Alien Mate Chapter 32
Diana didn't even register the splendor of the Oracle's palace, too intent on her mission, a purpose that the acolyte in front of her was impeding. "I want to speak to the Oracle," said Diana, tapping a foot impatiently. "Now." "But," said the flustered, veiled attendant, "you do not have an appointment. One cannot just show up and expect admittance. It's simply not done." "I don't care. I need to talk to her. She's the reason I'm on this goddamn planet and more miserable than I've ever been in my life. She owes it to me to at least speak to me." "Go home, and we will relay your request. If the Oracle chooses-" A voice interrupted. "She does choose," said the heavily veiled figure that appeared from seemingly nowhere. The acolyte gasped and dropped to the floor, head bowed. "You can take me to see her?" asked Diana. "I am her, child. Come and walk with me. Let us speak of what disturbs you so." The Oracle, a slight figure, gowned he
Alien Mate Chapter 33
Diana watched the newscast and cried. They'd found him. Kor was alive! He looked battered and worse for wear, but he lived, and that was all that mattered. Diana smirked as she imagined Kil's reaction to the news of Kor's resurrection. Diana answered the vid comm and saw a jubilant Ele'Anor. "He's alive," she squealed, and Diana, too overcome, just nodded, her own eyes wet. "Do you want me to pick you up on the way to the hospital?" "Yes, please." Diana switched off the screen and, smiling, dressed in her best karimi. She paced, waiting for Ele'Anor, elation bubbling through her. When she heard the knock, she flew to the door and opened it, expecting to see her mother-in-law, but Kil hulked menacingly on her step instead. Diana's smile faltered for a moment before she injected steel into her voice and spine. "You need to leave. Kor is back." "His return changes nothing. You will be mine." Diana felt a flutter of fear at his snarled words.
Alien Mate Chapter 34
Kor suffered the attentions of the healer, barely. He felt a desperate urge to see Diana. His mother came in a rush of veils, her face a mask of panic. "Kor!" "I'm fine, Mother. Now calm down. Where's Diana?" he said, peering around her robust form, looking for his mate. "I can see you're fine. It's Diana who's not. He's taken her, Kor." "What? Who's taken her?" Fear and anger gripped his heart in equal measures. "Kil. Lisa, your neighbor, saw him." "Where did they go?" asked Kor, ripping the tubes that were rehydrating him from his arms. "I don't know. Kil has somehow slipped the video relays." "I need some clothes," said Kor, realizing his state of undress when he pulled back the covers. His mother, ever one step ahead, opened her bag and dumped out pants and a shirt. "I don't have boots," she said, shrugging apologetically. Kor quickly dressed and cursed the fact that he didn't have an earpiece so he could contact Alp
Alien Mate Chapter 35
Anxiousness kept Diana tense as she paced the confines of the room Kil had locked her in. Judging by the less than pristine conditions around her, she seemed to be aboard an older style spacecraft, one with a door that shut manually and locked from the outside. Diana cursed and railed and kicked at the walls and door to no avail. The only person aboard was Kil the psycho. Diana sank to the floor and drew up her knees to lean her head on. Closing her eyes, she felt the tears leaking from the corners as she thought of Kor, who waited for her in the hospital. A wait that would never end. Not to mention a child he will never know, she thought, hugging her hardened tummy. "Psst," came a whisper. Diana brought her head up off her knees. "Who's there?" she whispered back, a tiny thread of hope in the sound. "It's Alphie. Lucky for you I've been keeping an eye on Kil here, and I made sure to hop on this ship before he shut down communications." "Can you stop
Alien Mate Chapter 36
Despite the buzzing of the comm unit on his hip, Kor ignored it. He had more important things to attend to. Whoever called would have to wait as he strode towards the docking bay that held his aircraft. But what if it was news of Diana? Not breaking his stride, he flipped the unit open and found a message from Alphie, of all people-er, machines. Kil has Diana on board craft S0014533. Charted course the third moon. Will attempt a low-level radiation beacon. Murderous heat lengthened his stride. In short order, Kor boarded his spacecraft, a place rife with memories of Diana. And in short order, he'd replace those with new ones, because he would get her back. Programming in the coordinates Alphie fed him, he prepared to follow his brother even if it wasn't he most rational choice. The smart thing would be to wait for his father to arrive with some of the clan warriors, but his brother had Diana. My mate. It didn't take much for him to just imagine how terrifi
Alien Mate Chapter 37
The craft landed with a thud that reverberated throughout the vessel. Diana looked around, desperate for something to defend herself with, but the stripped room she'd frantically searched earlier still contained a whole lot of nothing. Determined to at least try, though, she stood to the side of the door and waited, her palms slick with sweat. When Kil opened the door, Diana swung her clubbed hands at his head. To her surprise, he staggered, and she darted out the door. She took two steps before the steel vise grip of his hands closed around her arms and ribs, the strength in him enough to lift her off the floor. Diana wanted to scream in frustration, and she did when Kil chuckled maliciously in her ear. "There's nowhere to run, little Diana." Kil threw her hard over his shoulder, digging it painfully into her stomach. Diana cried, her silent tears running down her face, even as she pounded uselessly at his back. She heard the cranking of metal, followed by a hissing
Alien Mate Chapter 38: Epilogue
Seeing his mate, his beautiful moonflower Diana, burst into tears caused a fluttery sensation in Kor's chest. Why does she cry? What ailed her? "I thought you were uninjured," he exclaimed, scooping her up and jogging back to the spacecraft he and Alphie had appropriated. "I am," she sniffled. "Then why the tears?" he asked, confused, slowing his pace as he came into sight of the waiting vessel. "I'm so happy you're back," she sobbed. "I didn't think I'd ever see you again. And I was so scared and lonely." Kor listened as she recited all of the things he'd found himself feeling too. He didn't understand it. Were these emotions normal with one's mate? "I'm back now, and Kil's gone. You don't need to be afraid anymore." Kor walked up the ramp to the ship and carried Diana straight into the decontamination center. Stripping her soiled clothes from her, he ran his hands over her body to reassure himself that she was unmarked. Of course, even
Alien Mate Chapter 39: Alien Mate 2
Lex stood in the bland transport and decontamination room, his naked body tense with anticipation as he waited for the Alpha 350 to teleport him to his intended's location. When nothing happened, he shifted from one foot to another. "Computer, is there a problem?" "You know, we've been travelling together for a few days now. Could you not call me by something less formal? Your friend Kor calls me Alphie," said a voice from seemingly nowhere. "You are a machine," Lex stated for the umpteenth time. "An intelligent one," said the shipboard computer with a sigh. Lex clenched his teeth. The AI unit on this vessel-artificial intelligence, his ass, more like pain in his ass-kept acting inappropriately. A machine that wants to be my friend. He almost snorted at the incongruity. Lex had already noted in the service log the need to service this model. "Please cease with the idle chatter and transport me to my intended mate that I might bond with her and return her
