I’m triumphant as I stare down at my mate, who is dressed in nothing but a small sheet. I can admit to feelings of triumph as her face falls in dismay. It feels like she has been running from me for years, but I’ve hunted her down as any warrior male of my race would.

I step forward, crowding her, and her eyes dart as she searches frantically for a way out of this tiny room. I’m blocking the only entrance, and I take a moment to enjoy the way her wet hair curls around her shoulders, and the way the mating bands stand out against her pale skin.

One of her wrists is wrapped up in white cloth, and I can see swelling and bruising on the side of her head. I need to bring a healer here immediately.

Her eyes harden, and she falls to her knees, reaching for something. I instinctively know that whatever it is, I do not want her to have it, and I move closer.

“Ah, a human gun,” I say as I use my superior speed to snatch it up before she can use it against me. Human weapons are ineffective against most of us, however a lucky shot has been known to kill the Arcav people- the very reason why I had these weapons banned the moment we landed here.

“Why am I not surprised that you have one of these?” I eye it curiously, and then tuck it away in a pocket.

“I hope you shoot your dick off,” Harlow sneers, and I raise an eyebrow. I had hoped for a warmer welcome, but ultimately knew it was unlikely to happen.

I eye her consideringly. My mate is stubborn, and has refused to listen to my pleas and explanations about why she must come with me. However, I know she listens to force, and if I have to play dirty to win, I will. My chest clenches as I realize that some small part of me was hoping she would have softened toward me even slightly. But while she appears sad and exhausted, she still looks at me with hate in her eyes.

My dream of an adoring mate may be going up in dust, but I’ll gladly take this tiny woman with the sharp tongue instead. I turn my head to speak to some of my men, who are crowded into the small sleeping room. Jaret is examining it with distaste, and I don’t blame him. On Arcavia, even our most dangerous criminals have more luxurious accommodations than this.

My mate is barely dressed though, and I feel the need to keep her hidden from curious eyes.

“You may leave,” I tell them. I see disappointment on more than one man’s face, and recognize that they want to see their Queen for the first time. Unfortunately, now is not the time.

I meet Jaret’s eyes and gesture to the door. He nods, and I know he will ensure this small room is constantly guarded. I’m taking no chances.

I turn back
