  Description

  Hey all, I’m Quinn.

  I applied for a job which guaranteed travel.

  This was a totally different type of travel, but I’m even more excited for it.

  Another World.

  Getting married to an alien guy is just part of the deal, and I can live with that.

  But I accidently… kinda fell into a young guy—who is like seven feet tall, mind you.

  How was I supposed to know he was going to suddenly stop?

  So we ended up with Luna at Clan Wolf, and now my creative juices are flowing.

  I have many ideas on how to make this little bit of paradise our home.

  But my first mate keeps on insisting I take more mates.

  I’m happy with what I have… that’s until one very flirty Aashi changes my mind.

  Chapter One

  Quinn

  When I arrived on the purple planet Aarzyn, I was prepared for the new life I signed up for. I was hyped and ready for this huge change.

  Being on a new planet, no problems. One I had no information on… I got this.

  Being hitched to an alien guy, no problems. Being hitched to five… I got this.

  Being in a clan with a queen who was out to get me since day one… okay, we have some problems. Like, huge problems.

  I could see why the females ruled the world here; they were huge and scary as hell. What I didn’t get was why, after they asked for more females, were they not accommodating to me at all. They requested us females… They needed females as they didn’t have the numbers to match all the males here, and boy… there were a lot of males. But now I was here and it was as if I was a thorn in their side.

  This queen of Clan Taanin, she didn’t like me at all. I was completely prepared to live as they did; I was set to rough it out here in this hot, humid jungle. I got this, I can do the more primal way of life. But I put my foot down at marrying an asshole. I wouldn’t be married to someone who treated me less than just because I was human and not an Aashi female. I had enough of those type of shitty relationships back on Earth, wasn’t about to start it all again here, on a different planet.

  The worst was when they wouldn’t let me leave to go see one of the girls. I wanted to speak to Luna, Jessica, Elle, Hadley, or Brooklyn. To see how they were doing because, fuck, I was pulling my hair out here in Clan Taanin. Not only did I get a group of six guys escorting me here, but five of them were my Chosen, which in Aashi terms meant they had been picked by the queen herself for me to marry. All of them.

  I was up for a good time with multiple guys. Hell, I had my fair share of threesomes back on Earth, but some of these guys were total assholes. Like, they show up with some king dick and think that was all they have to do… show up? Hell no! It takes effort, communication, and—well yeah—a lot of communication. Because how was I supposed to know I wasn’t meant to touch my healer—my taxke, Tyee.

  How about tell me the rules here, I was the new girl. No one told me about these mating hormones being triggered by touch. Yeah, that was right, if a female touched an Aashi male their puberty basically started happening. Plus, it meant you were going to “choose” them as your mate. I didn’t know this, and I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to choose my healer. Not that I was doing that on purpose, but what was done was done. I can’t take it back.

  Even the other females in the clan wouldn’t speak to me. They didn’t even really speak to each other, I had found, and they hardly left their huts. I guess with five mates they were getting busy a lot. Me, not so much…

  So when a purple guy knocked on my door late last night and asked to borrow healing tools for Luna… Well, hell yeah, I was coming too. I wanted out of here and to move to Clan Wolf where Luna had set up her own clan. But leaving this clan was going to be a bitch.

  I had spoken to Eren and Tyee—the only two I had actually picked as my mates—about wanting to leave so many times since I got here. The only issue was the other Chosen guys weren’t going to let me go that easily. They were not happy with me after I mate bonded with Tyee, and there had been a lot of conflict.

  They wanted me to mate bond them after we had the dumb marriage ceremony. I didn’t and I wouldn’t. I told them that from the beginning. I did touch them, but that was their own fault. They never told me the rules about touching. Just because I touched you, didn’t mean I wanted to be stuck with you for the rest of my life. Hell, if that was how it worked on Earth, no female would ever leave their house.

  “I am gathering a plan to take you to your Loona. Give me two days, do not provoke the queen today, enoh.” Eren stared down at me with his big dark eyes, his hands on his hips. He made me smile… a lot. I loved this big guy. He was the quiet and sweet one but now… not so much. He was a lot more bossy and serious. His brow raised at my smile. He knew I could be a little hot-headed.

  But, ugh, I didn’t want to be stuck here any longer. A week had been too long and I felt suffocated and bored with nothing to do. There was only so much sex to keep me entertained and I didn’t know how those Aashi chicks did it, but my lady parts were needing a break from too much of it and I only had two mates. If I had all five then I wouldn’t be walking anywhere.

  I had so many creative ideas running through my veins. I wasn’t one to ever sit around and relax. I was forever designing and creating new ideas for buildings and houses. I had graduated college with the intention of becoming an architect, but my parents and only brother were tragically killed by a drunk driver and I just spiraled downwards into depression. I pulled myself out only to find my friends had all moved on with their lives, and I n
eeded a change. Hence, being here… big change.

  “Okay, babe. But we will leave, right? I want to go to Luna. She is my friend.” I pulled on his tail to let him know who the boss was around here because he had become a little intense over the last two days. More so since the other guys moved out of our hut, and I wanted him to know who was in charge here. And that was me and would always be me.

  His eyes widened at my pulling his tail and both his tails began to vibrate. I chuckled. I knew his weakness as I stroked my hand further up his tail and closer to the base of it. That set him off so fast. It was like his g-spot and I loved it. I let his tail go before we ended up in the nest again. We really hadn’t left it at all since Tyee, Eren, and I mate bonded, and my poor girly parts were screaming no more. They couldn’t take another pounding right now. No matter how good it was. And it was good.

  “Babe, I will go for a walk. Meet me back here later, and we can have some fun. And then we start packing, okay?” I winked at him and the smile I received in return made my insides all mushy. This guy, fuck, I was lucky the queen picked one decent guy for me. Well, technically she picked him last, he wasn’t supposed to be my first mate, but on the first night here after the ceremony he was my first pick. Which then gave him those cool tattoos on his arms and made him my first mate. When I slept with Tyee, well… the other guys moved out and there has been tension in the clan ever since.

  The clan was pretty big. Lots of huts around the area, food everywhere, and I knew Eren was lingering behind me somewhere, even though I said I would be fine. It was getting dark; the evening was always nicer to go for a walk. No fog, plus, a little cooler. The single guys in the clan here just stared mostly. None of them had ever spoken to me, I guess my appearance made them a little wary. For one, I was much smaller than their females. I honestly thought I was pretty tall back on Earth at five foot eight. But the queen here was like nine feet tall. And, well, I wasn’t purple. Not even close. Oh, and the tails… or lack of them.

  I loved how the Aashi had so many shades of purple, it was amazing the different hues, from light lavender to dark eggplant. It was almost like back on Earth with our different mix of skin colors. Here, though, all the warriors got darker-hued the taller they got. Tyee was small and light-colored—he told me this was why he was a healer, and that all healers were his size—then you had smaller warriors who were not respected at all and all the way to the larger ones.

  I smiled at the Aashi guys but I think I scared them when they started to scatter around. I stopped and took my hair tie out and finger combed my hair. I felt all sweaty and hot and it was starting to come loose. Tyee was obsessed with brushing my hair, he loved the kinks and the curls that always formed at the ends, he would always touch them. He wanted to braid my hair but I preferred to just wear it up. I loved when he told me it was the most beautiful hair he had ever seen. I was blessed with my mom’s beautiful genes. She had the same beautiful hair. There were strange sounds and I looked up.

  I loved looking at the birds when they flew overhead, they were similar to ours, yet different at the same time. I took a few steps as I watched them. These ones were white, mostly, and looked like an ibis. They flew in a small group away from the clan. Away from bitchy clan queens. Ugh, I wish I could fly… then we could leave today—ouch.

  My body stopped moving suddenly as the air whooshed from my lungs. The dirt came rushing up to my face, but it suddenly stopped, an arm holding onto me preventing my fall. As I stood up and corrected myself, I brushed myself off as if I had landed in the dirt, then froze. I looked up at the guy who broke my fall. His eyes were wide as he glanced around behind me, well over my head, probably looking for Eren.

  What the fuck happened? I rubbed my cheek and looked for the tree I walked into. Only, I was standing in the middle of the cleared area where there were no trees. Just big, purple guys who had all stopped to stare and who watched me walk into—

  “Holy shit, sorry. Fuck, did I walk into you? I swear I didn’t see you.” Was I really looking at birds and not looking where I was going? Stupid move, Quinn. Last thing I wanted on this planet was a broken arm because I was looking up and not where my feet were going. I had to watch where I was going. I had broken my arm as a child when I wasn’t looking and walking… you would think I would have learned by now not to do that anymore.

  When this huge guy didn’t say anything, I looked around and saw why. All these Aashi males moved in closer; they were watching us. Why were they… Oh, fuck.

  “Oh god, I touched you. It was an accident, I swear! I didn’t mean…” Ugh, I wanted to pull my hair out. What was up with the touching and giving guys boners on this planet? Humans were touchy people and this was going to prove hard if every time I touched a guy it triggered his puberty and he expected us to be married and, fuck.

  “Enoh, we must leave.” I felt the twin tails of Eren wrap around my waist as more males approached us; some held spears and didn’t look happy with me. But then, when did they look happy? They always had this look of unhappiness. Eren wrapped his lower arms around me and I trembled. This was really bad… I felt so sick.

  “Fuck. Oh, you’re like a prince or something, aren’t you? I fucked up royally. Let’s go, Eren.” But what surprised me more was when Eren told this giant, dark-purple guy—the color of plums—to come with us. I didn’t get a chance to protest that I didn’t want him as a mate, that this was an accident. Eren picked me up and ran back to the hut.

  Inside, he placed me in the nest, which was just a pile of rough feeling blankets, as he was gathering things. The tall guy just stood there watching but I couldn’t sit around watching Eren so I started helping. Tyee returned not long after, shocked to see we were suddenly leaving and we were bringing this big, extra guy with us. Which we weren’t. He didn’t need to come.

  “He can’t stay, this was an accident. I don’t want him as a mate, I just accidentally bumped into him.” I looked back at him and watched his shocked expression change to a somber one as my translator repeated my words. Ah, see. I wasn’t good at this rejection stuff on guys like him. That wasn’t what I meant… Well, okay, it was because I really didn’t see him so I wasn’t choosing him. It was like he just appeared in front of me.

  “He cannot stay here, he must come. He is only young and he will be outcast if he stays. Zezii isn’t of mating age. I do not know what this means for him as a young male. He cannot stay, Quinn. Do you understand?” Tyee spoke up for the first time since he got here, and he sounded worried. He even looked it, too, the way his brows bunched in the middle. I hadn’t seen that since the one time I accidentally touched him and he was confused why I did.

  “What? How old is he?” I replied but I didn’t really get it. What age was mating age? I knew my guys were older. Hell, Eren was fifty-three and Tyee was thirty-seven. I was twenty-four and the oldest of the human girls here so he couldn’t be much younger than me. Look at the guy, he was huge. I looked down to his little loin cloth—

  “Zezii is seventeen years, he is not even a full warrior yet so we must take him with us or he will be cast out of the clan as a rejected male and walk the free lands alone. We can give him a clan: the Clan Wolf of your humans. You can speak to your Loona and ask for him to stay. Please do not leave him to be alone.”

  I did a double take at Eren’s words. No way. I looked between the two of them, they both looked the same age. Eren didn’t even have a wrinkle on him and he was a little smaller than Zezii. And why would she cast him out? The queen let the other guys stay. This made no sense.

  “No, hold on, wait… But your years are different.” So, on Earth he would be what? I started to do the numbers in my head.

  “Wow, you know I’m eighteen in your years. So Zezii is like twenty-three of mine, he will be fine. We will just pretend it didn’t happen.” I patted Zezii’s forearm to reassure him, but then I looked down to his thighs. There was no hiding that, man those mate marks appeared fast.

  “Mate marks?” I pointed as my
other hand went to my mouth as I gasped. When I looked up, I met Zezii’s eyes. His brows were wrinkled and you could see the worry in his gaze. His shoulders slumped forward like I had punched him in the gut. Oh god, I was being a bitch and not meaning to. I just didn’t want this queen to kill me because I made a tiny mistake of walking into this guy.

  “It’s okay, Zezii, we have you. Come with us. I am so sorry for touching you.” I rubbed his lower arm to try and comfort him and Tyee made a high squeaking sound. I quickly pulled my hand back and I grumbled lowly.

  “It’s not like I can undo this or make it worse. It’s done now.”

  Chapter Two

  Eren

  My beautiful mate, she didn’t understand the ways of the Aashi. I told her all I knew, but it still wasn’t enough. There were so many differences between our two worlds that it was hard to know what she didn’t already. It seemed like most things between our worlds were different.

  I was her Chosen. Queen Mearyn had selected me as the last male to join the chosen males for the alien female. We were never told the human females were smaller or that they were colored differently. My Quinn, she was darker than the other females that came that day. Never had I seen such a beautiful color until I saw her. I was glad the other Chosen males agreed we must have her as we made our way to take our pick of the females from the M’Mori. But when she was close to me, that was when I noticed the scent of hers. Never had I experienced the longing within me at such a beautiful smell of a female.
