“Badge?” A woman dressed in a black suit gestured the first woman forward.
I looked through our line, only women. Were there no men who wanted to hook up with a hot alien chick?I counted eleven including me and Melody.
“Next, badge?” The woman sounded bored; like she’d rather be doing anything than checking us in.
When mine and Melody’s turn came, I handed her both of our paperwork. It was standard stuff. If we’d been married, if we were okay with dating an alien, and the results of a sexual test they’d wanted performed before allowing us to come here. Guess even aliens had to practice safe sex. I giggled at my own joke. Several women around me glared. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have had that third drink.
The woman looked over our paperwork and frowned. “Whoa, which one is Melody?”
“That’s me.” My friend beamed. “I’m just so excited to be here that I—”
“It says here in your list of surgeries you had an emergency hysterectomy?”
“Well, yes. I had a partial because of endometriosis—”
“I’m sorry, but you can’t compete.” Her reptilian face darkened to a muted green color.
“What?” I asked, sticking up for my friend. “That’s bullshit, just because of something she couldn’t control?”
“Riley, it’s fine.” She tugged on my arm.
“Then I’m not doing this either.” I turned away.
“Riley Morgan?” the woman asked with excitement lacing her voice.
“Come on, we’re leaving.” I stalked toward the exit.
“I’m sorry, I made a mistake.” The woman ran after us, stepping in front of me. Her reptilian eyes wide and darting like she was afraid. “You’re right. Absolutely right. Of course, your friend can participate. I-I was mistaken.”
“What the hell?” I shook my head at the emotional whiplash of this woman.
“Please, please come and see the candidates. I-I’ll even give you a free pass on a hotel for the weekend.”
Melody nudged me with her elbow, and I looked at her, I couldn’t say no to the pleading in her bright green eyes.
“Fine, but if anyone treats my friend like crap, we’re leaving after I chew them out.”
The woman nodded her head so fast and furiously I worried she’d injure herself. Melody and I took our seats next to each other. Hushed whispers between the woman and someone on the other side of the door had me debating leaving. I shrugged it off to the reason she changed her mind so quickly was there wasn’t enough women for the alien men coming. I searched the room for any other weirdness and counted eleven women including me and Melody and twelve pairs of chairs with a small table between each.
“Thanks for sticking up for me back there.” Melody’s nervous smile twisted my heart for my friend, and I hoped she'd find her soulmate too.
I gave her a reassuring squeeze despite the unease trailing a cold finger down my spine.

Xaden
Ipunched my fists against the stone walls of my prison until my knuckles bled and my healing magic felt like shards of ice as it tried to stitch my wounds back together. Fucking Roulex. They were a plague to my people and trapped us in our mountain home.
My wings ached and I stretched them out, grunting when the tendons stretched too far. It would take another day or two of healing for them to recover.
I paced in the small cell; the dankness clogged my throat. How different than the flower cups covering this area with their sweet, floral scent before the Roulex came here and tainted every fucking thing they touched with their shit.
A female voice chuckled from the barred door. “Are you willing to submit now?” Sofria cupped her naked breasts and ice squeezed my throat. Her wings smaller than mine and we both knew they were decoration only.
“Spare me the disguise, I know what you are.”
“Oh, do you prefer this species rather than your own?” She morphed into a human with big breasts.
