An Alpha Alien’s Eighth Christmas

Jolene’s husband had died, and it had been an awful illness. Was it wrong to say that it was a relief for him to finally be at peace? She felt guilty, but even more so when the chief pushed her to accept another partner. There was no real choice but to agree or leave. With two children to support she really needed to stay. Hopefully, this guy would not expect any benefits from her.
Morely was a good guy so he hoped that she would get along well with him. He thought this might be just a job and that no romance would flourish.Mo What if he didn't have that kind of interest in her but she had that interest in him? The moment he met her, he wanted her to be his. Her cold demeanor didn't give him much hope that he was Majuri, and they usually got what they wanted.
Could love grow? He certainly hopes so, but it is clear that she will fight it.
