Katieran Prime
She was abandoned by the man she thought she loved and forced to run as a fugitive from Earth’s government. Cassie Tomlin is desperate and willing to do anything. Just how far is she willing to go to start a new life? Is she desperate enough to agree to live on another planet with strange and sexy aliens?
Prime Leader RendEL has been given the task of overseeing the repopulation of his home world of Katiera. The primitive planet of Earth offers females that are both beautiful and compatible. However, Ren finds one Earth female to be a lot more than what he had bargained for. Will he be able to fulfill his responsibilities to his people and follow the path of his heart? Or will he have to sacrifice one in order to have the other?
This book is dedicated the following people:
To my family who supported me through the hard times. To my parents, Charles and Doris Jones, who gave me the best example of what a true loving relationship should be. To My wonderful son, Christian, who tells me I’m the greatest mom ever, on most days. To my friends, Marsha and Rochelle, who encouraged me to follow my dreams and helped me with the editing.
And most importantly, I thank God for the many blessings given to me.
Prologue
It was a knee jerk reaction. A man yelled out, “Cassandra Tomlin!” She turned her head which gave herself away. The next thing she knew, two men started chasing her. She dropped the takeout food she had bought from the local diner and took off weaving in and out of the busy foot traffic on the sidewalk. She ducked in between two buildings in a dark alley hoping to hide in the shadows.
She could see and hear the two men as they stopped at the entrance of the alley. One man was tall, thin and wearing a blue baseball cap. The other guy was average height and had a big beer belly and short, brown hair.
The beer belly guy was trying to catch his breath as he asked the other guy, “Did … you ... see … where she … went?”
Thin man looked frustrated. “No, but I think she ran into one of these two buildings.”
The beer belly guy nodded his head. “You go check one of them out and I will check out the alley.”
“I don’t know about splitting up. Mr. McCormick has refused to pay any more of our expenses if we don’t bring the bitch in soon.” Thin man said.
“I know my ears still hurt from him yelling at us over the phone. Go … check the building and I’ll get the alley. If I don’t find anything, I’ll come and help you search.” The beer belly guy told him. Thin man nodded and headed into the nearest building. Beer belly guy headed into the alley that Cassie was hiding in.
Cassie crouched behind a Dumpster trying to get her racing heart to slow down. She prayed to God the guy would pass her by. The man shuffled around the alley looking into almost every corner. He was turning and heading back out of the alley, when, Cassie lost her footing and fell back onto her butt. Shit!
She got to her feet and checked to see where the beer belly guy was. A chunky male hand grabbed her arm and dragged her out from behind the Dumpster. She struggled to pull free, but he was much stronger than her.
“I’ve got you now bitch!” He yelled at her and started dragging her towards the entrance of the alley.
“Let me go asshole!” She yelled back as she dug her feet down on the hard concrete to slow him down.
He stopped and grabbed her by both arms and shook her. “Do you know how many states I had to chase you through? I should just turn you over to the EWG and let them deal with you and your illegal pregnancy. Can’t do that though, won’t get paid by your boyfriend.”
“EX-boyfriend!” Cassie yelled back at him. She needed to get away before he called the thin guy for back up. Think ... What would Jaxon do? She would …
Cassie kneed the guy in the nuts and while he was bent over howling from pain, she bawled her hand into a fist and swung as hard as she could …
Chapter 1
The little diner in Oklahoma City was overcrowded with people. They weren’t eating, they were all staring at the T.V. watching the latest news report.
“This is the video we have of the aliens who call themselves, Katierans.” The newswoman explained as they showed a video clip of two good looking men wearing sunglasses walking into the Capitol building. The newswoman continued with her story, “It is rumored that these aliens plan to help Earth with its overpopulation problem. Negotiations with the EWG, have been going on for over a year. My sources with the EWG say that an agreement has been reached. Further details are expected to be released within the next few days.”
“There you are.” A young, attractive woman with brunette hair braided and hanging halfway down her back, plopped onto a stool at the bar beside a smaller woman wearing a coat with a hood over her head.
“We shouldn’t be here Jax. I don’t want you to get in trouble too.” The smaller woman told her.
“Cassie, you can’t keep going on like this. You need medical care, food, and a safe place to live.” Jaxon said with concern in her voice.
“I’m doing okay.” Cassie tried to sound convincing.
“They almost caught you! You still have bruises on your arms.” Jaxon stated angrily.
Five months ago Cassie and her then boyfriend, Senator in Training Scott McCormick, had a little accident that resulted in an unauthorized pregnancy. Cassie, having grown up an only child, wanted a family of her own and was excited. She had hoped that Scott would, also, be happy about the situation and would agree to apply for a special license from the EWG, Earth World Government.
Instead, Scott had been obsessed that this would ruin his political career. He dropped her off in front of an abortion clinic and threatened to turn Cassie into the authorities if she didn’t go through with it.
She remembered standing there alone in front of the imposing building trying to decide what to do. She missed her parents and her grandparents, who raised her when her parents died. The only other family she had left was her best friend Jaxon Malone. She made the decision to keep her child. She took all the money she had saved from her bank account and took to the road.
Unfortunately, Scott didn’t give up easily. He hired several detectives to track her down. They had found her at almost every location she went to. She escaped each time, but this last time was a close call.
“I still think that this is a bad idea.” Cassie looked around the diner to make sure no one was looking or listening.
“Trust me. I think this is the best solution to your problem.”
Cassie caught sight of her reflection in the mirror on the wall and didn’t recognize herself. She used to have a nice curvy figure. She had bi
g breasts that always caught the attention of men. Clear ivory skin, because redheads typically didn’t tan well. She had full, pouty lips and bright green eyes. Now, she was too thin, too pale, cracked lips, and her eyes looked a little bit dull. She looked sickly.
“I don’t like this, but, I’ll go with you.” Cassie finally agreed.
Prime Leader RendEL of the Katieran Nation, Ren to his family and close friends, sat alone in the back of the black limousine feeling the weight of the night pressing in on him. He had just finished the dinner with the EWG, Earth World Government leaders. It seemed to him as though every leader that had attended the dinner presented him with an unmated sister, daughter, cousin, friend, even an ex-wife. There had been so many females there. All of them were vying for his attention. Some boldly grabbed personal parts of his body. It was extremely overwhelming.
Ren saw himself as an average Katieran male. He was 6’ 7” tall and weighed 240 pounds, all muscle. He had black hair that just reached his shoulders. He usually pulled his hair back and tied it. He was broad shouldered. His skin was the golden bronze that was similar to Earth’s Native Americans.
His eyes were a deep, dark, blue with the yellow-gold pupils that all Katierans shared. His looks were typical of the males of Katiera, but, on Earth he was considered exotic and his status as Prime was looked upon as royalty. He didn’t feel that way at all. He was just a warrior at heart, intent on keeping his people from becoming extinct.
The Katieran Nation needed things to go well with this trade agreement. When his people received the SOS over a year ago from the EWG seeking assistance, hope surged throughout his home world. Ren would deal with being in the uncomfortable spotlight for his people’s sake.
Earth’s people struggled with an overpopulation problem and were quickly depleting their natural resources. The earth had reached Situation Critical where the planet would be uninhabitable in 15 years’ time if something wasn’t done immediately.
The Katieran Nation suffered from the exact opposite problem. They had an abundance of natural resources, but, they were no longer breeding children. In fact, only a hand full of children had been born in the last 20 years. The males outnumbered the females 7:1. His youngest brother, Prime Medic SydEL was recently appointed the task of heading the research to resolve this problem. Until then, it was up to Ren to find a way to bring compatible females to his planet for repopulation.
Human females seemed to be compatible. The medical records and DNA samples that SydEL reviewed indicated that there would be no problems with human and Katieran breeding compatibility. Also, Ren with both his brothers, and members of the Katieran High Council, viewed previously recorded couplings between human males and human females. The anatomy and physiology between the two species were very similar.
Katierans had highly developed eyesight, hearing, taste buds, and a greater sense of smell. They typically relied on their senses to help them find their mates. Ren’s thoughts returned again to tonight’s dinner and the many females that had tried to get him to lay with them. They were so strange with their dark pupils and their delicate skin. None of the women appealed to him. Unfortunately, some of those women were planning to relocate to Katiera. He was going to make every effort to keep his distance from those females.
The limousine stopped right outside of the Skilton Hotel in Oklahoma City, where his people were interviewing applicants for relocation. Those applicants chosen to relocate were called refugees. Ren hoped that his older brother, Prime Commander KydEL had a better evening than he did.
Prime Commander KydEL stood at 6’8” with broad shoulders, well-muscled arms that were tight against his dark blue uniform which wrapped around his upper body like a kimono, molding to his muscular physique. He had black hair that was cut very short and dark brown eyes with the yellow looking pupils. He was waiting for Ren at the front door of the hotel.
“Greetings Kyd, how are the interviews going?” Ren asked him as he continued on through the double doors of the hotel. Females turned to watch the two men walk by. They were a striking pair. Many of the females were scenting with arousal.
“The interviews are almost done. How did it go with the EWG State dinner?” Commander KydEL looked at the pained expression that came across his brother’s face and saw the answer. “That good, huh?”
“I hope I never have to do that again. Those females....” Ren left the rest unsaid. He shook his head hoping to wipe the memory of the evening from his mind.
Beep ... Beep ... Beep. The commander’s comm link went off letting him know one of his lieutenants was trying to reach him. “Go lieutenant”.
“We have a security breach in the interview room!” The lieutenant sounded out of breath.
“I’m on my way!” He looked at Ren and knew he had heard about the breach. Ren nodded that he was coming with him.
The two men turned to run at full speed towards the hotel’s ballroom that was being used to conduct the interviews. As soon as they burst through the double doors they both came to a screeching halt. They were unprepared for what met their eyes.
About 15 Earth females stood cowering against the walls of the interview room. That wasn’t what caught their immediate attention. Near the center of the room were 6 Earth females standing in a tight circle, with 1 lone female standing in the center of the protective circle. The female seemed to be swaying slightly.
Katieran warriors surrounded the circle of Earth females giving commands to the females to calm themselves, which the Earth females responded by shouting back at the warriors to shove something up.... Ren wasn’t exactly up on Earth vernacular. One female with a brunette braid falling midway down her back and dressed in Earth’s warrior attire, seemed more aggressive. As two Katieran warriors advanced towards her, the female warrior took them both down to the floor.
Ren looked at his brother who seemed just as shocked as he was. “By the fiery flames of Kitana, what is happening here?” The commander looked at the nearest lieutenant who was sweating fiercely. “Why are the females acting this way?”
The lieutenant looked at both the Prime Leader and the Prime Commander and hated that he was the one having to explain the situation. “Prime Commander, those 7 females came in right at the end of the interview session. The medics had been dismissed, so the females were not given the translators. We tried to explain that the interviews were over, but they did not understand without the translators.”
The lieutenant continued, “We noticed right away that the female in the middle of the circle was breeding and seemed very sick. We tried to get her to come with us to have the medics check her out. She did not understand and feared us. The female warrior took a protective stance and the other 5 females joined her and formed a protective circle. The female breeding looks to be in very bad shape”.
Ren could barely make out the female in the circle’s center. She was wearing a large jacket and had covered her head with a hood. But he could smell her. She had the extra hormones associated with breeding. She smelled like the sweetest flowers grown in Katiera’s well-groomed gardens. He liked the way she smelled.
“Warriors report!” Commander KydEL yelled. All warriors presented themselves before the Prime Commander. Kyd stared into the light brown eyes of the female warrior before he turned his attention to his warriors. He touched his comm link attached to his ear to call the medics back to the interview room immediately with 7 translators.
The strategy involved each warrior being responsible for carefully subduing a female while the medics administered the translators. Kyd planned to subdue the female warrior himself, since none of his lieutenants wanted the task. Ren would be responsible for reaching the female breeding and ensure her safety. All Katierans held the health and safety of females and children in the highest of importance.
As the medics arrived with the translators, each warrior took a spot in front of a female. Kyd stood in front of the female warrior. His 6’8” towered over her 5’5”. He liked that she was much smaller
than him. He gave her an arrogant smile that made her respond by sticking out her tongue at him. His sex instantly hardened. Damn female.
Ren stood back behind the warriors but kept himself at a slight angle so that he could keep his eyes on the female in the center of the circle. The other females were yelling words that didn’t quite translate to Katieran. Ren wasn’t sure that was a good sign.
The Commander let out a loud shrill whistle, which was the signal for the warriors to move. As one, the warriors surged forward, each one grabbing hold of a female and dragging her away from their formed circle. The warriors wrapped their arms carefully, but tightly, around each female, holding their arms down by their sides.
Ren held his hands up non-threateningly, as he approached the frail female. He could smell her panic. She only stood about 5’3”. She looked very pale and was shivering. She looked up at him as he neared and she turned in an attempt to run, but she lost her footing. She started falling.
Ren had to act quickly as he rushed forward to catch the female in his arms. The hood fell off her head to reveal long red hair. It was as flaming red as Katiera’s second sun. Beautiful hair. He lifted her easily into his arms and pulled her gently against his chest. She looked into his eyes and his breath caught. She had light green eyes. They were a shade lighter than the Waters of Katiera, and just as beautiful.
The female struggled to get free which was pointless. He was too strong. It was all too much for the weakened female. She soon fell unconscious in his arms. Worry for the female’s well being consumed him. He yelled for the medics.
He carried the unconscious female down the hallway following the medics. They led him to a room that they were using as a temporary Medic Room in order to conduct medical exams on the refugees.
The female’s intoxicating scent was playing havoc with Ren’s body. He pressed his nose against her neck for a deeper smell. She smelled so good to him. He growled when one of the medics attempted to take the female from him. What was wrong with him? He was never possessive over a female before. He barely knew this female. Yet, her scent was bringing out protective instincts Ren didn’t know he had. He knew he had to put some space between them immediately, for everyone’s safety. Nothing is more dangerous than a Katieran male going into protective mode over his mate.
