Captive: Nomadican Mates Series 1: Alien Reverse Harem Romance

Screams stung his ears. His body was in such agony, he wished whoever it was would cease their howling. Dragging in a ragged breath, his eardrums got a break, realizing it was him making all the noise. Blasting out the air, he took another deep pull from a gust of wintry wind that whipped across his face. His throat burned from his blood pooling in his mouth, his stomach flipping over from the tinny flavor.
“Wh…” Vex began, choking on the fluid before Lucian turned his head to the side so he could spit. “What happened to us?”
Lucian's eyes were filled with fear as he looked around. “I think we were banished to the Realm of the Living. That soul who escaped must have been what we first thought. And she definitely wasn't supposed to have returned.”
Denying his friend’s logic, there had to be another explanation. Banishments were so few and far between, he could count on one hand the rare occurrences.
Once Lucian determined neither one of them had broken anything on their epic fall from grace, he helped Vex sit up. His head swam, feeling too light.
Reaching up with hands that shook, he laid his aching skull in his palms. Smoothing over his head, he jerked back, astonished at what he'd found... or didn't find in his case—the finality to his disgrace.
Dehorned!
Staring at his hands in disbelief, he rubbed the strangeness of his now rounded skull. He'd heard of this happening when those few had been cast out and sent to live eternity in the Realm of the Living.
Lucian’s words sank to the pit of his stomach, filling him with an awful dread as they rang true. They were doomed to tarry here for eternity.
