The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 75

Three small starships weaved through the vast expanse of interstellar space, locked in a chaotic chase that left streaks of dazzling light in their wake.

Meanwhile, the remaining starships closed in, encircling the rebels. The ones who had just cleared a path for Sean. It was clear they wouldn't be allowed to escape alongside him.

"Ana, keep that motion sickness remedy close. I'm about to pull some maneuvers," Finlay said, his focus sharpening in the face of combat.

Aware of Analise's susceptibility to space travel sickness, he had been keeping the ship's speed as low as possible.

Eyes fixed on the control panel, Analise traced the cluster of red dots and pointed to a specific location. "There."

"This is their most likely escape route. The Ironhorn Alliance is right behind us.

"I'll call Karl on the interstellar comms. Finally, take the ship to this position.

"They're not likely to escape toward the Ironhorn Alliance, so we just need to hold our ground and wait for Scott and the security forces to move in.

"Hopefully, Gideon doesn't go too crazy. He really would ram his ship if it came to that. Reckless doesn’t even begin to cover it."

Analise pinched the bridge of her nose and took a swig of Clarity Tonic.

Spending all day locked away doing research would drive anyone mad.

"Yeah! I was thinking the same thing about blocking them here too."

Finlay nodded, his long fingers pressing buttons on the control panel, incomprehensible to Analise.

As the starship sped forward, Analise quickly fought back her discomfort and contacted Karl via interstellar comms.

After ending the call, she added Gideon as a friend in her contacts.

With that done, Analise sat down in the seat next to Finlay, trying to adjust to the weightlessness and dizziness.

Just as she massaged her temples, another interstellar call came through. It was Gideon again.

This time, she didn't hesitate and answered immediately.

"Ana, be careful. Sean's small starship can cloak itself. Even my ship can't detect it."
