Claimed by the OUTCAST ALIEN: The ruthless warlord marked her as his mate… but she refuses to kneel
EVIE MUSCIO
He’s the galaxy’s most feared commander. She’s a survivor with a price on her head. When their worlds collide, the stars aren't the only things that will burn.
Elena Vance is having a very bad decade. Stranded on a lawless space station with nothing but a depleted blaster and a mountain of debt, she’s one step away from the scrap heap. Then the Zulari arrive—huge, bronze-skinned warriors who play judge, jury, and executioner.
She expected to be interrogated. She didn’t expect to be claimed.
High Commander Vaxen K’Vahl doesn't do "feelings." He does tactics, conquest, and cold, hard discipline. But the moment he scents the golden-skinned human hiding in the shadows, his predator instincts scream one word: MATE.
Vaxen is prepared to give Elena a life of luxury aboard his dreadnought. He’s prepared to slaughter anyone who dares to touch her. What he’s not prepared for is a mate who looks at his massive claws, his glowing eyes, and his royal titles... and tells him to "get lost."
But in the deep reaches of space, fated matches aren't a choice—they’re a biological command. And Vaxen is a man used to getting exactly what he wants.
