The sky was chaos as the ships began to launch, taking as many soldiers with them as they could carry. Melinda was on one of those ships, I knew, and I closed my eyes, overwhelmed with pain at the thought of never seeing her beautiful face again.
But there was no choice. Hand-to-hand combat with the Vellreq king was impossible, and none of our weapons seemed capable of penetrating his armor. The other Vellreq were just as strong, and report after report of Thressl’n death was reaching my bangle. I tore it off my arm and threw it in the back of the cave. It was time to end this once and for all.
I quickly typed in the sequence to the bomb that had been embedded in the core of Jenal’k since the early days of the Old Ones after a premonition had encouraged them to build it for the ultimate case of self-defense. I would do anything to serve my people and protect the one I loved. And that was all there was to it.
Suddenly, the ground began to quake around me, and I bolted out of the caves. I was going to fight Korta to the death, and go down fighting my hearts out.
Korta was surprised when I jumped out in front of him, but grinned maliciously.
“Where is the female?” he demanded. “I want her to see you die.”
“You will never harm her again,” I said. Although I was afraid, I knew that this was the end for both of us, and I found that unbelievably satisfying.
“I will harm you,” King Korta promised, unleashing a deep, ugly roar and running toward me, drawing out a long blade.
I dodged just in time and pulled my own out, ready to duel to the death. He roared in anger and whipped around to strike at me, but his body was large and cumbersome, and his movements slow. I struck at his legs with my blade, and he roared again, this time in pain.
The ground was rumbling again as the bomb began to detonate, and Korta looked down at the ground in confusion. I smiled at him, and his face fell with uncertainty. I glanced to the sky, where my men’s ships were launching to safety.
Another tremor shook the ground, and a sudden, deafening bang exploded in my ears. I dropped to the ground, blackness filling my eyes. Even as I sank into the darkness, I smiled. I had done what I’d intended. I had saved the universe.

“Aloitus.”
I grimaced as a brilliant white light flooded my eyelids. I must be dead, heading down the long tunnel of light to meet the Fates.
“Aloitus!”
Melinda’s voice echoed in my ears, and I looked for her face, but the light was just too bright. I closed my eyes again and grunted, trying to move my hand to feel her body against my fingers.
But my arm suddenly filled with agonizing pain, and Melinda’s beautiful voice chuckled.
“Be careful,” she whispered, clasping my hands with her own. Their warmth filled me with the purest joy I had ever felt, and again I attempted to open my eyes. This time, a dark blur eclipsed the light, and I began to make out the perfect features of Melinda’s face. “That’s it. Slowly.”
“Melinda? Did you die too?” I asked.
The whole room about me exploded in laughter, and I startled. Everybody quieted at once, and Melinda rubbed my shoulder soothingly.
“It’s all right,” she said gently. “You’re not dead.”
“How…how is that possible? What about Korta?”
“You won,” Melinda said. My eyes were beginning to adjust to the light, and I opened them wide, taking in the unbelievable sight of Melinda’s smiling face. Around the bed were the highest ranking officials of Jenal’k, and several of the Old Ones. It was rare to see them in such a brightly lit space.
“How is that possible?” I asked. “I was to die with my planet.”
“But Aloitus,” Laike intervened, stepping beside Melinda and beaming down at me. “The planet is alive!”
I gasped and sat up, ignoring the immense pain flooding my body.
“What?”
“It is true!” Zerk’k said, stepping to my bedside. “None of us thought it would be possible!”
“But it happened,” Commander Wyl’es said. “The air fleet held its own against the Vellreq army, with the help of Laike’s new weapon.”
“But that doesn’t explain what happened to Korta,” I said, struggling to remember.
“Fate intervened!” Laike said strongly, his face the most serious I had ever seen it. “Your blade pierced the deepest vein in his body.”
I furrowed my brow, and Melinda soothed my hair. The Leader of the Old Ones stepped forward and continued the explanation.
“It rendered him unable to move,” the Old One said, “just as the magnetic field within Jenal’k was activated. Laike’s weapon was able to lock onto him as a conductor as it attempted to feed from the magnetic pulse to charge its attacks. A powerful burst of energy channeled the force of the bomb through the channel of the laser of Laike’s weapon.”
“The explosion was enough to kill him. And knock the sense out of you,” Melinda said, laughing softly and stroking my face gently.
“It broke the shield though,” Laike said with a heavy sigh. “But it was beautiful! I will never doubt Fate again.”
I shook my head in disbelief and reached out for Melinda’s hands. She set them in mine, and I held her tightly.
“I thought I would never see you again,” I whispered.
“All right,” the Old One said quickly. “Let’s give the Supreme Leader a rest now. It has been quite a day.”
Everybody began to file out of the room, but when Melinda attempted to leave, I held her firmly in place.
“I love you too,” I said. I had regretted not saying it to her when she had been forced to leave, and now I finally had my chance to make it right. “I am sorry for being harsh with you. I was worried about all of this…but you are safe now. And if you wish, I will return you to Earth. The Vellreq will no longer be able to harm you.”
Melinda smiled down at me, cry glittering in her eyes, and I found myself captivated wholly by her beauty.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Melinda whispered, kissing my forehead gently. “I already thought I was going to lose you twice. I never want to lose you again.”
I studied her, reluctant to believe my ears.
“Really,” Melinda said seriously, looking deeply into my eyes. “I want to stay with you.”
I swallowed hard, overcome with joy. I held Melinda close to my body and laughed, kissing her sweet-smelling hair. I had my mate, and my people were safe. For the first time in my life, I felt truly happy.
***
Recovery seemed to take ages, but within a few revolutions my arm was nearly back to normal, and the Old One had cleared me to return back to the palace.
Peko and the rest of the staff hovered about me obnoxiously, worried about my injuries, but Melinda was able to gently steer them to more useful tasks.
“Is it good to be home?” she asked after she had helped me change into my sleeping clothes and settle into bed.
“I’m not sure yet,” I admitted with a small laugh. “I don’t enjoy all this attention.”
Melinda grinned and climbed into bed with me, laying her head on my good shoulder. “Not all attention is good.”
“Indeed not,” I said, turning to study her beautiful face. She smiled at me, and I kissed her tenderly. We had been through so much, but soon, the ceremony was to take place, officially declaring her as my bride.
I was shocked by the sudden pulse of heat that woke within my loins, and Melinda closed her eyes as if basking in my body. It intensified my longing for her, and I held her close, my hands exploring every inch of her soft, supple body.
Melinda gasped softly against me, climbing on top of me carefully so that I could feel the heat of her middle press gently against the hard mound of my groin. Shots of bliss electrified me deeply, and I held her close to my body, basking in the pleasure of her nearness.
Melinda’s clear eyes bore into mine, and she kissed me suddenly, her soft, supple lips tugging my own and her beautiful body moving on t
op of me with gentle deliberation, rousing my desire and sending a rush of blood to my already stimulated member.
She smiled at me when she felt my body reacting to her movements, and carefully pulled her shirt off from over her head and untied the rope that held my bedclothes closed.
Melinda gasped quietly at the sight of my body, breathless and ready for her. Her soft hands roamed up and down my torso, and I closed my eyes as the pleasure engulfed me.
The heat of her middle suddenly overwhelmed me, and I moaned deeply, tendrils of pleasure creeping up through my abdomen. Melinda’s soft body pressed gently against me as our mouths met again and again, each time with more passion than the last. Her hands gripped mine, and I began to rock my hips gently, pushing myself deeper inside her.
Melinda gasped softly, a deep red flush coloring her cheeks attractively. She lowered long-lashed eyelids over her eyes and allowed me to hold her in place as I began to thrust gently inside of her, a hot surge of ecstasy filling us both with every slight movement. I caught one of her soft breasts in my mouth as we continued our dance, my tongue massaging it until I could feel her trembling with pleasure against me.
I closed my eyes, overwhelmed with rapture as I disappeared inside of Melinda’s body again and again. She moaned softly as I massaged her to the brink of climax, our bodies entwined and writhing as the pleasure overpowered us.
Melinda lowered her lips onto my neck and massaged it with her tongue, sending deep thrills down my body and igniting a deep fire within my abdomen. I was beginning to feel an urgent desire to release myself, to plant a seed within her and truly begin the revitalization of the Thressl’n race. But we were not wed yet. Would it be wise?
I gazed into Melinda’s eyes and gripped her hair, bringing her lips to mine. When we pulled apart, both of us panting as our bodies continued to gratify themselves, I smiled at her.
“I want us to have children,” I said. “It is the only way to continue the race of people. You gave me the will to live. To fight this. Even with all the distractions of your body. You should be the first to birth a child of the new realm. You are going to be my bride. Do you accept?”
Melinda’s flushed face broke out into a gentle, beautiful smile. “I accept.”
Her lips fell against mine, and a gasp of pleasure escaped them. I roared softly as a shocking wave of desire began to animate my body. Despite my injury, I flipped Melinda onto her back and climbed on top of her. Melinda’s breasts rose and fell as she panted in surprise and anticipation, and soon I plunged deep inside of her once again.
Melinda’s soft voice groaned as again and again I brought her to the brink of pleasure, only to pull away just when I knew I could cause her to overflow. I wanted to soak in every moment of her beautiful body beneath me, the moments before she was officially my wife and the mother of the first child of the new realm.
Suddenly, her eyes met mine, and a serious look of need crossed her face. It was cruel to make her wait, and knowing of her desperation was enough to send a jolt of longing, electrifying my entire body.
I unleashed my full strength upon her then, my hips powerful against Melinda’s as I indulged her desires, until finally I could feel her begin to quake and contract around me. The blissful friction of our bodies brought me to a deep state of rapture, and I growled as our orgasms began to synch up. A sudden, powerful wave of hot desire rushed out of me, exploding inside of Melinda. She gripped my shoulders, bracing herself against the power of her own orgasm, and we held each other tightly as Fate decreed the siring of the first born child of the New Realm.
