When none of them said anything, I simply took my laser gun and killed the one on the left. I wasn’t going to waste time on them, scaring them was the fastest way. The remaining slavers whimpered, obviously I had achieved my goal.
“So,” I began. “When you came here the first time, you brought the human called Ella. You also had her sister, Sia, on board. Where did you take her?” Weighing the gun in my hand, I looked them in the eyes one after another. The captain had been a coward, had blown his own brains out before we could get to him.
The soldiers, who stood beside me, knew what the humans had done. Females had always been precious to us—after all, they had given us life, had raised us. We all despised the human men for their actions. When I broke the arm of one of them, I saw approval in my soldiers’ eyes. Perhaps war had made us a little bloodthirsty. Fucking Rakes.
Some of the females we had saved from the slavers today, already had decided that they wanted to stay here—like Ella, they, too, had no one waiting for them back on Earth. Hopefully they would find happiness with some of my subjects and forget the ordeal which they had been forced to go through. I could already see our people thriving again. Perhaps our scientists were right, perhaps Ella and I just hadn’t had any luck, yet. Conceiving could take a while, they had told me.
“I want lists—all the women you have stolen and to whom you have sold them.” To emphasize my words I shot another, then another of the human males.
As soon as my gun was pressed at the next man in line, he crumbled. “It’s on the ship, the captain had a notebook—everything’s in there!” Was he hoping that I was going to let him live? With a predatory smile I regarded him.
“You’ll bring it to me.” With a nod I insinuated my second-in-command, Lore, to take the human back to the ship, grab the notebook, and come back here.
Lore was as tall as me, the human wouldn’t have any chance trying to overpower him. I wasn’t worried at all while waiting for them to return. When he did, Lore’s golden eyes were narrowed. “He tried to pull a gun on me, so I kind of ripped his arm off.” He shrugged. “Humans are fragile.”
“You’ll need to be more careful with your female,” I said mildly, not caring that the human was bleeding out in front of us. Lore grunted something intangible. He’d always been a grumpy fellow but he got the job done. “You got the notebook?”
Without a word he just pushed it in my hands. After I had examined it, I recognized that the captain had indeed kept lists of his cargo. “We’ve got everything that we need,” I told the soldiers in the room, after I had closed the notebook. Within seconds all the slavers were dead, smoke rose from their bodies, while we put away our laser guns. The job was done, now the rescue mission began.
Unfortunately, the slavers had sold more than a thousand women already, some of them would be lost forever. There were species in this galaxy who saw them as exotic food, not as servants, sex slaves, or anything else. We would do our best to save as many as possible.
During the next few hours, we planned and assembled small rescue teams which would journey to other planets, find and take the human females without detection. Then they would be brought back to Krotan, where they would be nursed back to health. We would bring them back to Earth, if they wanted to, but of course they would be welcomed to stay on Krotan with opened arms, too.
From all the human females on the list, Ella’s sister was the only one who’d also been sold to a king. We couldn’t just take her and hope that no one would notice us because we would be risking war. We’d just barely survived the Rakes; although we were a strong warrior people, another war really wasn’t what we needed. Hence we had to take a different approach with Sia.
When I entered my suite hours later, Ella was on edge. Pacing the room, she immediately came to a halt and rushed towards me as soon as I had opened the door. “What happened? Did you find out where they brought Sia?” She clutched my shirt, looking up at me with pleading eyes. I hated seeing her this agitated and worried about her sister, it made my stone-cold heart ache. It was strange really.
Absently rubbing over my chest, then laying my hands over hers, I told her: “I know where she is, I’ll do everything to get her back.” My Ella rewarded me with a watery smile, which I sealed with a kiss. “It’s going to be okay.”
“You promise?” she whispered.
“I promise it to you, little one.” Looking deeply into her eyes, I nodded.
“Okay.” She brushed the tears from her eyes and straightened. There it was—her inner strength. “When do we go?”
“You’re not coming with me.”
“Yes, I am!” Folding her arms in front of her chest she raised an eyebrow. Obviously she’d already made up her mind.
Even though I hated the idea of bringing her with me and putting her in danger, I could understand her wish to come with me. I would have done everything to protect my little brother. When I watched him die during battle against the Rakes, I felt like dying myself. Ella wanted to fight for her sister, too, how could I deny her that? I liked her strength, I adored her fighting spirit. Krotans honored strength, she was more Krotan than she knew.
“I won’t let you out of my sight.”
“Don’t go all caveman on me! Just give me one of your guns and I’ll be fine.” Sweetly she smiled at me.
At the sight of her the strangest thing happened, a bubbly feeling crawled up my throat and suddenly…I was laughing. I couldn’t remember when I had done so for the last time, probably before the war with the Rakes, years ago. Shocked, the laughter quickly died, but Ella grinned even wider, patting my chest and whispering: “You could do that more often.”
We'd only known each other for such a short time but she already made me so fucking happy.
Quickly we got our things and only a few hours later we were on one of our destroyers—a large spaceship which was as fast as can be and above all had the deadliest weapons on board. Ella’s sister wasn’t far away but on the neighboring planet called Xsto. We’d never had problems with them, like us they kept to themselves. I could only hope that they had been lied to by the slavers and didn’t know what they really had been part of. Otherwise my destroyer was ready.
With a hand on Ella’s lower back I brought her on board with me. At the doors my soldiers saluted us, they’d quickly accepted their new queen—either because they saw that I was obsessed with her and would hurt everybody who dared only looking at her funny, or they saw her inner strength, too, and respected her for it. I brought her to the captain’s suite, impressed of her at how calmly she was taking in all of this.
“We’ll need approximately twelve hours until we arrive at Xsto, take a nap, little one.” Gently I pushed her towards the bed. Instead of lying down, she turned around.
With her big, beautiful eyes she looked up at me. Did she know that I was lying? I had been told to have the perfect poker face, she couldn’t suspect a thing, I was sure. “You’ll wake me before we arrive?”
I simple nodded. With that I reached for her, tracing the line of her jaw with my fingertips. Her skin was so soft and warm, I could never get enough of it. Dipping my head down, I kissed her goodbye. When she woke, her sister would be in safety and we all would be back home out of danger.

Of course I knew he was lying. He was protective as hell and it had killed him to even bring me with him on this spaceship. Most likely he wanted to spare me emotional distress. At the thought, my heart fluttered—never before had anybody but my sister been so worried about me. He cared. And I loved it.
Nonetheless I wouldn’t just stay in his suite, waiting for him to save my sister. I needed to be there, see what was going on and help, if I could. Therefore I left the suite as soon as I noticed that the ship had slowed down. Only three or four hours had passed and we must have already reached our destination.
I had no idea where I was going, but every time when I stumbled upon one of Krian’s soldiers, I just pretended to know exactly wh
ere I was going. It worked! Or at least none of them tried to stop me. Fifteen minutes or so later I finally found the bridge. The doors were open, thus I already heard Krian’s dark, demanding voice from afar.
“You’ve bought a human female as a slave, who has been stolen from planet Earth. This is a violation of the intersolar law §214.35. I demand that you surrender her to us.”
Oh, he sounded sexy as hell when talking business. Above all he was fighting for my sister and nothing could make him any more attractive in my eyes.
“I didn’t buy her as a slave, she is here by free will,” someone responded. He was far less reined in than Krian, in contrary he sounded pissed off.
Well, he was a fucking liar! How could Sia have chosen to stay on Xsto, when she had been kidnapped right next to me!
“No, we have a witness who states that the human female called Alessia Bellini, Sia for short, was kidnapped from Earth. Free will has definitely a different definition.”
“How would you know all of this? You bought one yourself, didn’t you?”
This time Krian only growled. The little hairs on my neck immediately rose as if a predator was near and, well, he was one. Fearing that he would lose his temper and that everything was going to go to shit, I finally entered. As soon as I was on the bridge, I could see the giant projection of Krian’s dialog partner…and apparently he could see me, too. His gaze immediately landed on me, wherefore I stopped in my tracks. Recognition flickered in his eyes but I had never seen him before.
At once the angry expression on his face softened. In contrast Krian tensed even more when he turned and saw me. Perhaps he wanted to protect me from the other male?
“You must be Sia’s sister, Ella,” the stranger said, a friendly smile on his face. He had fangs, too, but that was the only similarity between him and the Krotans. His ears were tipped and his hair seemed thick and wild, there was something…wolfish about him. “Sia, baby, I know you’re eavesdropping, come in. There’s someone you’ll want to see.” While he spoke, he turned away from the camera. Did the guards in his back snicker? Well, I had imagined a cruel king who bought slaves and did who know’s what to them, quite differently.
Suddenly my sister rushed through a door, running toward the camera and the supposedly cruel king, tried to push him aside, and immediately began to cry. “Ella! Ella, how are you? Are you okay? Please say you’re okay! I was so worried about you.” She was a hot mess, sobbing, crying, and smiling all at the same time.
Shocked at the turn of events, I needed a second. With a start I walked forward and positioned myself next to Krian, a bright smile on my face. Apparently my sister was okay, the King of Xsto couldn’t be so bad when my sweet little sister had obviously wrapped him around her little finger without even knowing so. He stroked her back in a calming manner, while she just cried and babbled on. Laughing, I leaned myself against Krian, he wrapped an arm around my waist so that I could let myself fall against his side. Relief was a great feeling, warmth spread throughout my whole body.
“Thank you,” I whispered and smiled up at him.
Chapter 7
► Krian ◄
After the incident on the bridge, we had been allowed to land on Xsto, the sisters had run into each other’s arms, chatted and laughed joyfully the rest of the day. Meanwhile, King Rason of Xsto and myself had talked business. He’d agreed to help the Krotans find the rest of the kidnapped human females and our planets were soon going to start trading with each other. After all, our queens were sisters. Yes, Sia had gotten lucky, too, and it was clear that they would want to visit each other regularly in the future.
Eventually we said our goodbyes and went on the way back. Lore, my second-in-command, was on the bridge, while I was carrying a sleepy Ella into our suite. “Are you happy, little one?” I asked, when laying her down onto the bed. The sweet smile she gave me made me forget everything around us.
“Very happy,” she answered.
“I’m glad.” Crouching next to the bed, I reached out to stroke a few strands of hair out of her face. She was so damn beautiful.
“What if I weren’t wearing any panties?” she suddenly asked with a mischievous grin.
In reaction I growled, burying my hand in her hair. “Then I would say that I don’t like you walking around without underwear in front of my soldiers.”
Despite my tone, she kept on smiling. “Because I’m yours?”
“Damn right. You are mine.” The only question was if she wanted to be mine. Before I could ask her, she reached out to me and gently stroked my jawline. I loved her soft touch.
“Come to bed,” she whispered like a siren.
“You’re tired.” Shaking my head, I forced myself to hold back.
“No, I’m snuggly and needy,” she contradicted with a hooded gaze, reaching around my neck and pulling me forward. I was only a man and she was everything I had ever wanted.
Giving in I got rid of my clothes, all the while feeling her eyes on me. My body reacted instantly, soon I was hard as a rock—I almost always was for her. When I stepped to the bed she rose on her knees, laid her hands on my chest, and began to trace kisses from my abs up to my neck. Her long hair was falling over one of her shoulders, tickling my skin, while she was leaning into me. For a moment I let myself go, closed my eyes and enjoyed every last one of her kisses. Her hot breath was burning me, her warm lips felt like silk and her sweet, wet, little tongue made my toes curl.
When I opened my eyes again, I fisted the hem of her dress and pulled it over her head. Indeed she wasn’t wearing any panties and her heavenly scent was wafting towards me. “Are you wet?” I rasped out, opening her bra and pushing the straps off her shoulders so that it fell from her body.
“Yes,” she whispered, and when she licked her lips, my cock ached.
Crowding her backwards until she lay beneath me on the mattress, I opened her thighs for me. With one hand I stroked up and down her left thigh, never touching her where she so badly needed it. Whimpering she bit her lower lip. Only then did I touch her clit, circling it with my thumb while pushing one finger into her hot, wet heaven. Immediately her inner muscles clamped down on me, reminding me of how amazing it felt like to sink into her.
My hand trembled from want, my heart racing like crazy, when I kneaded her soft, round breasts. Ella was an impossible mixture of strength and tenderness. “Krian.” My name from her lips was the sweetest thing; the needy expression in her eyes and the tone of her voice spoke of her impatience. Who was I to make her wait?
Propping myself on my elbows I brought myself in position. Against the tip of my cock I could already feel her, my forehead propped against hers and I seared us both with a kiss. At the same time, I let myself sink into her. The warmth of her body against my much cooler frame felt like coming home from a storm. She’d brought joy back into my life.
When I rocked into her for the first time, it was slowly and deep instead of hard and fast. With each stroke, she gasped, her hands reaching for my shoulders, holding on to me. “I know it’s crazy,” she whispered, “but I love you.”
It was like pouring gasoline into a flame. How could I hold myself back, when she was giving me so much, making me so happy after years of war and grief? I began pounding into her, my hips working mercilessly while I framed her face with my hands in a desperate attempt to make her understand. As tenderly as I could, I kissed her, breathing heavily against her neck and nibbling at her skin there.
“And I’m pregnant,” she cried out, while scratching over my back.
Fuck, that felt good! A millisecond later I realized what she'd just told me. She was pregnant? My eyes widened; happiness raced through me like a lightning strike. Krotan was saved, our people would live on. Relief made me feel lightheaded, shivering I kissed her again. “You’re mine,” I whispered against her lips. “I love you”—no matter how crazy it was—“and you make me happy.” She was going to give me a baby, something I had deemed impossible only a few weeks back. There
was no doubt in my mind that we had been made for each other.
When my words conjured a bright smile on her face, her eyes shone bright with love, I reached between us and stroked her clit again, until she came screaming my name. I followed suit, my cum splashing into her, branding her as mine. She was my queen, soon she was going to be the mother of my child. She was my everything.
