rules dictate we do not allow the bride off the ship on any planet or station that is not her final destination. I’m sorry.”
    “God. This trip sucks!”
    “I’m sorry you feel that way. Hopefully, we will be able to better accommodate you for the rest of your stay.”
    He bowed and backed away before, turning to the door. Sophia felt more agitated than she had since she was denied entry into the Academy. Her heart ached for a man she’d never met. And she was being thwarted from living the adventures she craved.
    She was so irritated she almost overlooked how awesome her rooms were and how amazing the view was outside her window. They drew closer to Draconia and came into its orbit.
    A space pod rocketed out from the hull of the ship and darted through space toward the massive planet below. She knew that it must be the brides on their way to their mates on Draconia. Their trip through space was done, but Sophia’s had just begun.

    O ver the next several months , Sophia’s belly began to grow. To alleviate the boredom and monotony aboard the ship, she spent most of her time near the cockpit, trying to convince the pilot to let her fly. Every time she asked, he laughed at her and told her he’d lose his job.
    Even though the pilot wouldn’t let her fly, he did let her hang around. She managed to learn everything she could about how to fly the vessel.
    “I’m going to fly this ship someday,” she told him. “You’ll see.”
    “I know, Sophia,” he said, humoring her. “You’ve told me a thousand times.”
    Medic Hanno came up through the hallway and met her in the open door to the cockpit where she was standing behind the pilot.
    “You should not be in here,” he said.
    “She’s fine,” the pilot said.
    “It isn’t safe to stand in the doorway. Think of the child,” he said, pulling her away from the cockpit.
    Sophia frowned, letting herself be walked down the hall. They took a turn around the corner and ended up at the door to her bedroom.
    “I’m fine,” she said as her door swished open.
    She wished that Hanno would leave her alone.
    “I need to scan the fetus’s vitals.”
    “You do that five times a day, aren’t you a little overzealous?”
    Sophia could tell something was going on. Hanno was more overprotective than usual lately. And the pilot had started to seem nervous.
    “You are our priority,” he said, “and this is the only thing I can do for you.”
    “Okay. Just doing your job. I get it…”
    She squinted at him, feeling like there was something he wasn’t telling her.
    “What’s going on?”
    He sighed. “I didn’t want to tell you this, but there has been talk of Mulgor in the sector we must pass through to get to Galaton.”
    “Then you have to let me learn to pilot the ship. We have to be prepared!” she said, rubbing her rounding tummy.
    “There’s no point in you getting worked up about it. There are still many months of travel ahead of us before we get to that sector.”
    “Does Elait know this?”
    “The princes know. The fire dragon’s bride already arrived, but the other brides weren’t found until later so are taking longer.”
    “Can’t we go around?”
    “We can’t go around and we can’t stop. The only way is forward.”
    “Sounds like a good reason to let me learn to pilot the bride ship. You never know when it could come in handy.”
    “Please stop asking to pilot the ship, Sophia. I cannot allow you to do that, for numerous reasons we’ve discussed already.”
    She grunted angrily and turned on her heel. Hanno really needed to take the stick out of his butt. She stood near the window and looked at the dwarf star passing outside in the milky distance. She’d had so many miraculous experiences over the last few months. Not the least of which was her quickening child.
    She loved the feel of its little butterfly wings fluttering inside her belly. It always reminded her that a piece of Elait was near her all the time. She still hadn’t
