It’s late when Cora finally falls asleep next to me. We haven’t left the bed since the moment we both accepted the mate bond and I carried her to my bunk, and in this moment, I never want to. I’ve never felt so happy and content in all of my life.

Even my new arm, which I’ve despised since the moment I woke up and saw it, doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Having Cora as mine seems to bathe everything in a new and happier light.

Before this, the Alpha Force was my entire life. Being the best pilot on Kalix—maybe even one of the best in the universe—was the most important thing to me. But now, there’s something more. My life doesn’t begin and end with training, with missions, with battles.

Now, it begins and ends with Cora.

And now that the destruction of the Orkun weapons base has given us hope for peace, I can imagine a life with her. One where I don’t have to fight and can dedicate myself to making my mate happy. One where we can travel together, exploring new worlds before returning home to Kalix.

Endless possibilities seem to stretch out before me, and I revel in each one of them as the thoughts drift through my head.

There’s no chance of a family for us, of course, but I meant it when I told Cora I don’t care about that. I never considered having children. Before the arrival of the Terran women, it was widely accepted as fact that there would never be any more Kalixian offspring. But even now that things have changed, I don’t feel as if a part of my life will be missing if I don’t have children.

In fact, the idea of having Cora all to myself forever doesn’t sound all that bad. Just me and her. And if she’s right, and my arm is becoming more synergized with my body, eventually my flying will improve. I’ll probably never be the master at it that I once was, but one day, Cora and I can go on the explorations that I’ve always dreamed of.

I feel a surge of hope in my chest, as if my world is expanding, bigger and full of more potential than I ever allowed myself to imagine.

My mate shifts against me in her sleep, and I look down at her. She’s so beautiful, her light brown hair curling around her face, her full lashes long and soft on her cheeks. She looks small next to my muscular body, but I know that her spirit is fierce and strong.

She might look fragile, but she’s as bold and brave as any warrior.

My perfect match. A spirited, adventurous woman.

I lean down, softly brushing a kiss over her lips. I don’t mean to wake her, but she stirs at the touch, her eyes fluttering open. As she registers me leaning over her, a smile curves her lips, and she reaches for me with no hesitation. She tilts her chin up, deepening the kiss as she moves against me, clearly ready for more.
