Delivered to the Aliens: Cosmic Connections

Sophia didn’t want to imagine the struggle for the next one.
Alton joined her at the fence, landing a quick kiss on her temple. “I fear when she is a teenager. Are Terran teenagers as much trouble as Corravians?”
“Hormones. Puberty. Developing independence. Some things are universal.”
“She has no trouble with independence,” Alton said. “She has your spirit.”
Sophia smiled. Superficially, her daughter did not resemble her. But where it mattered? Zalhia was a carbon copy of her mother.
“So,” she said, “how do you think she’ll like a little brother?”
The grin on Alton’s face was brighter than the sun. Her mates already knew. Sophia had been ill in the morning for a few weeks. They suspected. She got confirmation at the clinic yesterday.
“I think she’ll carry him around like she did that Bova calf in the spring.” The calf in question was half grown now and followed Zalhia around the ranch like a pet.
Life on Corra was good. The storms were still harsh. Weather swung from sweltering summer to frigid, icy winters. Alton and Zan’s work, along with the work of other Guardians stationed on the planet, significantly reduced the mornclaw population. There had not been an attack in six months but clusters were still spotted on the fringes of habitable land.
Corra’s population climbed again with the arrival of new settlers. The school reopened but could not employ more than one full time teacher at the moment. Sophia got called in about once every two weeks for a “special science lesson.” She’d spend a day planning an interesting demonstration for the children and then spend an afternoon teaching. The experiments involving explosions were the most popular. She gave the school marm a panic attack but the schedule was perfect for Sophia. She got time with her daughter and then time for herself.
Three years ago, fired from another dead end job, on the brink of eviction, Sophia could not have dreamed that walking into Cosmic Connections would have such a happy outcome. She really should thank Harry Salt for firing her. She owed him one.
“What’s that look for?” Alton asked as he pulled her into an embrace. His deep voice rumbled against her ear.
Sophia smiled dreamily and stroked his tall, proud horns. They came in late but they were as majestic as you could ask for. “Nothing. Just thinking.”
“Good things?”
The best things.
“It’s time for dinner,” Sophia called, twisting in Alton’s embrace. “Come inside. Your fathers and I have good news.”

The adventure and romance is not over yet.
Paax
Paax never wanted to be matched to a mate.
The situation in his clan was dangerous for a hardened warrior, let alone a soft Human female without fangs or claws to defend herself. Sending her back to Earth was the only way to keep her safe. However, the moment the curvaceous woman stepped off the transporter, his tattoo burned with a passionate intensity he’d never experienced before. Paax knew he would do anything to protect her, to claim her, even challenge the clan’s violent Warlord.
No force in the universe would take his mate from him.
Matched to an alien warrior in the Draft, Mercy swore she’d do whatever it took to get out of the marriage contract. She liked her life on Earth and her independence. No one would take it away, not even the ridiculously hot warrior who demanded she call him husband.
Why is being claimed by the horned muscular alien the only thing she can think about?
She didn’t want to stay, did she?
