“Damn,” Khaix said under his breath.
“That’s nice of her. Have you told her about the information we have gathered yet?” the scarred warrior questioned.
“Some,” I replied honestly. “On that note, I'm going to meet Cyrus. Raze, go get some rest. Khaix will stay here.”
From the corner of my eye I saw how Raze opened his mouth to argue but didn’t.
In these moments I was happy I was the captain and not even my warriors wanted to argue with me. If only Kelsey would follow my orders, it would make life much easier.
As I walked to an area which Cyrus had claimed as his, I thought how was I going to tell my female how she is my mate. I planned to do it soon, every moment I kept it from her it felt like lying.
Kelsey
After the night where Kahma had made me climax with his hand, I didn’t see much of him. I was hurt by his absence, I missed seeing his face and talking with him. There was a big lead according to him, which he had to follow and that kept him busy. I believed him, but also I believed he was avoiding me.
Despite being busy with work, he had gotten me a text-to-voice device. I filled in my days by preparing for other females to be found, writing the recipes into English and trying to replicate some of the Earth food so I would feel more at home.
I was writing the last lines of the recipe as Malki, Zar’s mate, was walking around the place.
Kahma’s place was a three room apartment with kitchen and living room being separated which according to Malki wasn’t a common thing in Ocenum since everyone likes open space.
Malki was a tall female compared to me. She had long, almost waist length hair which she kept tidily in a braid. Her eyes were pink, which was a color I hadn’t seen on any silver person yet. She stood tall with confidence and yet her smile was kind.
“Let me know when you are ready,” Malki said once she came back to the kitchen. “Love the colors. How did you manage to convince Kahma to let you add colors?”
Smiling, I put down the pen I had had in my hand, “I didn’t.”
“Oh? The man is obsessed with everything dark. I have a hard time believing you didn’t need to convince him.”
“No, actually. He told me to do whatever I wanted with the place. Showed me how to order stuff from that table thingy, he said the name but I honestly forgot,” she looked at me with a raised eyebrow, “pictures where you have to scroll and choose what you like.”
“I know what you talkin’ about. Just surprised he was okay with it,” she shrugged. “How’s it been like living withthe captain?”
I liked Malki. She seemed the type of person who I would have had as a friend back on Earth. Bubbly and full of smiles. The way she smiled and talked made it easy to forget how she had almost died just to save her own team.
“I don’t see him much during the day,” I tell her as we are getting ready to leave Kahma’s place.
“Is he ignoring you?”
“I don’t think so,” my voice coming off unsure, “they are working on finding other females right now. Maybe something more.”
“Fair. Being mates with the captain can’t be easy. Zar always pokes fun at me for trying to boss him around. Kahma isthe captain. Good luck to you, female from Earth,” she is smiling brightly while guiding me to the hovering car.
I needed a lot of luck to deal with Kahma. I wasn’t going to say it out loud.
“Mates?” I asked.
For a second she looked at me with big eyes. “Yeah. Zar said how you and Kahma…” she never finished her sentence. “Doesn’t matter. Are you ready for some shopping?”
“Yes.”
“We might have to get clothes altered for you since our women are a bit different sized,” Malki spoke while looking me up and down. I felt fat next to her slim body, she looked like a model. Being all legs and lean muscles. “But we shall think about it later.”
Not soon after I found myself in one of the clothing stores. Clothing store was a bit of a stretch as it seemed the place mainly sold the robes I had gotten from Kahma. The robes were in different colors and lengths.
“Robes?”
“Mhm,” she mumbled, “it's standard casual clothing for the military. Kahma told me to get you some robes.”
