Return of the Nine 2

By

Viola Grace

Chapter One

Tiera MacKenzie could not believe her ears. My friend is what?

She is the embodiment of the potential of our race. Signy has a talent for instantly absorbing and applying knowledge, and that is something most attractive to the Nine. The military representative was impatient. You must come with us.

He didn’t say a word, merely got in, put the vehicle in gear and drove to the launch port. The cars in front and behind did the same, forming a secure column.

When he stopped, she got out, grabbed her bag and marched to the shuttle with its walkway down.
