Here's what I don't know: why the king of them is here this time, and why his black, glittering eyes are trained on me.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA hybrid with red alien skin and brown human eyes, I'm not pretty. I've got no family and no plans to ever have one – least of all with this monster of a male. I'm an inventor, a mechanic, a tinkerer. The alien king wants me for reasons I can only guess at, but I'm not about to be taken for a slave and his response to me is something I know I can engineer my way out of.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe plans to come back for me when I'm of age, but he'll have to find me first.

Does she not know that it is my blood rite to keep her safe against him and his even more dangerous off-world allies? No, she thinks herself my slave and in place of acceptance, offers me only pacts and bargains. Shamed by her pacts, I still take them all gluttonously, because though she knows only hate, I know only need.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEventually, we will need more than just these pacts between us if I am to convince her that she is my Xiveri mate and if she is to take her place at my side, not as my slave, but as Voraxia's queen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaken to Voraxia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a full-length, standalone, interracial, SciFi romance complete with an alpha alien overlord, warrior heroine, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, world building and extra steamy bits.
