Page 67 of Captive Mate

For the first time, I heard Sunny laugh. Her face was lit up as she watched the two beasts playing. I wasn’t the kind of creature who’d cared to ensure anyone was happy. But with her, everything was different. I wanted to ensure she found a place in my world that would bring her some joy.

And perhaps, she would do the same to a life that had become lonely.

“Oh, my goodness. Who are you?” she asked, although it was obvious she wasn’t talking to me.

“His name is Zaz. He’s my pet. So you see, little human. I do understand the importance of your… animal.”

She made a snide comment under her breath. “At least you get it. That’s what I want to do for the rest of my life, care for animals. Do you have others on your planet?”

Zaz snorted, rolling his eyes, chattering in the language he’d gleaned from his master.

That forced Thor to bark and my little human to laugh again.

“Yes, Sunny. We have thousands of animals roaming our lands. You will have free rein to look after them.”

She narrowed her eyes as if trying to determine if she could trust me.

Zaz mimicked Thor’s sounds, growling and barking, which seemed to excite the dog even more. I moved into my quarters, noticing her arms were folded, her face pinched. “You should be comfortable here.” I glanced at Zaz, the creature making fun of the two of them.You will protect the two of them. However, the female is cunning. Keep an eye on her.

The creature knew exactly what I was telling him using my mind, taking the opportunity to move closer to both creatures, sniffing as only the dragon could do.Can I play with them?

As long as you do no physical damage then yes,I told him. The miniature dragon had no idea of his level of strength or the damage he could cause.

He narrowed his eyes, giving me the same kind of harsh glare as the female was.

When he stuck out his tongue, licking the dog’s face, the creature yelped and jumped backward by several feet.

“Thor. By my side. Do not hurt my family, Zatan.” The female had no idea the iciness of her tone only further aroused me.

I had a feeling her belligerence would continue until I told her the truth.

Hearing a sound, I turned my head. Thor’s tail was thumping again, watching me with tired eyes. No matter the connection I shared with the furry creature, his master would always be the woman he would guard with his life.

“I have no intention of it as you are to be my mate.”

“So you’ve said. What else, other than your prisoner? Am I to bow at your feet, do your biddings? Am I to submit to all your needs, no matter how kinky and heinous?”

Her glare was even harsher than before.

“You will obey my every command. As I told you before, soon, you will become my queen.”

CHAPTER20

Zatan

The door closed behind me and I took a deep breath. The woman was even more infuriating now that she’d become my captive. Although my cock ached significantly, the desire for her only increasing; the life fluid flowing through my veins had created tremors within my muscle given the potency.

I found it interesting that I was being watched, as if the other Vektorians were confused as to why I’d have a human on the ship. It wasn’t their call and in truth, I was irritated. Enough so I snarled at a few of them while making my way toward the bridge. I was no fool. I’d heard the rumblings within my own people, the chastisements of how my father had altered his methods of leadership. There were some who wanted him removed as king, which was blasphemous. I would kill anyone who openly challenged him.

Admitting my appreciation of the woman’s abilities wasn’t something I would readily do, but she had proven herself to be quite formidable in several aspects.

I headed into the front of the ship, glaring out the windows, then to the console, noticing the shift in their positions. “The fucking Tantian ships are determined to fire on the Earth Station. What are the humans doing about it?” I barked my question, my impatience increasing.

Two of the men shifted to face me out of respect, acknowledging my sudden appearance.

“Commander. You’ve returned from your… excursion,” Lieutenant Barto said, barely glancing in my direction. He’d known the moment I’d stepped foot on the ship. It would appear both my lieutenants were testy, which didn’t bode well for what we could possibly be facing. “We need to annihilate the Tantians. They will only continue to cause serious issues. We don’t know if they don’t have an entire fleet waiting for us to leave this somewhat protected area.”

Protected area, my ass. They’d be happy to destroy an Earth Station if they believed it would send a message about their increasing authority. They’d gained far too many followers over the last hundred years, some of the species smaller in number needing a leader to guide them from what so many called the darkness. And many blamed my father, citing greed.
