Galactic Nuptials 2

My Chameleon Loves

Jenilyn Montgomery took a job with Gracely Investments to find out what happened to her best friend. She knows they’re behind Linda’s disappearance, but she can’t prove it. When she finds evidence of their illegal activities, she uses her computer skills to hide their vast fortune and is arrested for embezzlement.

Zintssar and Kernztssar are visiting Earth on a diplomatic mission when they scent their fated mate. They can read her emotions and know she’s hiding something, but she’s not really a criminal. But that’s okay because they’re hiding a pretty big secret themselves. They’ll do anything to take her back to Kilara as their bride.

What will Jenilyn do when she’s offered the choice of a prison term or leaving Earth as mate to the handsome brothers?

Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.

“You want me to do what?” District Attorney Elliot Reynolds raked his fingers through his short brown hair while small drops of sweat trickled down his flushed face.

Zintssar, the oldest brother of the Arridian clan, took a deep, calming breath. He’d been negotiating treaties between his home planet and other worlds for years. But this was personal, and he was quickly losing patience. “We want you to make arrangements for us to take Jenilyn Montgomery with us when we travel home.”

Elliot’s eyes widened, and his hand came up to lightly clasp his throat. “You’re talking about the young woman that was arraigned on embezzlement charges.”

Zintssar nodded. “Yes, the female with long brown hair and green eyes. We want to take her to Kilara.”

The district attorney paced back and forth in the small room. “I don’t understand.”

Zintssar sighed and glanced over at his brothers. Kernztssar, better known as Kernz, looked as if he could happily dismember the disagreeable human, while Xortztssar appeared bored. “We live on Kilara now. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Federation’s program to cultivate habitable planets for food. Our home world, Arridia, was awarded a spot on Kilara. My brothers and I are going to make it our home for the next year or so.”

Elliot frowned and gave a slight shake of his head. “No, I mean I don’t understand why you want Ms. Montgomery.”

“She’s our destined mate.”

Elliot took a couple of shuffling steps back, his mouth dropping open. “She’s your…I mean, how…When did you meet her?”

Zintssar struggled not to laugh at the struggling man. “We haven’t met her yet.”

“Then how do you know she’s your mate?”

“Because her scent draws me like none other ever has before.” The eldest son, and only the eldest, in an Arridian clan could recognize their mate from her scent. The brothers were destined to share the same mate, as their fathers before them. Zintssar took two steps and looked down on the human male. “Will you make the arrangements?”

Elliot’s lips trembled, his hands gripping the back of a chair so hard his knuckles turned white. “I can’t do that, Zintssar. She’s just been arraigned today. She’s got to stand trial for the charges that were brought against her.”

Kernz moved forward to stand next to Zintssar. “How long will that take?”

The district attorney crossed his arms over his chest and raised his chin a fraction of an inch. “It could be anywhere from a month to six months to even get a date for the trial. You know how long it took to bring Edward Davis to trial.”

Zintssar growled softly. He and his brothers were on Earth to testify at Edward’s trial. They had helped their good friends, Andon and Tarik, rescue their mate when Edward kidnapped her and her brother. “We have to wait until some farce of a trial to take our mate home?”

“I’m sorry. I’m not trying to make you angry, but you may never get the chance to take her home. It has to be her decision to accept your claim, and she might be found guilty of the charges brought against her.”

Zintssar shook his head. “No! She’s innocent.”

Elliot pursed his lips, tilting his head to the side. “How do you know that?”

“You wouldn’t understand.” Zintssar shifted his gaze to Kernz and then back to Elliot. “It’s a trait my people have, similar to your telepathy but different. We feel other’s emotions, and there’s a noticeable difference in someone who’s being false. Jenilyn Montgomery is not guilty of the charges against her.”

Sighing, Elliot dropped into a chair. “I’m sorry to say it might not matter, Zintssar. Our people base their opinion on the facts presented in the case. If the facts are compelling enough, the jury will find her guilty.”

Kernz’s nostrils flared, and he moved to stand over the district attorney. “What happens to her if they find her guilty?”

Elliott swallowed hard. “She’ll be sent to a state penitentiary for a set amount of time. The usual sentence is anywhere from ten to twenty years, depending on the circumstances.”

Zintssar felt his canines drop as he suppressed a growl. “Not acceptable.”

Elliot stood and moved toward the door. “You may not have a choice. I’m sorry, but it’s not in my power to just give her to you.”

Zintssar moved forward until he was crowding Elliott against the wall. He felt his lip turn up in a half smile as he watched the nervous tic in the man’s jaw. “Then let me make myself perfectly clear, Mr. Reynolds. We want our mate. Your government has shown great interest in the clean energy sources from our home world, Arridia.” He moved even closer and let his grin widen when his brothers moved in on each side, effectively boxing in the nervous man. “Your world leaders have already begun talks of trade with our father.” He leaned down until his breath stirred the short hairs on Elliot’s head. “I can promise you those talks will stop until we have our mate safely in our home on Kilara.”

Six months later

Jeffrey Landers pulled off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He raised his gaze and studied his client, Jenilyn Montgomery. “I had a visit from Phillip Masters.”

Jeni frowned and crossed her arms across her stomach. The cold air of the holding cell seemed to seep into her bones. “He’s the attorney for Gracely Investments.”

Jeff nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”

“What the hell did he want?”

He put his glasses back on and opened his briefcase, spreading some papers across the cold, metal table. “Believe it or not, he wanted to make a deal.”

Jeni narrowed her eyes. “What kind of a deal?”

“They’re willing to drop the charges if you, and I quote, ‘fix the computer problems you caused when you left.’” He studied Jeni for a moment and then sighed. “I don’t suppose you know what he’s talking about?”

Jeni snorted, and lowered her gaze. She knew exactly what he was talking about. She worked her lip between her teeth for a moment and then looked up. “You can’t repeat anything I tell you, can you?”

Jeff leaned back in his chair. “No, not unless you confess you’re about to commit a murder.”

She barked out a laugh. “No, nothing that drastic.”

“Come on, Jeni. Talk to me. I’ve been representing you for almost six months, and it’s time you told me the truth. It’s the only way I can help you.”
