped forward from the shadow, detaching itself from the cover of it. If she hadn't seen it happen with her own eyes, Lana would have thought it impossible. There was simply no room to hide, no convenient background to blend into.
Yet in the place where a moment ago there had been nothing, now stood a man.
Lana's heart skipped a beat.
She'd seen many Brion warriors in the past weeks, more than her share. More than she would have liked, of course, but this one... He was nothing like them.
Instead of the cold, silent emptiness that the captain had seen in the looks of General Worgen's men, this new one observed her with flashing, burning green eyes. Like a furnace, they raged with life, but Lana had no doubt he was capable of dealing out death as he saw fit. The warrior was even taller than Worgen, carrying confidence around him like a cloak. He was standing before her, seemingly relaxed, but Lana felt more overpowered than when she'd had a blade at her throat.
The warrior's wide shoulders and powerful arms, his immense bulk and the stance that spoke of years of training were the obvious reasons for that. But it was the devious, curious smile on his lips that scared her the most. He watched her from under the dark strands of his black hair, two long braids falling over his eyes.
He terrified Lana, but not only. The shiver that he'd sent down her spine had definitely not been a negative sensation. It was much more like a searing surge of lust at the sight of such a man.
The captain shook it off. For weeks, she'd resisted all Worgen's attempts to claim her, as brutal and uncaring as they were. She would
not
give in to this guy, even when one look from him did better than all of the horrible general's attempts.
"You are going to see your crew," the warrior said, his voice like a caress. "That is not wise."
Lana didn't answer. No matter how the guy had discovered her secret, she would not admit to it until no other options remained.
The man smirked, taking a step closer to her. Lana's breath caught and she would have dearly wished to believe it was out of fear.
"You should turn back, Captain," the man said, tilting his head a little to look at her.
"This is my ship," Lana said, noticing with irritation how her voice shook a bit. "Until your general decides to lock me up, I'll go where I want to."
The warrior looked at the
Abysmal
floating beside them, giving it a dark look.
"My general?" he asked. "I don't think so."
That pulled Lana's attention away from his perfect body, where it had reluctantly stayed for a long moment.
Carefully
, she thought.
Could he be an ally?
"I didn't think you Brions rebelled against your generals," she said carefully.
"We don't," the warrior said, turning his blazing eyes back to her. "Unless we mean to succeed them."
