A Monster's Light (Kadrixan Mates #5)

I checked the security system one last time before taking to the air to give the area a final once-over. This was one of four hidden emergency entrances to the stronghold. Nova Vita knew about the main one since they’d delivered the females for our yearly rut there.

That one was large enough to drive transports and shuttles into, and led to an opulent meeting room we’d used whenever we had to meet with Nova Vita representatives. It was the only part of the stronghold we’d allow them to see. They didn’t know that section was separated from the main fortress by a long corridor that could be sealed off at either end and flooded.

There was also the exit out to the valley, which we often used since we encouraged warriors and human females who lived with us to spend time outdoors. Both species naturally produced vitamin D through exposure to sunlight. That entrance was well protected since it was the meeting junction between all six of our hidden warships.

Then there were the four hidden exits. Like the main entrance, they were protected by long corridors that could be sealed off and flooded. They weren’t in any of the maps we’d distributed to the human women living here either. They were there for absolute emergencies, but the goal was never to use them at all.
