Alien Reject

"She is a difficult creature, my tiny Kat. But I have never met with a creature I could not tame..."

Kat

I can't believe so many of my human friends have fallen in love with aliens. Sure, the Sea Sand warlords are strong and tall, and some might even say good-looking. I still think it's absolutely nuts to jump into a relationship with one of them. I will be avoiding all of that, thank you very much. That's what I keep trying to tell Galok, the arrogant, grinning warrior who refuses to leave me alone.

I can't figure out what his deal is. There are far more willing humans than me in our camp, and we aren't even supposed to be mates in the first place. Yet Galok still tries to woo me in his weird alien way. No matter how hard I push him away, he just comes springing back, his copper eyes glinting.

Maybe this guy just likes a challenge. Well, challenge accepted. I will never, ever fall in love with an alien.

That's a promise.

Galok

I do not need the Lavrika to tell me that Kat is meant to be my mate. She is mine, mate bond or not. Her striking blue eyes and angry mouth send fire through my veins. No other woman has captured my attention like her. Yet, that attention seems to bother her. This does not deter me. Every hiss, kick, and furious look she throws in my direction only makes me fall harder, only makes me more confident in my decision to pursue her.

She may be stubborn. But so am I. I will win her guarded human heart. No matter how long it takes.

That's a promise.
