let him see the rage in my eyes. “You will have your answers. I will return, Agent Smith. And when I do, if you have hurt one hair on my father’s head, I’ll kill you myself.”
“Not if I find him first.” Destiny pulled her gun from one of the mystery pockets on her leather pants, only to have the giant next to her pluck it from her hands as if taking candy from a baby. She just grinned up at him, not a hint of apology in her eyes. “Sorry about that.”
“Earth females,” he said, tucking the gun away, far away, from my bloodthirsty sister. Destiny wasn’t normally like this. In fact, she was a big softie. But hearing our mother’s screams this morning had flipped a switch in all of us.
For years, Mother had told us stories of her home world, of the ancients who had helped her people, bestowed a royal necklace of magical stones upon her ancestors to help our bloodline rule. A citadel only those of royal lineage could enter. Of the attempted coup forcing her to flee, the death of my biological father, the king. How she’d come to Earth and met Adam, fallen in love, married him. Gave birth to Faith and Destiny. But her daughters—all three of us—had never belonged here, on Earth. She’d made that clear since the day we could understand language. In fact, she’d insisted we learn to speak Aleran from her. We weren’t completely fluent, and who knew what had gone on there over the last twenty-seven years, but we’d learned everything we could. She’d said our time would come to return to Alera. And now, here we were, whether we liked it or not.
We were royal. We were from an ancient Aleran bloodline. Princesses. Mom hadn’t been taken by some idiot home invaders on Earth. The space ship in our front yard proved that. She’d been taken by someone from Alera, from home.
Why now? She’d been pregnant with me when she left...twenty-seven years ago. That was a long time for a queen to be in exile.
While we’d lived on Earth our entire lives, it was time for us to return. The people of Alera weren’t going to know what hit them when the Jones sisters arrived to find their mother, to save their queen.
It was time to go to our home world and kick some serious ass.
