  “Does that mean you want to be with me?” he asked.

  “Yes, as much as I am allowed to. And I don’t just mean as long as you stay here in Willow Springs. If you leave, I leave. I want to be with you no matter what,” I said hearing the words out loud. It was true. I did want to be with him. I wanted to be with my sister as well, but something told me that she was on the verge of leaving with her own Veruka.

  “If that is what you want, it is what I want to. I am in love with you, Helen. I don’t want to be without you,” he said.

  “Then we have a new agreement. If you leave, I leave with you,” I said.

  “Yes, a new agreement. I promise to never leave you. You are my one and only,” he said.

  I rolled on top of his body and kissed him. I wanted to seal the deal of this new agreement with a kiss. I never wanted to let him go, and I never would.

  Epilogue

  After that night of lovemaking, everything at Willow Springs changed for the better. General Razook and his men stayed on at Willow Springs, which made my sister very happy. Seeing her happy made me happy as well. But what really helped was that the soldiers were able to build an electrified fence surrounding Willow Springs and two more mansions next to us, which allowed the compound to spread out so that we weren’t on top of each other. Erick was no longer in charge, and even though he was steaming about it, even he could see that the Veruka soldiers were a benefit to us. He went to live in one of the other mansions as far from Jex and I as he could. I think he was thankful for the extra room.

  With the help of Jex’s ships, supply runs became easy. It only took one ship and some soldiers to go hop from one abandoned house to another, even as far as into New York City itself. They had gathered a surplus of supplies for us, and it required an entire basement of the mansion to house it. Willow Springs became less tense, and everyone was content. Just as Erick had said, some of the women took to the Veruka soldiers, and it was obvious why. They were attractive and provided safety. But I never told any of them about the bonding of DNA; that was not for me to tell. But there was one human I was able to discuss it with.

  “So I assume you have mated with your General Razook?” I told Hannah the next day after the bonfire celebrations when we finally got some alone time together.

  “Shhh…” she said looking around as we walked out on the pier.

  “No one is around,” I said.

  “Yes, I did, and it was awesome!” she said giggling.

  “Yes, I bet,” I said. Then she looked at me. “And did you BOND with Captain Kailen?”

  “What do you mean by bond?” I asked.

  She looked at me suspiciously. “I think you know. Do you know?”

  “Do you know?” I asked looking at her not wanting to give it away if she didn’t know. But then again, this was my sister, and maybe I should tell her.

  “The DNA thing?” she asked.

  “Yes!” I laughed. “Isn’t it wild?”

  “It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe that it is even possible just from having sex,” she said.

  “Well, we’ve never had sex with aliens before, so I guess just the fact that there are aliens out there is also unbelievable,” I said.

  “True. I never thought we would be overrun by cyborgs,” she said.

  “I never thought I would be sleeping with an alien,” I said.

  “Not just an alien: a dragon alien!” she said.

  “I do love him, Hannah, I really do,” I said getting serious for a moment.

  “I know you do. I can see it on your face,” she said.

  “And I can sense that you are in love with Razook,” I said.

  “Sense?”

  “Yes, our twin intuition. You know when the supply mission went wrong, I could sense it. I knew that something wasn’t right. It was terrifying for me,” I said.

  “I know. I can feel when things are not right with you too. We’ve always had that,” she said.

  “Well, now everything is as good as it can be, and I can feel your joy,” I said giving her a big hug.

  “Oh, sister, I am so glad to be back with you. I was worried I would never see you again,” she said.

  “Me too. Now let’s make the most of our time together. We never know when this will all change again. It happens so quickly,” I said.

  “Yes, it does,” she said giving me a sad look.

  We walked down the pier to the bank of the bay. We watched as the Veruka soldiers walked around doing their duties and the humans did their chores. It was a strange thing to see, but it made sense. Willow Springs was more secure with the army there. It was good to feel safe for the first time in years.

  A year went by after the adventures of the Maven twins. Jex and I were still at Willow Springs. We were not leaving anytime soon. We had a mission: plant the virus in as many keddle as we came across. It was a mission that would take lots of planning and a lot of danger. But we weren’t in it alone.

  My sister Hannah eventually left with General Razook. But they were not too far away. General Razook had taken her to a nearby human colony in Vermont with his army. They were doing the same thing: spreading the virus. She was close enough to visit, and I had seen her twice in the year that had gone by. She was very happy, as was I.

  But there was more to be happy about than just the safety of the Willow Springs colony; I was pregnant with Jex’s child. This was turning out to be the best relationship I had ever had in my life. It was filled with mutual love, and we were truly bonded. Now, I was going to have his child.

  We had officially become husband and wife when his lieutenant married us in an official Veruka ceremony. Now I was truly his, and he was mine. I knew that eventually, I would go with him to Haven Brook when he needed to check in with his king.

  Perhaps one day I would even go with him to Tivoso, to a place where cyborgs were not a problem. But there was plenty of time, and I was in no rush. Because we had the agreement in place: the agreement that where he goes, I go. I knew that he would never break that agreement. He loved me, and I loved him, and it kept the agreement a solid bond, just like the bond created between us through my human DNA. It was unbreakable.

  Chapter 1

  Dr. Alice Tanner

  “Oh my god, Alice, you always do this!”

  I cringed at the sound of Lauren’s voice behind me and turned around.

  “I thought I did it right this time,” I sighed.

  “You know, for a scientist, you’re just too bad at numbers. You know we have to have everything absolutely perfect! We won’t get paid for our research if it turns out we’re messing it up!”

  “It’s not even just about payment,” Mary reminded Lauren. “If we get the facts wrong, it could impact everybody negatively if the Committee takes us at our word and publishes the findings. Who knows how much harm misinformation could cause in the long run?”

  I could feel a lump forming in my throat. Ever since I had joined the Elite Research Team that had been hand-chosen by the President of the United States and his team for homeland security, I had felt completely out of place. Sure, I had always been the top of my class and excelled at every single project I had undertaken in the scientific realm, but the fact was that, under pressure, I had a tendency to shut down. I had never handled certain types of pressure well; specifically, social pressures. I was great with facts and numbers…not so great with emotions and feelings and friends. And for some reason, I had really hoped that the other women in my group would like me.

  “I’m sorry, you guys. I don’t know what happened. I must have had my mind somewhere else…”

  The truth was that I knew exactly what had been o
n my mind. The day before, I had been working with Jaya, who was probably single-handedly the smartest human being on Earth. I knew I was intelligent, but she was on a completely different level: one that was nearly clairvoyant. It was eerie how quickly her mind worked at times—as if it weren’t even of her own accord or will. She just knew things.

  I had been intimidated, of course, as it was easy to intimidate me around other human beings, specifically the ones I was hoping to make friends with. who wouldn’t want to be friends with the smartest human on the planet, right? Well…that may have been a little bit easier if I hadn’t stood up and accidentally knocked over the beaker she had been glued to for the past six hours. It crashed to the floor, and she had given me the harshest look I had ever been on the receiving end of.

  I hadn’t been able to focus on anything after that, and the calculations I had done throughout the rest of the day had apparently suffered. Tremendously. Just as they always did when I was feeling stressed out.

  “Maybe you just shouldn’t be doing mathematical calculations,” Mary said diplomatically, pushing the glasses on top of her head and revealing her gentle brown eyes. “I wouldn’t mind doing the work.”

  “I can do math just fine,” I sighed. “But when I’m stressed out I do better out in the field. I need to work with my hands.”

  “Well our work can’t be dependent upon how you feel, Alice,” Lauren scoffed. “What we do here is far more important than that. Feelings are biological. It’s all in your brain, not in your heart. Either get it together, or I’m going to tell the group leader to send a letter to the president asking him to reconsider your position here.”

  Hot tears began to spring into my eyes, but I turned away before anybody could see them. I took a deep, wavering breath and then turned back to face Lauren, determined not to show anybody how I truly felt.

  “I understand. I will do better from now on. I’ll just work in the field and let Mary do the calculations.”

  “That suits me,” Mary said, walking over to the table where I was working and glancing down at my notes. “You can fill me in on what you’re working on. I was outside studying plant samples. Perhaps we can trade tasks for now. Once you are feeling better, you can try calculations again.”

  It was the closest thing to compassion that any of the others had shown me since I arrived. The truth was that all of us were the types of people who were more comfortable in our own skin and in an isolated room full of books. We were the loners of the world, and although we could socialize just fine, we felt more fulfilled pursuing our intellectual interests.

  “Thanks, Mary,” I said, sighing inwardly. “It would be nice to get outside for a while.”

  Mary nodded at me. “Sometimes plants understand us better.”

  I gave her a small half-smile, confused and touched by the small act of kindness, and then headed outside, feeling better for the first time since the beaker incident.

  ***

  “You guys, come here! This is insane!” I shouted, getting up from where I had been perched in the dirt and scrambling inside the lab. “There’s a plant outside that I can’t identify! It looks like it may be extraterrestrial in origin!”

  Everybody’s eyes widened, and the group of women drew a collective breath. This was exactly what the Committee had been waiting for. We had been looking for alien life on Earth for decades now, rarely finding any, but coveting the life we did find. Our job was to uncover the source of these plants and their impact on native Earth life. Rather than considering the plants that were alien in origin as an invasive species, for the most part, the Committee observed that alien plant life actually contributed to Earth’s ecosystem and provided much-needed nutrients to the soil that made it easier for plant life to thrive.

  It was a discovery that was still very much new, and the research on it was limited. That was why the team had been chosen. There were roughly 30 women on the Elite Research Team, and each of us had an incredible aptitude for science and mathematics. We had nicknamed ourselves the Golds, after the Fibonacci sequence. The Golden Ratio was something we all found mesmerizing and beautiful, no matter what our chosen field happened to be, and were curious what that ratio might be like in other worlds.

  Unfortunately, despite being brilliant scientists, we were still women, and because of difficulties in the women were refused a chance to go on missions in space to explore alien planets. Far too many incidents had happened before we had fully understood the high demand for females throughout the galaxies, and many women had been abducted and sold for their ability to reproduce. Since then, the government had officially banned women traveling into space. It posed too much risk both to the human women themselves and to national security. Women who were captured and tortured were more likely to give away secrets about humanity that could prove ultimately fatal should it come down to confrontation.

  Soon, all the women in the lab that day were following me outside. I held up my hand, so they would know to stop before they trampled the poor little flower bud, and then cautiously stepped forward.

  “It’s here,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “And you can tell by the strength of the stem that it’s probably been here for a really long time. The soil here is rich, and it’s probably kept most of these plants alive even when the area is covered in snow.”

  Slowly, an unofficial line formed and, one by one, each woman came forward to study the tiny plant. It didn’t look very out of the ordinary to the naked eye. It was easy to overlook; it was small and petite. The petals were white and perfect teardrop shapes, and the leaves were wild and scraggly as if it had been left there by some fateful wind current and allowed to grow and thrive, simply by chance.

  But the Committee had different theories about these little plants. Some believed that yes, they had come on the backs of asteroids that broke through the Earth’s atmosphere and found the habitat hospitable. Others, however, were not so convinced that it was nothing but a pleasant coincidence.

  A different group out of the Committee actually believed that the presence of these alien on Earth was rather malicious. Their theory was that the little plants had been deliberately placed upon Earth to make the environment more suitable to be inhabited by an invasive alien species. Those in this school of thought believed that these little flowers were slowly changing the atmosphere and the biological makeup of the planet to better suit the needs of whatever alien race had sent them. The race was unknown, as it was just a theory, but those who believed this were very outspoken and voracious about making sure there were procedures being implemented that would prevent the usurpation of our planet.

  One other theory that was lesser known, but one I particularly enjoyed, was that the little flowers were, in fact, their own species, and they hoped to come to Earth in order to enjoy the warm sunshine and the abundant minerals. These plants were thought to be sentient and intelligent, but nonverbal, and did their best to give back to the Earth tenfold what they took to sustain themselves.

  Though the little flowers were often different in aesthetic appearance, their overall makeup appeared the same, and they were relatively difficult to kill, even when they had been uprooted for days at a time. My personal hope was that this third theory was the one that had the most truth to it because the thought of coexisting with such a sweet, peaceful species seemed rather comforting in a way. They gave our planet something extraordinary in return for their residence here.

  “Look at those adorable little petals,” Mary said when it was her turn to view the flower. “I really hope that these guys come in peace.”

  She caught my eye, and we smiled at each other: the first time any of the other girls had smiled at me past the initial greeting stage. I was beginning to really like Mary; she seemed to have my back that day, and it was something I had really been in need of.

  “They are beautiful, aren’t they?”

  Just as I was about to tell her that the little plant might be able to understand us, the sky grew suddenl
y dark. I frowned, and Mary and I both looked up at the same time. What we saw made my blood curdle in fear. Directly above us was a sleek, silver ship: one unlike anything I had ever seen in my life. We had been educated for many years on the different types of alien life in the universe and how to identify them, but all knowledge seemed to go out the window as the fear began to lock up my brain.

  The women around me all began to shriek in fear as the ground began to quake and the air suddenly grew heavy. We were all forced to the ground in one crushing wave of gravity, and I strained my neck to try to look up at the sky and see what in the hell was going on.

  All that filled my eyes at that moment was a foggy purple light, and soon the world seemed to be filled with its haze. I tried to cry out, but it felt as if my windpipes were being crushed, and the only noise I could make was a pathetic groan. The ray that was on us hurt tremendously. Then, almost as suddenly as the weight had been placed on us, it was lifted, and the air became filled with weightless human bodies floating effortlessly into the sky.

  We were all too scared to make a sound, even if we could, and instead stared at each other with wide eyes as our bodies were lifted from the ground and up, up, up, until we were floating in what seemed like an impossibly tall room. Once all of us were gathered inside, the beam suddenly released its grip on us, and we all came crashing down to the floor. It caused a huge commotion, and several of the women cried out in pain and surprise as we landed.

  I stayed silent, however, terrified of what might be lurking in the darkness of the room. It was impossible to see until a dim light began to flicker on above our heads and we head a terrifying, grating voice bark out, echoing off the walls of the chamber and causing the metal beneath our bodies to vibrate with the force of it.

  “Human females. You have been abducted by the Petchuvian race for purposes of breeding. This will be your cell for the duration of our flight. There is a relief chamber in the back, which you are all to share. If you do not comply, you will be killed immediately. That is all.”
