Planet Glecerus
The year is 2327. Earth, once strong, is now trying to recover from the devastation of the Great War. During the battle, millions of lives were lost and cities were destroyed. Needing to rebuild, the government turned to other planets. One day, a starship arrived from the planet of Glecerus. The aliens traded technology and medicine for willing humans to become mates to their people.
Sebastian Cain is struggling to survive. His only option for a better life is to leave Earth. He volunteers to go to Glecerus. He’s looking for a fresh start and the only family he has left, an older brother. But life on Glecerus takes some getting used to, and Sebastian must learn the customs before becoming a mate to a Glecerian male.
High King Auden Q'Tal and Captain Regin Priq'aq are both interested in becoming Sebastian’s mate. Instead of bidding on the human at auction, the aliens battle it out, and the winner gets to mark and claim Sebastian.

Prologue
The year is 2327. Earth, once strong, is now a struggling planet within the universe, still trying to recover from the devastation of the Great War. As with most wars, the motive was simple, money and power. Nations brutally attacked each other, using every piece of weaponry in their arsenals to cause the maximum amount of destruction. During the battle, millions of lives were lost, and some parts of the world were completely wiped out.
Food, water, and other basic necessities were in short supply. Technology was practically non-existent, which meant that there was no more electricity, computers, or cell phones. People starved. There was sickness without medicine, and death without hope.
After the world almost ended, things drastically changed. A council was formed consisting of leaders from the top eight nations: America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Japan. Together, they made all the decisions. In order to survive, the council turned to other planets, civilizations far away, begging for help. They were willing to do anything to start rebuilding.
One day, without warning, alien starships arrived, changing the course of life for everyone. It wasn’t a blessing or a curse. It just was.
The planet of Glecerus offered to help. They were willing to trade technology and medicine for single males and females to become mates to their people. The council agreed.
In the beginning, a lottery system was put into place. Young men and women were assigned numbers and then taken away by force from their homes and families. It was a terrible tragedy that caused militias to rise up and fight back. With more destruction, the council decided to make changes. They got rid of the lottery system. People were encouraged to volunteer. If you volunteered of your own free will, your remaining family members would be taken care of for the rest of their lives. They would live modestly, without the worry of food, water, or other basic necessities. It was a good deal, especially when so many people went without.
Once a year, a Glecerian spaceship arrived. The large metal beast hovered above the Earth, a black cloud, waiting to take more volunteers to their home world.
Chapter One
A heavy knock on the door woke Sebastian Cain from a sound sleep. He threw his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. Dragging his feet against the threadbare carpet, he walked toward the front door. Sebastian looked through the peephole and sighed. It was time. Closing his eyes, he leaned his forehead against the cool, metal door and took a deep breath.
He wasn’t scared, but Sebastian had to admit that he was a little nervous. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but he’d heard enough stories to believe that he’d be treated well.
Sebastian had volunteered when the announcement was made that the Glecerian ship would be returning. He was hoping that his applica
tion would be accepted so that he could find his older brother. Jason had volunteered ten years ago. With his sacrifice, their family had been taken care of. Since their parents were now both deceased, Sebastian was alone. And being lonely was a curse worse than death in his opinion.
After a moment, Sebastian stepped back and opened the door. “Hello,” he said as he took in the two muscular guards standing in his doorway.
“Sebastian Cain?” one of the guards asked.
“Yes.” He nodded.
“Your application has been accepted. Please get dressed and come with us.”
“Of course,” Sebastian easily agreed. “Just give me a couple of minutes to get ready.”
Both guards turned and took up positions in front of the door. Sebastian stared at their backs for a moment, unsure of what to do. After a minute, he decided to close the door. He turned on his heel and hurried back into his bedroom. Sebastian moved quickly. He didn’t want to keep the guards waiting too long.
He looked around his bedroom, making a complete circle. He wished there was a way for him to bring some personal items, but it was forbidden. The aliens provided for their chosen mate. All the pertinent information had been provided when Sebastian volunteered. He’d been given a manual titled: What to Expect from Your New Home World: Rules, Customs, Policies, Expectations, and Information. He’d thumbed through the giant book a few times but couldn’t seem to find the time to actually sit down to read the damn thing.
He strode into the adjoining bathroom, stripped down, and climbed into the tub. He turned the knob and a light stream of cool water drizzled from the tap. Sebastian did the best he could to get cleaned up. He scrubbed his body with a bar of soap and rinsed. When he was done, Sebastian dried himself off and walked back into the bedroom. He grabbed a clean pair of jeans and a long-sleeve gray T-shirt and got dressed.
Sebastian ran his fingers through his damp hair, combing out the dark strands as he headed for the front door. Pulling it open, he stepped outside. “I’m ready to go.”
The guards took the lead, walking in front of him, and Sebastian trailed behind them. The men were both wearing black uniforms and holding ancient-looking weapons since Earth’s technology was still way behind the times.
He was escorted to a horse-drawn wagon. Sebastian climbed onto the back and took a seat on one of the wooden benches. Sebastian grabbed hold of the edge, careful not to get a splinter as the wagon started to move. He didn’t speak, and the guards didn’t bother making idle conversation to fill the silence.
Every time one of the large, spoked wheels hit a patch of uneven road, it jostled Sebastian. He swayed side to side as the horse picked up its pace, trotting toward the Justice Building at the other side of town. The sun slowly rose above the horizon, the soft rose-pink light of dawn scattering across the land. Sebastian took a deep breath, pulling the cool morning air into his lungs.
Looking around, Sebastian wondered if things would ever truly change. The renovations moved slowly. The city where he’d been born and raised consisted of both old crumbled-down buildings and brand new architecture. Remnants of the old mixed with the new. Most of the new buildings had been constructed after a group of young men and women were taken away by a Glecerian starship.
The Justice Building slowly emerged from the fog as they got closer. It was a huge building made of glass and metal, rising high in the sky. It stood out like a sore thumb, bright and clean, unlike the surrounding area. There was a statue in front of the building, a steel face of a woman, lonely and sad, that had once been called The Statue of Liberty.
Most of the civilians stayed far away from the Justice Building. It was a symbol of punishment. If someone didn’t follow the rules set by the council, they were taken to the building, and only a few emerged. The only reason Sebastian had been inside was because he’d volunteered to become a mate to one of the Glecerian males.
He’d gone through extensive medical and psychological tests. He also took a sexual personality test. The questions were quite intimate. When he handed the packet in, Sebastian felt his face flush in embarrassment, especially since he wasn’t sure how many people would have access to his deepest, darkest, kinkiest desires. With everything he’d been through so far, it seemed that he wasn’t finished yet.
The wagon came to a stop in front of the Justice Building. Sebastian stood up and jumped off the back, landing on his feet. He started walking up the steps and realized the guards weren’t escorting him. Sebastian looked over his shoulder at the guards, and they gave him a subtle nod before pulling away. After he walked through the open doors and stepped inside the building, Sebastian immediately stopped.
He stood ramrod straight, pushing his shoulders back and keeping his head high. He wouldn’t be afraid. He wouldn’t tremble in fear.
A warm hand touched his shoulder, and Sebastian jerked away with a startled yelp. He put his hand over his chest as he examined the stranger standing before him. The young man had brown, curly hair that touched his shoulders, dark brown eyes, a wide smile, and freckles over the bridge of his nose. He stood a few inches shorter than Sebastian’s five-foot-eleven frame. He was cute, and if Sebastian had to guess, he would say the kid was barely eighteen.
“I’m sorry.” His smile fell. “I didn’t mean to scare you. Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” Sebastian said, even though it was a lie. “I’m fine.”
“I’m Aaron Butler.” He held out his hand, introducing himself, and Sebastian took it.
“Sebastian Cain.”
“Did you volunteer?”
Sebastian nodded. “Of course.”
“Yeah,” he said. “Me too, but I’m not sure if I want to go.”
“I think it’s too late to change your mind.”
“I don’t really have a choice anyway. My younger sister is really sick. My mom told me that if I volunteered, she would get the medicine she needs to get better,” Aaron told him. “Anyway…” He pointed across the room, changing the subject. “We’re supposed to get in line over there.”
Sebastian saw a single file line forming against the far wall. Young men of all races and body types stood silently, each facing forward with blank expressions on their faces.
“Why aren’t you in line?”
“I didn’t want to go alone.”
Sebastian could understand Aaron’s unease. With all the people in uniforms and lab coats walking around, it made the Justice Building appear scarier. “Come on. Let’s get in line.” Sebastian started walking, and Aaron stayed by his side, keeping pace.
“Why did you volunteer?” he asked.
Sebastian wasn’t sure how much he wanted to share with Aaron, so he kept things simple. “There isn’t anything left for me here.”
“A fresh start, huh?”
“Yeah.” Sebastian nodded reluctantly. “A fresh start.”
Sebastian got in line. After a few minutes, they finally started to move. Sebastian shuffled his feet against the floor, following the person in front of him. They walked into another room lined with doctors.
“Can you please remove your shirt?” a man with a clipboard asked.
“Uh…” Sebastian looked around. “Sure, I guess.”
“Vaccinations.” That was all he said as he continued down the line.
Sebastian followed the order without question. He pulled the long-sleeve shirt off over his head and held it in front of his chest, covering himself.
Like an assembly line, they moved from doctor to doctor, receiving vaccines. At one point, Sebastian opened his mouth to ask a question but decided against it. He merely followed along.
“Can you tell me what’s going on?” Aaron whispered, his voice shaking. “What are all these shots?”
The doctor’s eyes quickly swept around the room before he said, “It’s a three-month journey to Glecerus. It can be tough on the human body so you’ll be put into cryosleep.”
“Cryosleep.” Aaron shook his head, obviously confused. “What does that mea
n?”
“You’ll be asleep for the entire journey. We’re running some last minute tests and giving you a few vaccines. We’re also loading you up with an extra dose of vitamins, minerals, and some chemicals from Glecerus. It’s everything you need during your cryosleep.”
“What kind of chemicals?”
“They’ll alter your DNA so that your lifespan matches the Glecerians.”
“Oh my God,” Sebastian murmured. It sounded scary, but he didn’t voice his concerns.
The doctor looked at him and smiled. “It’s perfectly safe. You’ll fall asleep here and wake up there. It’ll be like taking a nap. And with these extra doses, you shouldn’t have any trouble acclimating when you reach Glecerus.”
“We’ll be sleeping for three months?” Sebastian was still stuck on that tidbit of information.
“All of this information was in the manual you received when you volunteered. You read the manual, didn’t you?”
“Absolutely,” he blatantly lied.
Without another word, Sebastian moved forward. He’d skimmed through the thousand-page manual, but he’d never taken the time to really read it. Had the other volunteers read it? Cryosleep. That seemed like a really important piece of information to miss. And now that he knew, Sebastian really was scared. What else had he missed?
“You didn’t know about the cryosleep either, did you?” Aaron whispered from behind him.
“No,” Sebastian said.
“I didn’t read the manual,” Aaron confessed. “I should’ve read it, but I didn’t. It was so damn big.” He said a litany of curse words under his breath. “I’m such an idiot.”
