The Krinar Code

by Emma Castle

  Krinar males are possessive. Truth.

  Krinar males will not let another man touch what they believe is theirs. Truth.

  But she wasn’t his. She was her own person, and she would never belong to anyone the way Soren seemed to want her to belong to him.

  She rejoined Soren in the foyer of the library just as Ackerman and the two Krinar professors returned.

  “There is something so amazing about your books,” Driana said with a soft, appreciative smile. “I feel sorrow for the trees destroyed, yet the books themselves with their stories and knowledge pay tribute to the plants that bore them.”

  Jaks nodded sagely. “Well said.”

  Bianca watched the two alien professors, still surprised by their genuine warmth and friendliness. She had only ever met Krinar like Soren before, the kind who dealt with politics and those who had conquered the world. It was easy to imagine the Krinar as only bloodthirsty warriors, not like these inquisitive and kind Krinar. They had shown only respect and curiosity for her world and the lives of the college students. There had been no condescension, no looking down their noses at their primitive human ways.

  “Well.” Ackerman smiled at the group. “I think we’ve seen enough today. You’re welcome back anytime before August, of course. I’ll have your offices prepared in the buildings belonging to your respective fields of study, medicine, and Krinar and human biology.”

  “Biology?” Bianca couldn’t resist piping up. “Which one of you is teaching that?”

  Driana grinned. “I am. Is that an interest of yours?”

  “Yes!” Bianca said, forgetting for a moment about Soren, who had come up close behind her.

  “I’m studying marine biology. I would love to speak with you about Krinar marine life, if you are familiar with it. I won’t be here this fall since I’m graduating, so I’ll miss your class. Can I meet with you instead?”

  Driana’s gaze drifted above Bianca’s head to something behind her, the female K’s expression searching for a moment before she smiled again and nodded.

  “Soon. Very soon, little one,” Driana promised. She held out her hand and caressed Bianca’s face, and Bianca, thrilled at the prospect of talking to a Krinar biologist, returned the greeting with a smile. Her heart was bursting with excitement as she watched the university president escort Jaks and Driana away.

  Then only she and Soren were left, along with her security detail.

  “Show me to your dorm, Bianca.” Soren’s command was gentle, but it was still an order. He reached out to catch one of her hands as he said this, his warm palm covering hers completely. She knew he wouldn’t let her go if she tried to pull away. Domination shone in his gaze, even if it was gentled by a soft half smile. She bristled at his command, but she didn’t say anything. She headed off to her room, her hand still entwined with his.

  She was doomed. There was no preventing whatever was to come.
