An Alpha Alien Romance
He entered the alliance as a weapon.
She entered it as a sacrifice.
Taryn never wanted to be paraded as a potential bride.
She would rather help her military dogs than become prey to politics.
Especially alien ones.
But when the Morraki General singles her out, she has no choice but to accept the injection.
Rhydek bears scars from many wars, but the deepest are the ones no eye can see.
Choosing Taryn was strategic. Her curvy body made her more likely to survive the omega transformation.
Nothing more.
When Taryn connects with a savage varku no Morraki could tame, her strength earns more than Rhydek’s respect.
It stirs a desire he swore he’d buried.
Her heat nearly shatters both his culture and his resistance,
And when rebels strike as he finally learns to trust,
They have to decide if their scars will keep them apart,
Or if their bond is strong enough to give them a new purpose.

He was focused on where I was bleeding, and my lips parted to say I was fine, but the words caught in my throat when he leaned down and swiped his tongue over the scrape.
My lungs seized, eyes widening. His tongue was hot on my skin and felt like it had horizontal bumps along its length. It had also been longer than I would have expected and almost forked at the tip.
My core gave a desperate squeeze, warmth pooling low in my belly when he met my gaze while his tongue was still on me. Nostrils flaring, the rumble he emitted changed pitch, and he licked me again before straightening.
“Be more careful.”
READ MOREI normally would have resented the warning, but my brain was still frozen by what he’d just done. I was fighting off the dirty thoughts that wanted to invade with everything I had and didn’t have the focus to spare to blame him for the collision.
“That can’t be sanitary.”
Blinking up at him, I didn’t miss the way his lips twitched as if he wanted to smirk.
“Our saliva has healing properties. It’s why an alpha licks his mark after biting an omega.”
His mouth opened and his tongue ran across teeth that were sharper than a Human’s blunt incisors. Shiver rolling down my spine and making my nipples tight enough to hurt, I dragged my eyes away before I did something insane, blaming my reactions on the new hormones flooding my system. It was perfectly natural to have a visceral response to a male licking me.
Especially when he looked at me like that while he did it.
Rhydek’s attitude might have been prickly enough to make me want to keep my distance, but that took brain power to process. He was massive and masculine, Human enough for the alien parts to inspire curiosity rather than revulsion, and it had been a long time since I’d been the focus of any male’s attention. Knowing it was inevitable that I’d have to sleep with him didn’t help.
