Chapter 2

Commander Jaider Katon

These human females were starting to annoy me. They were always so weak and soft, and constantly needing to be looked after. They weren’t like the strong females of my own race.

It shouldn’t be up to me to look after them.

And of course, when the human female had fallen on the grass field, I knew I’d have to be the one to rescue her. She would not last another second without a Revian at her side. I did get a good look at her though.

She was wearing long pants that hugged her body, and shoes made from a soft kind of material. A thick and tight top hugged her breasts and curves, while her hair was brown and bound in a ponytail. There was a glint of defiance in her large brown eyes, and a pride in her stance.

For some reason I was aroused by it…but only for a second.

Her weakness as a human would always turn me off.

Now that I have gotten rid of her, I can focus on my duties. I was making my way to my Captain, who also happened to be my father, Captain Kleat Katon, to report to him about what happened. I was thinking about the Compiers when that damn human female’s face popped into my head again, with her defiant brown eyes just lingering.

“Damn human…,” I muttered to myself.

“What human?” a voice said, and I sneered as I recognized it immediately.

“Karah, what are you doing out here?” I asked as I turned around. She was a strong Revian female, someone I have known for many years growing up, and one of my mother’s students, and her friend. When my mother died, I swore to protect Karah at my mother’s request during the Compier Wars, and I have done so ever since. We dated briefly as teenagers, but I broke it off when I realized Karah’s jealous nature, and she has never really let it go.

“I was looking for you,” she answered as she attempted to put her arms on my chest but I backed away. “Now what human do you speak of?” she asked again, and I shook my head.

“It is nothing. Just some damn humans that needed to be rescued, as always.” I replied.

“Good. I don’t want to hear you have abandoned me for a human female my love,” she said. “Karah, please go find yourself a Revian warrior, all this flirting and games you play are very tiresome. We are not together and you know it.” I rebuked her.

“I am for you and you only.” she whispered.

I grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her away from me. “I am on my way to see my father now. I came across a battle I must report to him, so I have to go,” I told her.

“I understand,” she said, nodding. “Will you find me later?”

“No, Karah, please stop!” I said, as she attempted to kiss my cheek as I moved past her.

I made my way to the outside of the village where the military barracks were located. They encircled the entire village, serving as the ultimate barrier to the outside, and the Compiers. Most of the warriors without wives resided in the barracks. The rest of the complex was comprised of artillery, training grounds, and the quarters of the high-ranking officers like my father.

“I am here to see Captain Katon,” I said to the guard at the door of the building. He nodded his head and stepped aside, letting me through.

“Son, what news do you have for me?” my father asked as I walked inside his meeting room.

“I came across a battle when I was returning to the village,” I reported.

“Yes, I have already heard the Compiers attacked the supply convoy. I already have the list of those lost. I’m sorry you came across that, but I’m glad you have returned safely,” he said.

“I would have stayed and fought, but I came across something that forced me to return to the village,” I told him, and he frowned.

“What is that?” he asked.

“Leruk and Axon had returned from Earth, and on their way back got caught in the crossfire of our battle and were shot down. They had four human females with them, and I helped them get back to the village safely,” I explained.

“Good work,” my father praised, nodding his head. “It was the right choice to make. Where are the four humans now?”

“There are only three now. One was taken during the rescue by the Compiers, but I did not see it, only Leruk did. He reported as much to me before we left the attack.”

“What do you know about the human taken?” he asked, his brows furrowing in concern. I shook my head.
