Chapter 39

You need to tell Chloe when you get to the lab. She’s on the morynth ship waiting for you. The aliens are after her.

We were driving back to the lab when the ship texted me.

What do you mean, the aliens?

She ran into the morynth ship and I tricked her into letting me into the morynth ship’s system. Now I have all the knowledge that was uploaded to that ship.

I groaned. “Have you ever had issues with security at the lab?” I asked Dr. Mahma.

“No. It’s a tight ship.”

“Chloe overheard some people talking, and she’s concerned that there may be some issues in the future. You may want to check everything, especially if the government wants to work with you,” I replied. How could I lose Dr. Mahma so I could retrieve Chloe?

“You’re right. We may have to tighten up security. Maybe run another security check.”

“You should do that right when we get back.”

“Great idea! Best idea I’ve had to hire you!” he exclaimed as he parked at the far end of the parking lot.

I jumped out and nodded. “I’ll tell Chloe you are looking into her concerns right away.”

My fingers slid over the screen as I texted her that I was coming and she would be safe. As I walked through the lab, I didn’t run into the other aliens. I asked the ship to send me which species they were. I stepped into the office, and Chloe stepped out of the hallway to the ship’s lab and lunged at me. Relief at seeing her safe soared through me. Once we made contact, more pheromones leaked from me. My hand touched the back of her head and petted her.

“I was really scared.” She melted into my arms, and my heart seemed to burst with pleasure.

“You did the right thing. I don’t see them around anymore. I brought up concerns about safety measures to the doctor.”

“Why?”

“It was a way to distract him so I could go get you.”

She looked up, her lips parted as our eyes locked. The scent of her arousal greeted my nostrils. But you wanted me by myself? “Next line aside. More of my pheromones drifted through the air.

“The ship said I’m your mate. “

I shook my head. “That’s not possible. I told you can’t be my mate. My mating response must’ve triggered right as I was leaving the space station.”

“The ship said ‘welcome, morynth mate.’”

“You went into the ship?"

“Of course. I approached and it said ‘hello morynth mate’ then the door opened for me, so I went in. It said explicitly that I am a mate of a morynth. You’re the only morynth I fucking know, so yes. “

“This complicates things.”

“No, it doesn’t. Knot me. So I can stop suffering because that’s all you’re doing is making me suffer.”

She moved toward her desk for a second before turning around. “If I wasn’t your mate, how come I’m the only one affected? You keep saying it’s because I’m human. Or I can’t take your knot because I’m human? Then why do I feel this way? Whatever alien biology you do with your pheromones is changing me. My body wants you. It needs you and I’m suffering. God, I mean, I’m a horny bitch sometimes, but not to this extent that I can’t think straight. Especially if I’m near you. It’s not fair. Please, just knot me.” Tears streamed down her face.

My heart lurched for her. What she was saying was impossible. I’d been trying to tell her that but why did my pheromones act the way they did whenever I was near her? I brushed my hand through my hair as I turned away from her.
