"I told you he was a dick."

"I know." Camille sighed, picking at the hem of her sleeves. "If I had known it was his office I would have been quicker about getting out of there."

"You learn from your mistakes." Charlotte shrugged and finished applying the dark reddish brown lipstick to her lips. "Now, how do I look?"

It was Friday night and Charlotte hadn't let Camille forget for one minute that they were going out. The pink haired girl hadn't stopped regaling Camille with stories from nights at the Silver Dollar (or the watering hole as it was affectionately called). Camille would be lying if she said that she held the same level of enthusiasm as her best friend but the more she was around Charlotte's excited energy, the more it rubbed off on her until she wasn't so petrified of the situation. Before Camille could say no, she found herself in a long sleeved black number made of crushed velvet and barely made it half way down her shapely legs. It reminded a little too much of the gar

    Despite it not being all that late, the street wasn’t particularly busy for a Friday night. Cop cars, taxis and buses trundled along the roads while the smell of food wafted from the restaurants and diners along the way. To an outsider, the pair simply looked like two friends walking together and yet Camille could feel the tension crackling between them. She was relieved that the hulking god like creature didn’t try to touch her again not because she didn’t want him to but because she had liked it when he did and it was confusing her to no end. The man had just flat out admitted he had been staring at her like some creepy stalker and yet his touch seemed capable of settling the storm of anxiety in her while starting another storm in her that was much more hot and salacious. Perhaps I am crazy. She thought. That has to be it, someone’s touch shouldn’t be driving me this wild. “Why did you decide to leave early?” Jag broke the silence, his voice much more gentle now but still deliciou

    Spending the afternoon with Kal had been wonderfully refreshing and while Camille's brain felt like it was going to explode from all the things Kal told her about his world and stories about growing up, She was glad she had gone. It had been nice to be able to spend time with someone other than Charlotte and Camille didn’t fear. Kal never once made her feel uncomfortable either. In fact he was a perfect gentleman which really was a surprise given that human men weren’t even capable of that anymore. Camille was quickly learning the dynamic of the three draygonian soldiers' friendship. Kal was an adventurer at heart and so it didn't surprise her that he had taken to learning about earth with such eagerness. His insight into his friends also helped shape Camille's opinion of them further, especially Jag. She still thought he was bossy and too blunt but she now understood why he was so serious all of the time. That said, she wasn't in a rush to see him again. Her read of Sid had also been

    Camille hated how calm and smooth Jag was being. He was being too nice which already had Camille on high alert but Donnie seemed oblivious. Perhaps it was only Camille that Jag was a complete asshole to…no, that wasn’t right. She remembered what Charlotte had told her. Jag was an asshole to everyone so why was he being so courteous now? “So, what are these terms?” Jag asked once they were seated. "Emma has requested that on Thursdays she be finished by five pm and no later." Donnie started, peering through horn-rimmed glasses at the tablet in his hand. "She had also put a stipulation in that should she feel that the position isn't suitable then she only has to give one week's notice." "Three weeks and what's so important about Thursdays?"It sounded more like a demand than a curious question and it took everything in Camille not to shrink back under that authoritative gaze. The requests didn't seem to bother Jag in the slightest as if he had been prepared for them. Perhaps he had e

    "You did really well today, Emma!""Oh I don't know…"Camille wasn't sure if Sid was being truthful or was just really positive but Camille's hot and sweaty body certainly didn't feel like it was doing well. She hadn't known what to expect when she attended the Krai-Na but she certainly hadn't expected to be thrown in at the deep end or for Charlotte to have to bail at the last second. She could have easily scurried away then but she couldn't keep relying on Charlotte to do everything. She was a grown-ass woman after all."I'd say you're a natural." The Draygonian shrugged, arms crossed over his chest and a grin across his face that showed off his perfectly white teeth and those sharp fangs. "Trust me, I've been practising Krai-Na since I could walk.""Alright but I think my legs are going to disagree with you tomorrow." Camille laughed.Despi

    "Any dizziness or blacking out?""No.""And have you been eating and sleeping okay?""I have nightmares but I don't feel tired."The doctor glanced up at the mention of headache, her kind brown eyes assessing the blonde for the briefest of moments before looking back at her screen to make further notes.It had been over an hour since the painful headache had come on leaving Camille trembling and her nose bleeding. However after half an hour the pain was gone and it felt like nothing had happened. Despite this, Charlotte had insisted on Camille seeing the doctor and had all but dragged her to the infirmary situated within the Ark. Now they were sitting in an examination room with Doctor Patricia Philips, the young doctor making sure to do a thorough exam of her patient."It is possible that you suffered a cluster headache which mi

    Jag didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed or remorseful about torturing Emma when she had come through the door that morning. His curiosity had him deciding to test the bond that was forming between Emma and the three draygonian warriors, not because he didn't feel it because goddesses, he felt it, but because he wanted to see if their human was starting to feel the effects of the Isis gene reacting to their pheromones. He certainly hadn't been disappointed either.The way Emma's eyes had widened at the half-naked sight of Jag and how her aura had suddenly saturated with her arousal had left Jag a little smug. It had taken every ounce of his restraint not to scoop the beautiful creature before him into his arms and carry her to his bed to mate her as well but that didn't stop him from doing what he could to keep her near him.The feel of her flesh under his hand had felt like sweet bliss and he had enjoyed drinking in her sce

    "I'll pull all the personnel files from our base to compare them with what Kal and the techs find and make sure everyone's backgrounds check out." Sid explained to Jag as they headed back to Jag's quarters.Sid could tell his friend was frustrated not only by the recent developments and lack of answers but because it felt like their female was completely oblivious to their bond. Admittedly they hadn't been around her all that much and unlike Draygonian women, humans were not educated to know what the signs were. Still, Sid understood the frustration all too well. He wished they could just tell Emma the truth and mark her but they had agreed slow and steady would be best."Thanks Sid." Jag replied, opening his door to a very quiet apartment.Normally Hunter was on them in a second, eager for attention and to stretch his legs; however, the taego was nowhere in sight and neither was a certain blonde human.

    Kal was a bit too tired to be cleaning up Jag's messes and normally he would have just ignored it but this time was different. This time Jag had gone and upset their mate all because she had tried to do something nice for him. Sometimes Kal couldn't help but wonder if his best friend had his setting permanently stuck on grumpy. There was no denying Jag was not only stubborn but also had a temper yet there was more to him than that. It just so happened that very few people saw it.That wasn't an excuse for yelling at Emma though and Kal wasn't about to give up Emma even if Jag seemed to be doing everything in his power to scare her off.It was for this reason that he was standing outside of an apartment at seven am. One hand was carefully balancing coffees while he used his other hand to knock on the door.There was a few seconds of long silence and then the door cracked open, tired blue eyes looking up

    You are not going back to that man!” Camille was pretty sure that if their door was capable of being slammed, Jag would have slammed it as he stormed into their apartment behind her. She had known her plan wouldn’t go down well but that didn’t deter her from it. She had all but made up her mind. If this was their only shot at flushing Nathan out of his hiding place then Camille was going to make sure they took it. It was one thing when it was just her being victimised but now innocent bystanders were getting hurt. “Camille!” The warning growl pulled the blonde from her thoughts and she turned to face her male. She wasn’t surprised to see his anger or the concern in his eyes and yet it still made her heart ache. Despite his gruffness and stoic exterior, Jag still had emotions and right now, he was as equally scared as Camille was about the whole situation. It felt like the walls were closing in around them with combat quickly becoming the only way out. They couldn’t let that happen

    Camille wouldn’t lie, she was still suspicious of Sia’s motives and yet as agreed, she was sitting at a small round dining table that Sia had insisted on being set up in Sid’s room. She could still see in her mind the look on the doctor’s face when she had seen what was going on.“This isn’t a hotel!” “Are you telling me that you would deny a mother the chance to eat dinner with her son after he nearly died?” Sia had been as intimidating as ever in that moment. It wasn’t that she was aggressive or threatening violence but she certainly made it clear how difficult she would make everyone’s life if she didn’t get her way. Just her presence commanded attention and respect like a General in front of their men.Needless to say, the doctor had quickly walked away, putting an end to the disagreement.In a way Camille was impressed. It took skill to be able to carry something like that off without barely saying anything. But Camille also had dealt with enough intimidating people in her life

    “You should be resting.” “I could say the same to you.” Camille frowned at Sid’s retort, watching as the giant male moved himself carefully from his bed to a wheelchair with all the precision of someone who had done this before. It was only when Sid had made himself comfortable that Camille took a seat in one of the chairs on the hospital room. Outside fat droplets of rain pelted against the window turning the grey sky, buildings and lights from vehicles and signs into watercolour. Somewhere above them, thunder rolled across the skies. It had been several days since the incident in the tunnels and since then, all anyone could talk about what Nathan and Tina. Their pictures were plastered on every news channel, newspaper, website and social media platform just like Jag had promised. Not only were the military looking for them but so were NYPD and the FBI. There was literally nowhere to hide and yet they had both gone to ground. Predictably EFHA were resisting any pressure to give u

    For what had to be the umpteenth time in the last forty eight hours, Jag found himself pressing the tips of his fingers into his closed eyes to try and relieve the pressure from a looming headache. He was careful to ensure that outwardly he appeared calm and unfazed but even the most seasoned soldier would find themselves fighting off a stress headache with everything that was going on. And it seemed like literally everything was going on and none of it was working in their favour. “Digital forensics turned up nothing on EFHA or Matthews.” Kal announced as he walked into the room, dressed in his usual uniform and white hair neatly combed back. He looked like he had showered after a good night’s sleep but that couldn’t be further from the truth. “The only telling thing is that everyone fell into radio silence over usual channels about four months ago. They must have found new ways of communicating to ensure they were never tracked.” “Not surprising. They would have known their digita

    Camille didn’t even have a chance to register what Sia had just announced before the woman was off out the door. Speechless was perhaps an understatement for how Camille felt and she tried to get her brain to compute while also trying to dampen down the alarm and panic rising up inside of her. She didn’t want to go to Draygon. At least, not like this. Earth, despite all the history Camille had there, was her home and it hadn’t even crossed her mind to leave. That seemed absurd! At least, right now it did. She couldn’t imagine why she would agree to the whole thing but at the same time, Camille got the impression that her agreement wasn’t necessary. She had no time to object though. Everything around her moved on while Camille found her mind frozen in alarm. Before she knew it, she was standing in the infirmary hallway as Jag and Sia discussed something with the doctor. In fact, it was the warmth of someone’s hand on her lower back that helped ground Camille once again. “You look like

    The scent of coffee and the feeling of Hunter’s snout bumping against her hand roused Camille from her slumber. She felt like she had slept for a lifetime and yet her exhaustion was bone deep, weighing her down. Trying to open her eyes felt like a struggle but in the back of her mind she realised that it was now morning and hopefully Sid had made it through the night. That glimmer of hope was enough to chase away the last foggy layers of sleep from her head and Camille forced her eyes open. It took a couple of blinks for the sleep to leave her vision and everything to come into focus, but eventually Camille found herself staring at Hunter as he rested his giant head on the edge of the bed. The poor guy could sense something was wrong and hand been pacing the apartment. He looked tired and miserable which Camille could relate to all too well. “You’re awake.” Camille glanced up, her exhausted mind taking a moment longer than necessary to register that Jag was stood in the doorway of h

    She watched as the small silver speck in the sky grew closer until she could make out the full detail of the aircraft. The peachy light from the setting sun turned the silver body of the ship into copper. The day was coming to a close but the new nightmare Camille found herself in was far from over.There’s been an incident. Her eyes followed the aircraft as it slowed down and began to descend smoothly towards the landing pad. A group of people were waiting patiently for the ship to land before they moved swiftly towards it. It felt like the scene unfolding Down on the landing pad was a million miles away from and yet everything unfolding was linked to her.It was meant to have been a routine trip. They had been planning it for weeks, staking out the property and monitoring everyone’s movement. So how had this happened? How had Nathan gotten away? How had someone manage to detonate a bomb?

    Whoa, This place is amazing!” “Thanks,” Camille laughed nervously, cheeks turning red as she followed Charlotte inside. “I think the guys went a little overboard.”Neither Jag nor Kal had returned that evening which Camille had expected but had still found herself disappointed by. It was bad enough Sid was on some mission for god knows how long but Camille knew that there was a reason for it all. Come the morning, Camille had decided she had sulked enough and it was time for her to do some of her investigating. Ever since she had found out that Nathan had been behind everything that had happened, Camille had become determined to find out how he had managed to pull everything off so easily. Camille’s details being found amongst the LA Ark’s deleted employee files had told Camille that Nathan had someone working for him that could pull off planting files and hack systems. But hackers didn’t just go around announcing they were hackers so, Camille needed help figuring out how to flush t

    "Did she like it then?” “Jag seems to think so.” “I knew it.” “Sid, Kal, focus.” Jag spoke up, interrupting his best friends’ conversation. It wasn’t that he wanted to be the serious one right now. He too wanted to discuss how their surprise for Camille had gone but, they had a job to do. In just a few minutes, they would have apprehended Nathan and this whole ordeal would be over. This mission was no doubt for the greater good but this time it felt personal. Jag had no illusions that when he finally came face with Nathan that it would take everything in him not to tear the piece of shit limb from limb. And it wouldn’t even be about what the man had been involved in. Not entirely. No, this man had laid is hands on Camille. He had hurt her, abused her and then turned her into his unwitting spy. He dreaded to think what would have happened if Camille hadn’t met them. “Alright, we are approaching the target.” Sid spoke up, taking on a slightly more serious tone. “All units are in po
