bathroom. She stuck out her tongue in disgust. The bathroom was probably just as meager as the rest of the cabin.
Her eyes landed on the rectangular panel with rows of buttons on it by the door. Communication panel.
She released the grip she had on the blanket. She pushed it to the side and slipped to the edge of the bed. The comb clanged to the floor. Moira could get it later.
Finding her courage, she stood, keeping a watchful eye on the door. He hadn’t said anything about the communication panel. He also hadn’t said anything about her leaving. She needed Yazmine and Moira to prepare her for the day. She also needed to speak with Nebin regarding the change in her plans.
As she walked, her bare feet padded across the cold, hard floor. She went straight to the door. She stood in front of it and waited for it to automatically open. It didn’t.
She focused her attention on the communication panel, looking for the button that would release her from her prison. She selected the emergency door release with a slender, manicured nail.
The door clicked but remained closed. She scrunched her brows. It should have opened. She stepped in front of it, but it didn’t budge.
Argh.
With balled fists, she slammed on the door. “Let me out of here!”
Turning on a “humph”, she rested her back on the door and eyed the communication panel again. If I can’t go to my aides, they’ll have to come to me.
She ran a finger over the buttons again.
Open-channel, just what I need. “Send Moira, Yazmine and Nebin to my personal quarters.”
Silence.
Sa’Mya pressed the button again. “ Humans , I require assistance from my aides. Send Moira, Yazmine and Nebin to my personal quarters immediately.” She released the button and waited.
A beep came from the intercom. “Princess. Do not, under any circumstances, give orders to my crew. Touch another button and I will tie you to the bed. Sit your ass down and wait for me to return.”
“Argh! Who is supposed to prepare me for the day?” she yelled. She released the button. “It’s just my luck. I’m captured by human idiots.”
These humans probably don’t know the first thing about royalty. It must be a human default.
Not only had Eva been disrespectful, she had threatened Sa’Mya’s life more than once.
What had she expected? From what she’d experienced, humans were disrespectful creatures. Disrespectful and simple-minded. Ancients , the humans hadn’t even been smart enough to protect their home planet.
What was the first objective to any security system? Defend your home planet against a Loconuist attack. Those scavenging fiends traveled from galaxy to galaxy, enslaving the inhabitants and stripping each planet of its natural resources. No one in this galaxy had dealt with a Loconuist attack in eons.
Stupid humans.
Sa’Mya stepped from the panel and surveyed the room again. What had that human done with all of her belongings?
She looked down at her gown and tsked, realizing it was ruined. That still didn’t stop her from trying to smooth out the wrinkles. She had slept in it and that human had left a little stain on it.
Yuck, male droppings.
She made her way to the port view and peered out as the light of stars and unknown planets whizzed by. She didn’t recognize the cluster of planets, which must be a good thing. She would be happy as long as they were nowhere near Laconia.
The door slid open. Her heart dropped to her stomach. Sa’Mya gathered the front of the gown and ran to bed. She slipped underneath the blanket and pulled it up to her chin. Her courage vanished just as quickly as it had come.
Kane entered with another male following. She recognized the second male from last night. Kane’s pants hung low on his waist while the formfitting shirt molded to all the lines of his lean, muscular body. He was quite appealing, even for a human. His light-colored hair reminded her of the pillowed feathers of a flose bird. His green eyes were the same
