Chapter 5

Annika stared at Deza’s ship, a large but sleek disc-shaped vessel that gleamed in the afternoon sun. They had spent the last few hours traveling over the mountain to the place he’d hidden the Merrona. During their journey, neither one of them had spoken much. He’d offered her food and drink every so often, but other than that he had barely said a word. She had tried to make small talk a few times, only for him to reply with a nod or a noncommittal grunt.

Every time she looked at him, he appeared deep in thought. She supposed her refusal to become his mate weighed on his mind. But it couldn’t be helped. How could she throw away her opportunity to reach Earth? Once he dropped her off at the nearest Earth embassy, human officials would arrange for her to travel back home.

Why did she feel so guilty?

She would be a fool to refuse Deza’s assistance, even though he wasn’t asking anything of her in return. He was helping her reach home out of the kindness in his heart and nothing more.

Her throat burned with emotion. The thought of never seeing Deza again brought tears to her eyes. She blinked rapidly and swallowed hard, determined not to break down in front of him again. She was glad to have met Deza and she couldn’t help but wonder if they might have had a chance under different circumstances—like if they had all the time in the world to get to know one another. But Deza had to return to New Vaxx soon with a human mate. The males of his kind were trying to rebuild civilization and start over. There wasn’t time for a long courtship.

Oh, she wished there was more time.

“Come, Annika.” He touched her lower back, guiding her toward the ship, and his nearness sent tingles rushing through her body. “I’ll fire the comm system up immediately and you can contact your family.”

As they walked, she rested a hand on his chest briefly and offered him a smile. “Thank you, Deza. I cannot begin to express to you how grateful I am for your kindness. You are a good man.” And the human female you claim as your mate will be the luckiest woman in all of existence, she thought with a sinking heart. Jealousy ripped through her, and she tried her best to push the ugly emotion away. This would all be for the best. She would reach Earth and he would eventually find a mate, a woman who wanted Deza as much as he wanted her.

As they approached the ship, he shouted a command in his native tongue. A moment later, the side of the ship shifted, opening into a ramp that folded down directly in front of them. Steep steps ascended to a lighted interior. He urged her to proceed up the steps ahead of him. Once she entered what she supposed was the bridge, she took in her new surroundings with a sense of awe.
