CAPT. CULL POV

I take a deep breath. There is no sense in panicking. This night is meant to be fun and enjoyable. There are an even number of females to males at the tournament. I will leave here with a gorgeous female whom I can build a life with.

I turn my sights toward a group of females I didn't think I would approach but ever since seeing Zuri I have come to realize maybe I would be attracted to one of them. The only thing I have reservations about is their usual desire to have large families.

The three remaining Vaals are all pretty but I set my sights on the one who has simliar features to Zuri's.

"Good evening would you honor me with a dance," I ask trying to sound clear and respectful.

If Zuri is lost to me than this female might be my mate. She smiles and a small twinkle comes to life within her eyes as she accepts my arm.

"It would be a pleasure to dance with you Capt. Cull. My name is Ri," she says sweetly and my mind instantly warms up to the idea of mating her.
