Hadone

Istep through the portal and see the most glorious sight an Aurelian can see - his mate, awaiting him on his home world.

She’s mine, now – here with me for eternity.

My pride pulses through the Bond between us, magnifying as we breath in the hot, wet air of our planet. No longer do we have to taste the harsh, dry air of the alien planet where Tammy came from. No longer will we be hounded by Scorp, or the humans with their deadly sticks that shoot lethal projectiles.

Tammy is a healer. She will heal the sick members of my tribe. She can heal anyone! I mean, I thought Forn was dead back on that planet – slain by the old man with that strange weapon, right in Tammy’s home. But Forn survived thanks to her magic. Imagine what else she could accomplish!

The start of a smile comes to my face, but then turns cold. A surge of panic hits me as I look at Tammy. She’s so perfect, but like all humans, so fragile and delicate, with a small body that could become an easy target on our world.

But it isn’t her body that I worry is fragile.

A wave of grief hits me as I remember the last human woman who cared for me.

I killed her.
