  Highlight

  Prima AriELa has known her whole life that she wouldn’t mate for love, but that hadn’t stopped her from giving her heart away. She has loved Security Liaison TarAK since she was just a young. They have been separated for years and when he returns, he refuses to start a relationship with her. He seeks to mate another female. With a broken heart, AriELa realizes her only chance at a family of her own would be to accept the proposed mating of another male. The Kiljorn Prime Leader KadEN has a lot to offer, he’s handsome and powerful. She would be welcomed by the whole nation of Kiljor. The best part would be helping to unite two nations during a time of turbulence. It is the perfect solution to her problem except for one thing; her heart still aches for TarAK.

  TarAK has fought his attraction to Prima AriELa for years. She unwittingly set off his protective instincts while she was still a young. To protect both TarAK and AriELa, TarAK’s father sends him away for years to train. Just as he was beginning to control his feelings for AriELa, his father dies and TarAK must return to Katiera to take over the Prime family’s security detail. When he begins to feel the pull to AriELa again, he makes a choice to pursue another female. It becomes more and more difficult to ignore his true feelings, especially when AriELa accepts the pursuit of another male. Everything male in him screams to take her and make her his own. However, he has to fight those instincts. He has to do what is right for his people and what is right for AriELa. He would sacrifice everything to ensure her happiness.

  Story of the Star Mates

  The big star represents the God KiljOR. The little star beside it represents the Goddess KatieRI. Together they are known as Star Mates. It is said the God KiljOR took one look at the Goddess KatieRI and knew she was the one for him. The two Gods fell in love and mated. They were happy together and their happiness spread to the Katieran people. Blessings were granted and bond mates were found all over.

  Eventually KatieRI and KiljOR wanted to have children. In order to do this, each one had to give up some of their Godly powers. They had twins. KiljAN and KajAN. The first set that was born on Katiera. The twins were demi-gods weighted with mortality.

  KiljOR was
a warrior God, as were his twin sons. They were battling another warring nation and the twins fell. KiljOR took his sons back to their mother who was devastated by the loss. To honor his sons and to help his mate deal with her grief, KiljOR used all of his Godly powers to turn his sons’ bodies into the two Suns of the Katieran Galaxy. IljAN, the small red Sun, and AjAN, the large yellow Sun. No other set of twins had been born on Katiera since.

  It is said that KiljOR lived the rest of his life as a mortal and KatieRI stayed by his side. At his life’s final moment, KatieRI used all of her Godly powers to transform the two of them into the two stars that circle Katiera. They are called Star Mates. KatieRI did this so they would remain by one another’s side for all eternity.

  Prologue

  “Stay with me, Prima. You will survive. Do you hear me? You survive. That’s all that matters.” Lucy gripped her chin to make sure they made eye contact.

  Something in the other female’s eyes made her… determined . She would survive. She nodded her head. “Yes, I’m with you.”

  Suddenly TarAK was there helping her to stand. They touched briefly but it was enough to give her reassurances. He would fight to protect her. She just needed to survive for him. They turned to head down the opposite end of the street.

  A loud noise had her turning around to look behind her. She froze. Not more than five feet away stood two Morins. Oh Goddess, help us.

  “You will come with us, females,” one of them spoke.

  AriELa couldn’t seem to move. Her nightmares came to life before her eyes. They were uglier than she remembered, and the smell. She wanted to vomit.

  Lucy grabbed her hand and tried to pull her behind her but AriELa was frozen. Her feet were like lead.

  “AriELa!” TarAK screamed. He jumped in front of her, blocking the view of the Morins. It was enough to snap her out of her immobile state.

  “We need to go!” Lucy yelled.

  She couldn’t leave while TarAK faced the enemy. Both Morins attacked TarAK. He fell to the ground not moving.

  “TarAK!”

  *****

  Six Hours Later

  Kitana! Prime Leader KadEN watched the video feed showing the Morins attacking his home world. The footage they retrieved focused on Prima AriELa’s abduction. She had been shopping and the video feeds showed the Morins attacking TarAK. AriELa could have escaped, but she chose to aid TarAK instead. There was no doubt after seeing the devastated look on the young female’s face that she was in love with the Liaison.

  Second Lieutenant Daniels tried to pull AriELa to safety, but she refused to leave TarAK. The Morins grabbed AriELa. They pulled an unconscious TarAK toward a waiting shuttle. Two more Morins had to come and subdue the female warrior before taking her onto the same shuttle.

  KadEN watched Prime Commander KydEL’s expression as he witnessed helplessly as the enemy took his cousin. He was furious. KadEN didn’t blame him. He wanted to personally rip apart the Morin ships, wipe them from existence. They had killed many of his people, put Lindsey’s life in danger, and had taken AriELa.

  He looked over at the Prime Commander’s mate, Jaxon. Her reaction to the video feed was unexpected. “That’s bullshit! Daniels could have taken them.” Jaxon insisted the female warrior gave up the fight to follow AriELa.

  KadEN had sent transport ships and warships to escort the Katieran Transport from Earth. Several Morin Transports had escaped detection and used the distraction to break through the Kiljorn defenses. Half of their warships that had been on the outer landing fields were destroyed. Five city buildings were completely demolished. There were four hundred injured citizens of Kiljor and seventy deaths. The small southwest region was completely decimated. The only positive note was the Prime Building withstood the attack but the KadEN had a great deal of his people without homes to live in.

  The Colonial Transport that was traveling to Kiljor for alliance talks had sent assistance and helped to run the Morins off. Evidently, the Colonists were more of a military force than anyone had known. He was grateful for their assistance.

  The leader of the Colony, LarIS, agreed to use his special abilities to help them locate the Morin Transport ship. There had been many side effects caused by the Morin virus released many years ago. One of the more extreme side effects for LarIS was that he could read minds. The Colonial Leader offered to travel on the rescue team and use his psychic abilities to help locate the Morin Transport.

  *****

  AriELa had fought to stay by TarAK’s side. The Morins dragged him by his feet to their shuttle. “Let him go!” she yelled, but they ignored her.

  She looked behind her to see that two Morins held onto Lucy as they shoved her into the seat beside her. Lucy gripped AriELa’s hand. “Calm down, watch and listen.”

  She took in deep breaths, trying to calm herself. It was hard when all her thoughts were focused on TarAK. How badly was he hurt?

  The Morins didn’t bother to close the viewing screens. Lucy focused on learning where they were taking them. She couldn’t help but feel a sadness at seeing so much destruction caused by the Morins. She wanted nothing more than to kill every last one of them, but she had to stay focused on her objectives. First to survive—then to escape with AriELa.

  The trip didn’t take too long. The Morin Transport was waiting for them. It looked as ugly as the Morins themselves were. What the hell was with the smell?

  The air was pressurized and the shuttle secured to the docking bay. The Morins were not gentle when they dragged them off the shuttle. She had checked over the shuttle control panel and she would be able to fly them back without any problems. If she could remember the way back to Kiljor. However, getting past all the Morins was going to be nearly impossible.

  AriELa stood still when a tall Morin approached. He had the same solid yellow eyes but his skin color was not as sickly looking. He walked with an air of confidence. There was something familiar about this male. It was obvious by the way he carried himself and the way the other males moved out of his way, that he was the one in charge. Who was he?

  He looked over them with curiosity. Lucy shivered with dread when he stopped in front of AriELa, staring at her intently. He was probably thirty years older than she was, but he still looked fit.

  He spoke to one of the Morin warriors, “Secure the male.”

  “Yes, sir.”

  AriELa watched with tears in her eyes as TarAK was dragged off the shuttle and taken away.

  “Where are you taking him?”

  “To a holding room,” he answered her.

  He looked her up and down. His eyes gleamed intently, which made AriELa feel wary. “I am Leader Krosis of the Morin Nation. It is a pleasure to meet you again, Prima AriELa. You certainly have grown into a beautiful female.”

  “How do you know me? When did we meet?” she asked.

  He smiled a sickly smile. “Many years ago. I ordered the attack on your family’s ship.”

  She gasped. “You, it was you that attacked my family?”

  He tapped his forehead. “Yes.”

  AriELa felt all the air being sucked out of her body. No! This couldn’t be happening to her, yet again. Over seven years ago this Morin took everything dear to her. Was she doomed to have tragedy follow her life? No, this couldn’t happen to me again, I won’t allow it.

  Her face went pale and her knees gave out on her. Then everything went dark.

  Chapter One

  A Little Over Seven Years Ago

  “Are your tests accurate, Medic Cog?” the Morin Leader Krosis asked as he rubbed a pale hand over his hairless head.

  “Yes, sir.” Medic Cog stood anxiously awaiting for his leader to respond to the news he was just given. He wished he had insisted on someone else to give the bad news.

  “If our planet can no longer support life, we will have to leave the Morin Star System and seek out a planet with enough resources to support the remaining population. Do we have a number?” asked the leader.

  “There ar
e only a couple of thousand left.”

  “How many of those are females?” the Morin leader kept demanded.

  There was a long, uncomfortable pause. “Less than fifty,” Medic Cog held his breath after he spoke.

  “What? Are you telling me that out of two thousand of our Morin Nation, only fifty females have survived?” The Leader looked ready to hit something.

  “Yes, sir.”

  “Have any of them produced viable young?”

  “None have. The side effects from the viral testing on our home planet have made the females unable to produce.”

  “And what of the side effects to the males?” Krosis already knew some of the effects that had been caused. He himself experienced the hairlessness, unusual coloring of skin, and extreme bouts of violence.

  “The seed production for the males is decreasing at an astronomical rate. In ten years or less, all our males will be sterile.”

  “Then we need to acquire not only a new home planet but new specimens to breed with.”

  “That is the only option left to us. We have been looking for the nearest Star System that will be…” the medic was interrupted.

  “I already have a Star System in mind. If not for them, our people would not be on the verge of non-existent,” Krosis told him pulling up the coordinates on his digital tablet.

  “Surely you don’t mean …” Medic Cog stared at his leader wide-eyed.

  “Set course for Katiera,” said as an order by the leader, not a statement up for discussion.

  *****

  “When will we be there?” AriELa asked her father.

  Prime Commander ConEL smiled down at his only daughter, Prima AriELa. A father couldn’t be any prouder. She was smart, curious, brave, and as beautiful as her mother. He was going to have to be careful with the males that he knew were going to be after her when she reached maturity.
