Bred by Her Alien Abductor - Page 28

“You need to calm down.”

“Do not tell me to be calm in a situation like this, Bronn. You have no idea how very screwed we are.”

He ignored his brother’s grim expression. His ship hadn’t been able to withstand the journey and impact of Earth.

His brothers’ project aircraft wasn’t exactly any better.

“I think you need to go get some sleep. You’re not going to be helpful with that negative kind of attitude.”

Dhiro didn’t argue with them. He was so angry with the whole situation. He couldn’t just sit around and pretend like nothing happened.

The ship his brothers had built was amazing, he couldn’t doubt their skill. Their father had taught each of them so many unique skills. His brothers had learned the art of crafting a ship, while he’d been taught how to repair everything.

This was one of the reasons why his failed mission was so hard to accept. He hadn’t even been given the chance to explore or change what had happened. Ella shouldn’t have had a time limit.

She deserved so much more than that.

He was exhausted as he made his way toward the back of the ship where there was a small room with a tiny bed.

His brothers clearly hadn’t thought about comfort or long voyages when they crafted this ship. They were going to need a lot more than a single sheet on a bed.

Lying down, he stared up at the ceiling.

He was never going to return to Trenu Zel. How could they have viewed Ella’s life so basically? She was more than a vessel. Yes, she was human, and from his personal experience, she was very … emotional. Not that it stopped his love of her. Far from it.

From the stilted reactions and emotions of his planet, he found Ella’s range of feelings exceedingly addictive. Even mating with her was a huge high for him. Seeing the way she let go, never holding back her feelings or emotions, giving in to the need. Even now, thinking about it, he was aroused.

He ran a hand down his face, but it didn’t matter what he did, nothing was going to rub the upset of their current predicament from his mind.

His mother had been convinced of his success with Ella. Whatever his mother predicted had come true, and now, he didn’t know what direction to take. He loved his woman and couldn’t leave her.

A life on Earth didn’t sound very appealing to him, far from it.

Get a grip, Dhiro. This is your life now.

He heard the hatch open where Kaalen had stored Ella, and he sat up listening.

“Where’s Dhiro,” Ella’s voice asked.

She sounded sad, strained.

He hadn’t taken her from the hatch as she’d looked so peaceful while she slept.

Getting to his feet, he opened the door and stepped out, but he saw the raw sadness of his mate, and he couldn’t stay away. He closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around her.

“I’ve got you.”

She released a gasp. “Dhiro, you’re here?”

“Of course, I’m here. Where else would I go?” He pressed a kiss to her temple. “I’m always going to be here for you.” He was never going to let her go.

“I thought you were back on Trenu Zel.”

“I was never going to leave you, and I’m not going to start now.” He kissed her head again. “Where you go, I go. You’re my mate.”

“They think I’ve failed, haven’t they? Your … people.”

He cupped her cheeks and wiped away the tears that were slowly pooling in her eyes and starting to slide down her face.

“Don’t. They are not important.”

“Dhiro, don’t do this. Don’t make it sound like you’re not upset about what’s going on. I know the truth and so do you. You hate this. Don’t lie to me.”

He wanted to keep on lying to her, but the truth was, he couldn’t. “They … were going to send you back. I couldn’t let that happen.”

“But my fertility. I’m your planet’s last hope.”

“And after all this time, they had hoped to see something more, but you are not expecting. You are not pregnant.”

Ella growled. “Seriously? I haven’t been with you very long. I didn’t know I had a time limit.”

“Several moon cycles. Long enough to get pregnant.”

“Okay, fine, I admit that it is taking a little time, but that’s normal for a female. We don’t always catch at the same time. These things can take months, if not years. I was taken from my own planet, put on an alien one, where I was considered the outsider. My life took a huge change, and that can affect so much. I know a woman who took nine years to get pregnant.”

“Ella, you do not have to worry.”

She stepped back from him and shook her head. “Wow, you think the same as them, don’t you?”

“We think you two need to have a little more privacy. We are concentrating on not ruining our ship too early, and we’re navigating through a series of comets here,” Bronn said. “A little respect would go a long way.”
