Kor, using his people's advanced technology, teleported onto the pirate ship with them none the wiser. They'd messed with the wrong Xamian. Alphie had managed to locate a schematic for the stolen vessel, and Kor had memorized it. He'd arrived in an obscure part of the engine room that he doubted they manned. On silent feet, he edged out around the ship's energy core, disappointed to find the room clear.
Kor had been angry since Diana's abduction, and he really wanted to hurt something to help ease some of his temper. Alphie thankfully hadn't tried to talk him out of this insane rescue attempt. For one, he knew what Kor's answer would have been-no. Besides, Alphie was well aware of Kor's training in the guard. After all, it was his high rank and commendations that had made him eligible for a mate in the first place. Only the best were rewarded.
