BURK POV"I wasn't good enough for Commander Garlof, so I decided he wasn't good enough to escort me," Krystal explains with sass in her soft voice. My eyes dart towards Commander Garlof, who is receiving disapproving stares, and I smirk. He thought because the human females were smaller, he didn't have to respect them as he would the others, and now Krystal has exposed his disrespect to the room. As I return my focus to the females, I am approaching the tallest beauty with chocolate skin places her hands on her curvy hips. "I will kick his butt! You are amazing," she says angrily, and I chuckle slightly at the idea of her fighting against the renowned Commander. She wouldn't even be able to handle a poke from his hand, let alone an all-out fight. But the human females seem just feisty enough to believe they could actually win. What they lack in size, they make up for in spirit, something I have come to respect during my years of fighting. As I continue my approach, I w

I sigh loudly as the door closes, and exhaustion hits me like a tank. I kick off the heels I have worn all day while shoving my fingers into my hair to remove the pins poking my scalp.I was having such a good time. I really like both Tilk and Burk, but when my virginity was brought up, the romantic bubble that I was in popped.They are going to compete against one another in physical combat to win the right to deflower the female of their choosing, and that goes against everything I was ever taught. I realize the other planets are unlike Earth, but I can't shut off what my world engraved in my mind.A knock comes from the other side of my door just as I step towards the bathroom, and I freeze. I hope it isn't one of the guys I just gave the cold shoulder to. I take a deep, reassuring breath and turn back towards the door."Yes," I say as I open the door cautiously, but when I see Zalu on the other side waiting, my nerves evaporate instantly, and I manage to pull a smile to my face."

Fiadh's eyes move around nervously as we listen to the announcer introduce the males we met last night. With each name, rank, and story, the crowd erupts like a volcano. The sound of their many voices causes the walls to shake and Fiadh to become more afraid. Zuri has tried to soothe her, but even her gentle touches seem to be too much for our easily spook-able friend. A few more minutes of this, and Fiadh runs the risk of passing out for sure. "It's okay, Fiadh," Zuri whispers again, and I nod to show my support. Fiadh gives us both a weak smile before looking back toward the door, but her hands don't stop shaking. I wish the room was more inviting. Maybe if the interior was nicer, we could distract her. The bare reddish-orange walls give the room a very cellarish vibe, and there isn't any seating for us to relax. Zalu had warned me before we arrived that this place is just a big arena. It isn't fancy like the place we have been staying, but I don't know if the other corre

"She was giving you a warning, Krystal. Zor's family is considered royalty on Makskin. They have been nominated as rulers since before the war. Some people think they use unsavory means to obtain the position, but I think the planet is just set in its ways. But due to her family, any rumor started by Zor spreads through the worlds like an out-of-control fire. She has influence even if people dislike her. She could make this tournament a very difficult time for you. So even if she is snarky, try to keep your reactions to a minimum," Zalu says as she pins pale blue flowers in my hair.I nod even though I hate having to bite my tongue. People like Zor don't deserve to get their way, but I am not about to mess with alien politics. I was ignorant to the world of drama on Earth. I am definitely out of my eliminate here. "I will just ensure I don't sit next to her again. We don't really have to associate with each other anymore...right," I ask, and I see Zalu nod in the mirror. "Right.

RATED R VIOLENCE The crowd's chants are louder today and almost savage as we make our way towards our seats. Their excitement seems to have distracted them from our late presence, which makes the irritated Kea relax. "Zuri, trade me," I whisper quickly as we get closer, and I see Zor on the end again.Zuri nods while giving me a small smile. She doesn't need me to explain the reason. She heard Zor yesterday. As we take our seats, my eyes focus on the massive grassy field. I keep myself from focusing on the thousands around us by staring at the sand-colored men already poised in the center. Their shoulders and backs have to be three or four times my body width...at least, which seems to be bigger than they were yesterday. "Do they look bigger today," I whisper toward Fiadh, and she nods without taking her bottom lip from between her teeth?Fear slowly begins to creep up my body, and the crowd changes their tone-chants and grunts of excitement or approval stop. But the silence is br

TILK POV "Burk's out for blood," Nole mumbles from behind me, and I peel my eyes off the battle-savvy Hassin. I look back at my Kinmen, and he nods to acknowledge my interest. "Does he have weaknesses," I ask, knowing my inquiry will most likely be met with aggression? Nole has been fighting with Burk since training. No one knows Burk better than his men, and Nole is one of his best.Nole flashes his teeth at me before getting right in my face. He flares his nostrils defensively, but my expression stays neutral. Nole is my equal in every way. He doesn't scare me. A battle between us would be difficult but not impossible to win. His chest buffing isn't intimidating. Burk is my main opponent. "I owe him my skin a hundred times over, Tilk. Asking me for his weakness is an insult. You know he is my Commander. Our blood has been spilled together," Nole growls, and his body expands to display his intent to fight. I smirk. "In the Harvest, you fight anyone and everyone. F

The fights have been consistently gruesome, and even with our newfound yearning, they have been hard to watch.The ground where the fights are happening has turned to mud due to the amount of blood wetting the dirt. After almost every fight, the winning male has run over to a female, including a very handsome Shikaz, who left Zuri beaming. As the next pair of fighters walk out to the center of the field, I instantly recognize Tilk. The two champions position themselves in the center, and my eyes sweep over him eagerly.He looks focused and beautiful as he stares down his opponent, but I get none of the fuzzy feelings I had when I saw Burk. I still cross my fingers in the hope that he will be mine. I enjoyed my dance with him. He is someone I could see myself falling in love with. Burk might not want me, or Tilk might place higher. Either way, I think I would be happy. The man Tilk is facing down has the signature strip of greenish brown scales going down his spine and across his

"We are down to the top twenty-seven champions. Our three-way champion winner Captain Bolis of Vaal has chosen to fight a Bunte. Will the other 26 champions line up, please," the announcer says, and the winners walk out onto the field. My back instantly straightens as I look over the line. I know that my mate might be a male who lost on day one or two but seeing these guys makes me excited. They look so strong and proud to be among the half that is continuing. "You will place your index finger on the screen, and the selector will assign your monster. Good luck, champions," the announcer says, and he approaches the male farthest from our side. "Captain Terrax will be fighting a Latroot...Commander Saz will be fighting a Mangog...Commander Fornis will be fighting a Bunte...Captian Net will be fighting a Zobilo...Captain Cailan will be fighting a Balsig," the announcer continues down the line, and I look over each male slowly until my eyes land on Burk.

"Are you ready," Burk asks softly as he hands me my cup, and I nod even though I feel super nervous. The process of making the drink that will link our systems only required three buttons, and then it began dispensing as if this wasn't one of the most significant moments of my young life. I was expecting at least ten minutes to prepare myself, but it was more like twenty seconds. "Do not feel pressured, Krystal. We can wait. This has been a very traumatic day, and it is late. I do not want you to regret anything," Burk says softly as he watches me stare at my cup hesitantly.I bite my lip while I think over my options. I know that I want Burk. He is definitely the guy for me. I feel a connection to him. A connection that has pushed me to risk my life for him twice. I know my connection will only grow as time passes, so why wait? Yes, it is happening fast, but one thing I have learned in my nineteen years is you never know what will happen tomorrow. What if a bad guy kills Burk or

BURK POV "Krystal," I roar, worried, and my voice thunders through the practically empty building. Zalu pops out of a room, looking alarmed until her eyes spot me. "Where's my mate," I demand in a rather harsh tone, and the female straightens her back in response. "She is meeting with the high council, Commander. She asked me to arrange it. She should be returning promptly," Zalu explains in a rushed voice, and I nod once to show I understand. I don't trust my voice to be respectful enough to answer her with words. My adrenaline has not yet receded from battle, and a female like Zalu deserves my respect. "Would you like something to drink while you wait," Zalu asks just as the all too familiar sound of a transport meets our ears. I move past her without answering, eager to see my mate, and she follows. When I step into the medical room, relief flows through every cell of my body. My mate looks beautiful, healed, and whole even though her gown has been ruined and her

Lights and bright colors flow into view as my eyelids flutter open to reveal a familiar face. "Krystal, my dear friend. I am so happy you are okay," Zalu says as she smiles down at me. I smile at her, and the lack of pain in my jaw surprises me until I realize I am in the same room I came to cure my incurable cancer. "Where's Burk? Is he okay," I ask, and she nods while helping me into a sitting position. "He is still on Gafrop. Garlof was able to transport his entire battle group onto the planet, which created access for the entire allied force. The Gafrops are forfeiting as we speak. The Jahns and Muysocks have cut ties with them. Burk brought you to me a few minutes ago. He made sure I could heal you and then went back. He is making sure his men leave the planet unscathed. I, of course, healed your body. You will be fine now," Zalu explains, and I nod as relief flows through me. "Was the allied force unable to land on that planet before," I ask after a few seconds,

BURK POV Stiff air and motionless land surround us as we move through the outskirts of Gafrops' abandoned cities. My ears are primed for an attack, but no sound can be heard for miles. "Looks like the Gafrops are close to losing this war," Nole says lowly, and I nod while glancing towards an abandoned store. We haven't spotted a living soul in ten miles. Not even an animal. "They probably centralized their population in a well-protected area. But, the lack of wildlife is telling," I reply, and Modok grunts in agreement. A beep comes through my bracelet, and our feet halt instantly. The scanner's report comes through, and Krystal's DNA signature gives me instant relief. She is here!"Seventy...They underestimate us," Nole says as he reads the numbers, and Modok chuckles. "They will transport out. They aren't idiots. We need to move now! Modok set location. We transport to her now. Nole notify Garlof and his men. The scanner will spook them into a new hiding place. We hav

I wish I had some ibuprofen. My jaw feels like it is broken. I know the punctures on my arm are deep, and they hurt, but they are nothing compared to the pounding pain in my face. When we transported an hour ago, my adrenaline was still pretty high, so my pain was tolerable. But with every passing minute, I can feel the swelling in my cheek getting worse."No moving, human. Remain silent," the freakishly tall alien growls as he drops me on a stone floor covered in trash and filth. I nod fearfully while glancing around. This is the first building we have come to. When we transported, we were outside in the middle of a field. But it wasnt like any field I had ever been in. It was dead silent, and the air seemed frozen around us even though it was warm. While the other two Gafrops continue walking out of the room with a now silent Zor, the hateful beast with a mean slap doesn't leave. He approaches a black panel of buttons and begins to type like a mad man. I can't help but watch his

ZOR POV"You look green, human," I whisper harshly as Krystal and the other humans sit down. She reluctantly turns her head my way, and I see dread pass over her features. The feeling is mutual, human. She looks at me for only a moment before turning to watch the Glortinons walk across the field. As she watches, her eyes shift to sadness, and curiosity spikes within me. What does she have to be sad about? She was saved from her fate on her awful planet. She didn't do anything to deserve her standing. None of the human females did. She looks at her comrade, and they take each other's hands. A sense of comfort passes over both females, and I instantly grow jealous and resentful. Yor was always my comfort when my father told me no or forced me to do something I didn't want to do. He was my best friend until we turned eighteen, and he was immediately sent away for training. Krystal glances at me smugly and smirks as if she senses my pain. Hate nearly swallows me within a sing

Silence falls around Zor and me as the other females leave the room. Tension begins to charge the air around us, so I look away from her still body. I don't want anything to do with her, and now that I have proven I am a virgin, she should leave me alone. Burk and I will get to leave Kea for the second time today. She will have to face the consequences of her actions. If she had just let me enjoy my life no one had to know about her. She could have been happy with Garlof. "I was supposed to mate with the best. Commander Burk is gold status, and he was supposed to be mine...How did you lure him away from me so quickly," Zor suddenly demands, and I turn my head back to find her staring at me carefully. "I didn't lure him. I didn't do anything special. I was just me," I reply, and she shakes her head. She looks at the door as if expecting someone to be there, and I let my eyes travel over her perfect body. She could have anyone is wants, but she doesn't base what she wants on

BURK POV My eyes scan Garlof's face again as we wait for the results on our females. His face appears calm, but the slight tick in his eyebrow lets me know he is as anxious as I am. Annoyance and anger fill my mind as I continue to stare. He doesn't glance back at me even though he is fully aware of my gaze. His female is causing all of this because I wouldn't fight for her. She let my rejection hurt her pride, and now my new life is being interrupted. He has to know these things. His mind is as sharp as mine is. "It shouldn't be much longer," Pagin says, and I look towards his tranquil features. Garlof shifts in his seat in my peripheral vision, and my jaw clenches slightly. "What will happen if the results prove that a female lied," Garlof asks, and Pagin glances at me before the male Makskin smirks. "The human would be killed. Earth is under our protection due to the Harvest treaty. They do not send soldiers, so their harvested females are expected to follow every g

Mate. Will. Not. Be. Going. Anywhere. With. You," I snap, and he smirks just as Hij growls from behind me."I will go under two conditions," Krystal says loudly from behind me, and I spin around to find Hij trying to reposition her behind him in a respectful way.She dodges his attempt, and he stops trying to move her. She looks at me for a moment, and I realize her fear is no longer visible. Her eyes look as angry as I feel. She looks strong. Like a soldier prepared for battle and my anger lessens.
