General Azlo Bron is a Veruka weredragon from the planet of Tivoso. He has been sent by his king to distribute a computer virus among the isolated human villages that are hiding out from the Clenok cyborgs. This computer virus could be capable of bringing down the local cyborg army if it is done right.

When Azlo arrives at the secret village he finds an adversary, a hardcore female soldier named Sheila that is suspicious of his motives. She doesn’t believe that he is there to help the humans. She believes that he is hiding something. Azlo thinks this is ridiculous, until he falls ill to the Veruka plague known as the blackness. Now, he is hiding something from her.

Azlo carries a secret. He knows that the only cure for the blackness is mating with a human female. He must do it quickly or the illness will only get worse. But even though he wants Sheila, she is too cold to him to ever reciprocate his feelings and he’s running out of time to mate with a human. That’s when he sets his eyes on Crissy. She is more receptive to his advances and could save his life.

Sheila has always been the one to take action against the Clenok cyborgs. She is a good soldier and can lead the feeble remains of the army that lay in her isolated village. So when an alien arrives named Azlo Bron she does not trust his words. Being a good soldier means that you are suspicious of all strangers. But its hard when he looks at her the way that he does. Still, he is frustrating, dominating, and wants to have total control. She can’t stand him, until he is all that she can think about. But why is he suddenly paying attention to Crissy? She does nothin to lift a finger to heto help fight the cyborgs and could never make him happy.
