C.L. Scholey - Zuri's Zargonnii Warrior (Unearthly World # 2) Read Online Free PDF Page A

mercenary warriors had been warned by the beings of the planet the humans were harmless but seemed to attract too much danger. Kobe and the other warrior mercenaries were well aware of Tonans and the deadly Gorgano who were making it their mission to eradicate all humans. Kobe and the Zargonnii warriors had no intention of killing the humans; they were here to extract them.
    The little female ran as though she were being chased by death. The idea was amusing. On Kobe’s planet, females were huge and somewhat deadly. Most females were eight feet in height or larger. Wincing, he reminded himself he was considered dainty by many Zargonnii females, standing at only six foot seven when not in battle mode. The paltry thing trying to escape from him tripped, fell face first onto the ground, groaned and rolled over. Her face to the sky, Kobe went and stood over her filled with curiosity. Instantly, he knew she could see him. Humans appeared to have limited sighting in the dark.
    Interesting.
    She looked even smaller up close. It’s almost bald. The images were true, except this female sported no war paint. Her tiny ear lobes had not been wounded—a good sign. There was a long patch of hair covering her head; it haloed her face and neck. The shade a few colors darker than his. Zargonnii females were covered in fine white hair with thick skin and long flowing white hair almost to their knees. The human female had no claws, no spaces between her teeth for expansion. She bore no wrinkles, so it was obvious she couldn’t grow while battling. The 2BKs , occupants of the planet the humans were on, were right, this little bit of fluff had to be harmless. There would be no need to fight the little female to determine who the dominant was. One swipe of his clawed hand and she would be history.
    Kobe took a good look at the female, wondering why other creatures were trying to kill her and the other remaining humans. It was his understanding a Tonan had come and slaughtered some of the humans until the planet’s beings put a stop to it. Citun had gone into more detail explaining to his crew why he didn’t want the females to fall into Tonan hands. The Tonans had their own agenda with human females, so Kobe could only hazard a guess the Tonan had wiped out the males. They wanted female humans solely for the purpose of annoying the Castian warriors—Tonan enemies. Castian warriors coveted human females—theirs had been murdered with poisoned water over four hundred years ago by the Tonans.
    The Gorgano had followed close on the Tonan’s heels to this planet which resulted in the death of two of the planet’s beings. Normally, Kobe and the other Zargonnii didn’t deal with 2BKs. Their language made no sense to the Zargonnii. All communication was done through computer translation. As mercenaries, the Zargonnii normally traded for their services. It was decided the humans would be enough payment, especially if they were female. The 2BKs had no idea of the humans’ sex. They had been astounded the Tonan could tell the sexes apart on sight. None of the males the Tonan killed were even close to his size. Most Tonans and Castians were six-foot-four, puny compared to a Zargonnii, but when shielded, they were formidable warriors.
    The planet’s beings had limited knowledge there was more than one species besides the Zargonnii that had different sexes except the Castians and Tonans. They were surprised any creature would wage war on one specific sex. First the Tonans had killed only females, now only males. The idea was confusing to the normally gentle beings. The creatures of this world did not stray far from home.
    The female on the ground rolled over and began crawling away, sliding along on her belly, close to the ground in an effort to escape. Kobe stepped on part of her clothing, trapping her. He squatted down beside her and rolled her back to look into her face. The female was crying again; it was an odd sight. Kobe knew what tears were,
