“Jaemay, come to father Adee.” Adee opened his arms and Jae jumped into them.
The girls were gorgeous. They had the deepest brown eyes, and their hair was more like mine, brown but with a hint of purple. They had very light lavender-colored skin. I smiled as they moved into where Jae was only a moment ago, showering me with kisses as I played with the ends of their braids, tickling their cheeks. Jaka was magic with hair. The girls loved to have daddy Jaka do their hair every day. They were daddies’ girls for sure.
“Leah and Ruby, did you cause any trouble for Grandpa Apak?” They both giggled and ran over to give him a hug.
“The show will be on soon, girls. We need to let your mother get ready.” Jaim ushered them to where we had built a bit of a stage. We needed one since our show got big.
“How did today go?” Elle asked. She was the only one I had told that I was stopping birth control. The guys knew, but I didn’t tell them when, they were excited for us to have more kits. I kinda just wanted one more. But three more would be just as perfect. I loved being a mom. It was as if all the bad shit happened to me so that I could have the most beautiful children.
“It went good, really good…” She wiggled her brows at me. Carub kissed her on the cheek as he held their daughter. She was the only one of us, other than Jessica, to have one single baby, and she was adorable. The biggest eyes you had ever seen, and her fathers all adored her. Like, wrapped-around-their-fingers adored her. Elle looked down to her swollen belly and laughed.
“Not long yet and Cora will have playmates full time in her house.” I laughed because Elle was huge. She wouldn’t tell any of us what she was having, but from her size we knew it wasn’t just one this time around. I was kinda hoping it might be blue this time. I would love to see a half Zalli baby.
“Jess, how are you feeling?” She came in and hugged us both. She was also pregnant. She had taken the same birth control we all received from K’Tem’s brother. But her and Elle were the only two who had tried for more already. I think Luna was gonna flip when she found out I was trying again. We were the only two to have triplets in our clan.
“I feel like shit, but good. We are so excited. And Mason will make such a great big brother.”
I looked over to Mason. M’Mori and human mixed well. He had this amazing corn-colored hair, but he had the same scales as his father. The teeth too, unfortunately. But he was adorable and the teeth grew on you.
“Okay, let’s get this show on the road, girls.” I looked down and saw all our babies sitting so sweetly together on the grass in front of the stage.
Quinn’s twin girls, Aria and Ellie, were giggling about something Luna’s daughter Jade had said.
Luna’s boys, Oakley and Kai, were up to something with Brooklyn’s twin boys, Benji and Ander. I could see them waving to Jeralk and I pointed at him. He had become family since my kidnapping, and I loved him like a brother. His mouth dropped open and he shook his head as if to say, “I’m not scheming something.” But I knew better.
“Oh look, some of the girls have come tonight.” I looked out and saw some of the other clans. Ever since the move here, every clan had come to a truce of a sort. We all spoke to one another, even with the female Aashi. K’Tem’s brother found some fertility drugs and it had helped so much for the Aashi. They were all so grateful that they wanted us to all be friends and help each other.
“K’Tem had a call from his brother earlier,” Jessica started, and I was listening. He had been a great help to us over the years.
“What did he say?” Jessica made us come in real close.
“That he was trying to rescue a pink Zalli and a human female from the gladiator rings and bringing them here.” My mouth dropped open. Pink Zalli, Jeralk told me they were rare. Would he know this Zalli?
“Can you tell me more?” She nodded, but we would have to wait as K’Tem was now on the stage.

“Ladies and males, tonight I would like to introduce our Freedom Wolf singer dancers.
“Luna, Brooklyn, Quinn, Jessica, Elle, and Hadley.”

The End.
Afterword
Well… this is hard. That is the end of our wonderful six ladies who all gave us plenty of enjoyment with their sexy purple (and a few other) aliens.
Luna, Brooklyn, Quinn, Jessica, Elle and Hadley.
It’s been a journey, that’s for sure. I have loved every moment writing Brides of the Aashi and now it’s all over it’s a little sad. I will miss them all but I’m glad they all have their HEA.
As you saw at the end… there was a Pink Zalli found. That is a short story that will appear in the Alien Embrace Anthology.
Here is the link if you would like to check it out, comes out 16th August. Alien Embrace
Thank you everyone for coming along for the ride, it’s been wonderful to have your support.
I don’t want to say this is the end forever, but I don’t want to get your hopes up either. I have left room if I do come back. We have all those other girls. But also we worked out why the female Aashi had fertility issues, and now they are away from all of that they won’t need the humans as much. And they won’t need as many mates… obviously that will take a long time. But that ending to the whole six book series was there before I even wrote a word on Luna Touched. I knew how the whole thing was going to end and I never originally planned for more books.
It is kinda hard to write RH alien romance. That’s a LOT of aliens and names to remember. But it’s has been so much fun. WOW, so many “mates” and so many who haven’t found love yet. They will! I promise. Hehe
For the Apak fans out there. I’m sorry, but he is OLD and not interested in a mate. Hehe I know I got a lot of fan mail about him finding love and he has. He is the grandfather figure of the whole clan. They all consider him family, and a respected elder.
I know I shouldn’t have favourites when it comes to all my Aliens, so I don’t. Axoh and Vallyn (besties always), Daku and Zijur. Sako, Rion, Makee, Evzyn and Tiji (No stabby.) Eren, Tyee, Nvaa, Zezii and Ryven (Such a cheeky bad boy). K’Tem, Tomlee and Koh (the sweetest.) Marin, Zurcov, Sanza and Carub (I just wanna hug him.) Vetok, Jaka and my three lost boys… Jaim, Adee and Aalee. They all are special to me.
* * *
I will continue to write RH as I love it so much, so if you haven’t tried any of my other works I have Dystopian and Paranormal. Soon to have some contemporary later in the year, so be sure to join my mailing list for free books and any new releases you might be interested in.

Thank you all again so much for taking this ride with me,
