“Are you alright, my kora?”

“I am so good that it’s scary, my koree. I’ve never felt so happy. It’s damn scary”

“I am scared too. But it feels right. Like this is what destiny and fate always meant for us to find. Each other. Like you were meant to find your way here.”

She grimaces and smacks me lightly. “I can’t say that I’m happy to be kidnapped. But I am happy that I found you. I didn’t think I’d ever find a male who could let me help him, fight alongside him and not lose his mind.”

I smile grimly. “I almost didn’t. And if I hadn’t, I would have missed out on the best thing I’ve ever found. I used to think that nobody would ever want me. That I wasn’t good enough for anyone. My life was bleak. Until I found you.”

She smiles through tears. “My life was empty without you. And I never thought a giant blue alien would be the male for me but I can’t picture my life any other way.”

“Let’s go find someplace to start our new life together the right way.”

She grins at me but then Iona hollers, “Let us feast. We have so much meat to cook. We want to welcome you to our humble planet right.”

We fall together and sigh. But I smirk at her. “Show me what you got later, vistu.”

“I will tear you apart with my bare hands.”

I throw my head back, laughing so hard I almost fall over. “I look forward to it.”

We follow the warrior females and watch as males slink out to the fires to help cook. But they gradually stand taller as all of them work in sync and nobody orders another around.

It may take some time but I think change is coming to this small planet and I hope that the teams formed here will raise strong children and that they’ll venture into space more.

Now that we’ve met them, I think I’d like to learn more about these warrior females and their strange tribe.

I glance over and watch my kora smile and dance around with Lana. The joy on her face makes my breath catch, my chest aching with love for her.

The gods have blessed me more than I ever thought possible and I’ll never take it for granted.

We’re a team. For now and forever.

Epilogue 1: Alex

“Come on. Let’s see what you’ve got, Varnak.” His white brow quirks as I hold out a hand and wave it at him.

“Oh, you’re going to pay for that, little kora. I’m going to make you eat those words.” His growl makes me laugh out loud and then I duck and dodge when he grabs me and tries to pull me into him.

I feint and then slam an elbow into his ribs and he grunts, his grip loosening.

I duck under his arms and grip his side, leaning into him and shifting my weight so that he flips right over me and lands on his back with a grunt.

I fall on top of him and he wraps his arms around me and then rolls until he’s on top of me, caging me in. His hands go to my wrists and he holds onto me just tight enough that I can’t get away.

He leans down and his nose skims my ear as he chuckles, “I think I’ve got you right where I want you, kora. You might as well give in.”

My body heats to about a million degrees and every part of me melts into a puddle of goo. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to give in. And he should know that better than anyone.

With a quick intake of breath, I jerk my hips up, bouncing him just enough to move my knee and push at him until I can wrap my legs around his middle and then another big buck and he growls as I move out from under him and roll away.

He points a finger at me and growls. “Payback is a bitch, kora!”

I throw my head back and laugh. He’s absolutely fascinated by Earth sayings and spouts them all the time, cracking me up when he says them wrong.

“Well, well. You’ve got one right, koree. Good job.”

His smug smirk has me chuckling again. “I can do more than that right, my kora. Come closer and I’ll prove it to you.”
