I survived an alien invasion, hiding with my friends in a restaurant freezer, while UFO's scoured the city, snatching up humans left and right.
But as soon as I step outside, a giant, alien male pounces on me and claims me as his mate. He's got horns, and hooves, and no matter what I say, he's not letting me go. All I wanted to do was get out of the freaking freezer. Claimed by the Alien Raider has a guaranteed Happily Ever After, no cheating and an alien hero you'll fall in love with. Aliens have taken my friends, so I've captured one in return.
I'm prepared to do anything to save my friends, even torture the big, horned male for information. But Dargo doesn't seem upset that I've knocked him out and tied him up. He won't stop grinning at me, and I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into... My friends think I have the perfect relationship. But every time they tease me about my happily-ever-after with my alien, I have to force a smile. They don't know how badly I messed up my mating, how much of what they see is just Adak and I barely holding things together.
I think I love my mate, but I've been wrong before. And when the sytos come for us, I might lose my chance to make it right. |
