BURK POV"Don't make this harder than it needs to be," Pagin says quietly so Krystal can't hear, and I growl."My mate will not be going anywhere," I snarl, and the other males tense while moving forward.The male from Makskin places his hand on the hilt of his knife, and I feel my body expand as my muscles prepare themselves."Princess Zor's allegation will be verified," he states, and I shift into a defensive stance."My. Mate. Will. Not. Be. Going. Anywhere. With. You," I snap, and he smirks just as Hij growls from behind me."I will go under two conditions," Krystal says loudly from behind me, and I spin around to find Hij trying to reposition her behind him in a respectful way.She dodges his attempt, and he stops trying to move her. She looks at me for a moment, and I realize her fear is no longer visible. Her eyes look as angry as I feel. She looks strong. Like a soldier prepared for battle and my anger lessens. My mind goes to her past, and my heart swells. My mate is a fighte

BURK POV My eyes scan Garlof's face again as we wait for the results on our females. His face appears calm, but the slight tick in his eyebrow lets me know he is as anxious as I am. Annoyance and anger fill my mind as I continue to stare. He doesn't glance back at me even though he is fully aware of my gaze. His female is causing all of this because I wouldn't fight for her. She let my rejection hurt her pride, and now my new life is being interrupted. He has to know these things. His mind is as sharp as mine is. "It shouldn't be much longer," Pagin says, and I look towards his tranquil features. Garlof shifts in his seat in my peripheral vision, and my jaw clenches slightly. "What will happen if the results prove that a female lied," Garlof asks, and Pagin glances at me before the male Makskin smirks. "The human would be killed. Earth is under our protection due to the Harvest treaty. They do not send soldiers, so their harvested females are expected to follow every g

Silence falls around Zor and me as the other females leave the room. Tension begins to charge the air around us, so I look away from her still body. I don't want anything to do with her, and now that I have proven I am a virgin, she should leave me alone. Burk and I will get to leave Kea for the second time today. She will have to face the consequences of her actions. If she had just let me enjoy my life no one had to know about her. She could have been happy with Garlof. "I was supposed to mate with the best. Commander Burk is gold status, and he was supposed to be mine...How did you lure him away from me so quickly," Zor suddenly demands, and I turn my head back to find her staring at me carefully. "I didn't lure him. I didn't do anything special. I was just me," I reply, and she shakes her head. She looks at the door as if expecting someone to be there, and I let my eyes travel over her perfect body. She could have anyone is wants, but she doesn't base what she wants on

ZOR POV"You look green, human," I whisper harshly as Krystal and the other humans sit down. She reluctantly turns her head my way, and I see dread pass over her features. The feeling is mutual, human. She looks at me for only a moment before turning to watch the Glortinons walk across the field. As she watches, her eyes shift to sadness, and curiosity spikes within me. What does she have to be sad about? She was saved from her fate on her awful planet. She didn't do anything to deserve her standing. None of the human females did. She looks at her comrade, and they take each other's hands. A sense of comfort passes over both females, and I instantly grow jealous and resentful. Yor was always my comfort when my father told me no or forced me to do something I didn't want to do. He was my best friend until we turned eighteen, and he was immediately sent away for training. Krystal glances at me smugly and smirks as if she senses my pain. Hate nearly swallows me within a sing

I wish I had some ibuprofen. My jaw feels like it is broken. I know the punctures on my arm are deep, and they hurt, but they are nothing compared to the pounding pain in my face. When we transported an hour ago, my adrenaline was still pretty high, so my pain was tolerable. But with every passing minute, I can feel the swelling in my cheek getting worse."No moving, human. Remain silent," the freakishly tall alien growls as he drops me on a stone floor covered in trash and filth. I nod fearfully while glancing around. This is the first building we have come to. When we transported, we were outside in the middle of a field. But it wasnt like any field I had ever been in. It was dead silent, and the air seemed frozen around us even though it was warm. While the other two Gafrops continue walking out of the room with a now silent Zor, the hateful beast with a mean slap doesn't leave. He approaches a black panel of buttons and begins to type like a mad man. I can't help but watch his

BURK POV Stiff air and motionless land surround us as we move through the outskirts of Gafrops' abandoned cities. My ears are primed for an attack, but no sound can be heard for miles. "Looks like the Gafrops are close to losing this war," Nole says lowly, and I nod while glancing towards an abandoned store. We haven't spotted a living soul in ten miles. Not even an animal. "They probably centralized their population in a well-protected area. But, the lack of wildlife is telling," I reply, and Modok grunts in agreement. A beep comes through my bracelet, and our feet halt instantly. The scanner's report comes through, and Krystal's DNA signature gives me instant relief. She is here!"Seventy...They underestimate us," Nole says as he reads the numbers, and Modok chuckles. "They will transport out. They aren't idiots. We need to move now! Modok set location. We transport to her now. Nole notify Garlof and his men. The scanner will spook them into a new hiding place. We hav

Lights and bright colors flow into view as my eyelids flutter open to reveal a familiar face. "Krystal, my dear friend. I am so happy you are okay," Zalu says as she smiles down at me. I smile at her, and the lack of pain in my jaw surprises me until I realize I am in the same room I came to cure my incurable cancer. "Where's Burk? Is he okay," I ask, and she nods while helping me into a sitting position. "He is still on Gafrop. Garlof was able to transport his entire battle group onto the planet, which created access for the entire allied force. The Gafrops are forfeiting as we speak. The Jahns and Muysocks have cut ties with them. Burk brought you to me a few minutes ago. He made sure I could heal you and then went back. He is making sure his men leave the planet unscathed. I, of course, healed your body. You will be fine now," Zalu explains, and I nod as relief flows through me. "Was the allied force unable to land on that planet before," I ask after a few seconds,

BURK POV "Krystal," I roar, worried, and my voice thunders through the practically empty building. Zalu pops out of a room, looking alarmed until her eyes spot me. "Where's my mate," I demand in a rather harsh tone, and the female straightens her back in response. "She is meeting with the high council, Commander. She asked me to arrange it. She should be returning promptly," Zalu explains in a rushed voice, and I nod once to show I understand. I don't trust my voice to be respectful enough to answer her with words. My adrenaline has not yet receded from battle, and a female like Zalu deserves my respect. "Would you like something to drink while you wait," Zalu asks just as the all too familiar sound of a transport meets our ears. I move past her without answering, eager to see my mate, and she follows. When I step into the medical room, relief flows through every cell of my body. My mate looks beautiful, healed, and whole even though her gown has been ruined and her
