Dawn
I have only two options: stay on Earth and die, or volunteer for the Alien Trade and bear the offspring of the Kharoi.
The choice is simple. I’m just not prepared for my designated partner, Commander Asterion.
Cold. Controlling. Unyielding.
And yet, beneath his discipline, he makes me feel seen—cared for—almost cherished… until he reminds me of the truth. To the Kharoi, humans are pets, not mates.
When he releases me, I think I can start over.
I’m wrong.
Asterion made enemies among my own kind, and now I’ve become their leverage.
Asterion
My species’ arrogance nearly destroyed us. Now the survival of the Kharoi rests on the one race I despise most: the deceitful, emotional, greedy humans.
As commander, the first human volunteer for the Alien Trade belongs to me. I vowed I'd never betray the memory of my lost mate, and Dawn should be nothing more than duty, but she's an anomaly. Her tears are not a ploy. Her emotions are undeniably real. She is a disruptive force, tearing down the walls around my heart.
Releasing her is the only way to stop myself before I ruin us both.
I am a fool. I underestimated the depth of human treachery.
Now Dawn is trapped in a lethal power struggle, and when I reclaim her, there will be no more restraint. No more denial.
This time, I will not let her go—even if claiming her fully costs us everything.
This is a dark, standalone novella, HEA, and it's meant for a mature public.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
