Claimed by the Alien Hunter

A Sci-Fi Alien Warrior Fated Mates Romance

I crashed on a prison planet. He was my death sentence.

As a communications specialist for the Special Space Forces, I knew the risks. But nothing prepared me for Kroel. A planet designed to contain the galaxy's most lethal criminals, with a toxic atmosphere and monsters straight from a colonist’s nightmare. My ship is a wreck, my suit is failing, and I’m bleeding out. I am, for all tactical purposes, already dead.

Then he finds me.

Drax is a Xenjian, a warrior species bred for the hunt, stalking this wasteland for reasons his people will not speak of. He’s a terrifying silhouette of horns, scales, and lethal power, bound by a sacred law that forbids him from interfering with outsiders. He should have left me to die.

He didn't.

Now, I’m his prisoner in a makeshift shelter, caught between the planet’s relentless dangers and the possessive gaze of my savior. We don’t share a language, but the way he looks at me speaks volumes. He's teaching me to survive in this world, and I'm teaching him to feel. But as our fragile truce ignites into a primal, impossible passion, I learn the true reason for his exile. He sees me not as a prisoner, but as a mate. And on Kroel, a hunter's claim is forever.

Unique storyline

Nice short story. Nothing felt missing from it like can happen with shorter books. The virtual narration is what it is, I just appreciate that they have a male voice for the male character and a female voice for the female character.

Going For It

For some reason this story reminded me of the Serenity Prayer because both characters accepted what they couldn’t change and Draax had the wisdom to know the difference and save his little human. And I’m always happy with sidekick pets!
