The strong and intense pace he set
left Lara barely able to keep up as her body reeled from the mix of pleasure
and need consuming her. Her body hung, almost paused on the edge, until Viper
took her over the edge and the world exploded around her.
Lara couldn’t help but smile as
Viper roared above her, his arms coming around her tightly, possessively as the
bonds between them grew stronger. The claiming complete.
Viper sagged above her, trying not
to crush her with his weight as his energy levels plummeted. He moved to the
side and pulled Lara into his arms, his legs wrapping around hers, so he could
be as close as possible to her.
They lay in comfortable silence,
each allowing their body to calm down from the intensity of the moment. Lara
watched in fascination as their energy strands melded, their bond deepening.
“I love you. More than anything on
any world.” Viper said, his throat tightening with the strength of his emotion
for his mate.
Lara smiled against his hard chest,
her own eyes tearing from his heartfelt admission. “I love you too. More than
anything in any lifetime.”
“I’m starving again.” Viper said, his
hands roaming Lara’s body told Lara it wasn’t food he was thinking about.
“So soon?” Lara asked with a
surprised giggle.
“We have a very long time to make
up for, don’t you think?” Viper asked, nuzzling her neck.
“That is true.” Lara said with a
sigh before remembering where they were. “Don’t we have to go back soon?” She
asked, hoping they could have a few more hours here at least.
Lara forgot what she’d been
thinking when Viper took her mouth in a hot kiss that left her breathless
before trailing his lips back down to her neck.
“I thought the human idea of a date
was far too short. Grai agreed, so we have this place until we are ready to go
back. We could stay a year, and I’d never be bored learning about you.” Viper
said, leaving goose bumps in the wake of his hand that was caressing her thigh.
Lara’s heart constricted from the
honesty and love in his voice. “I don’t think we have that long, but I think we
can do a week at least.”
“Hmmm… that means I have a week to
change your mind into staying another week. I’ll take that.” Viper said,
grinning as he slid down her body.
Epilogue
Three Weeks
Later
Viper didn’t give a damn what
anyone thought about Lara sitting on his lap in the conference room. After
everything they had been through, spanning hundreds of years, he wasn’t letting
her out of his sight ever again. Luckily, Lara didn’t mind in the least and
snuggled closer against his chest as they waited for Grai and Ivint to come in.
Jax and Reven sat on separate sides
of the table, trying really hard to ignore that the other was in the same room.
Lara shook her head at them. She really liked Jax and Reven was a good man; she
hoped they resolved their issues soon. For their own sakes.
Traze sat at the computer station
in the room just staring at her. The fact that he hadn’t spoken since she
walked into the room was a little unnerving while being a welcome change from
him at the same time.
Dog’ee on the other hand, would not
leave her side from the moment they arrived back the night before. Even now he
was sitting so close in the chair beside her and Viper that his front paws
rested on their seat. Lara didn’t mind at all either; she'd missed Dog’ee,
Dread and Drago while they had been gone.
David stood to the side and
slightly behind Traze. His light-blue eyes were now faintly dotted with silver,
denoting his blossoming bond with his awakening Prime.
Everyone looked up as Grai and
Ivint came into the room and sat down on the opposite side of the table from
them, followed by Dread, Drago and Ratoka. The latter seating themselves beside
Viper and Lara.
Grai looked at Lara and Viper,
giving them no clue as to what he was going to say or what he was thinking. The
man’s strength was something that Abexis was very impressed with and Lara
respected. He didn’t leave them waiting long.
“I and Ivint appreciate the effort
you made to show us the Prime so that we could understand how important your
presence is among us. The One God truly knew what he was doing when he brought
all of us together.” Grai looked around the room encompassing all of their
different races and hybrids before continuing.
“Our goals, our mission, is the
same. One cannot succeed without the other, as it was obviously meant to be. Our
Tezarian brethren have offered up any and all of their people to the Prime to
assist you in locating and retrieving your people.”
“The Valendran’s and I will
volunteer our own personnel and all resources you need as well. We welcome you,
the Prime and the ancient ones to our Alliance.”
“On a personal note, Tricia would
like to speak to you privately regarding the awakening of her Prime, and Maggie
would as well. If you could find the time to visit with them, I would greatly
appreciate it.” Grai said the last with more emotion than anything else he’d
spoken.
Lara could tell he was concerned
about his mate and the awakening of her Prime, and she wanted to ease his mind.
“I will go see her as soon as I
leave here, then Maggie. The Prime and the ancient are grateful for your help
and inclusion in your Alliance.” Lara/Abexis began.
“When our numbers are increased,
our laustio will prove to be quite an asset on your own missions, and we look
forward to working with your people to attain our mutual success. If we are
needed in any way, we will be there for you. As brethren and friend.”
Lara/Abexis finished. Standing, Lara bowed respectfully to the others before
leaving the room.
Viper, his brothers and Dog’ee were
close on her heels as she went into the parking lot and waited at the SUV for
the others to catch up.
“What’s the rush?” Drago asked with
a grin when he got to the vehicle.
Lara turned to them with beaming
golden eyes. “We need to complete the Death Rite for Jacordan, so his soul can
reunite with ours later. I won’t lose him again. Then we’re going to Tricia. My
brethren are coming closer; it's time to begin.”
Drago looked to Dread as Viper
helped Lara into the vehicle. “It seems as if we are in for a seriously wild
ride, my brother. I have a feeling we had better learn how to roll with it all.
Fast.” Dread said with a grin as he clapped Drago on the back.
Drago stood there for a moment,
looking at Lara and Viper in the back seat of the SUV. Somehow he knew things
were going to change quickly for them. It was the strange energy and emotions
he had begun feeling recently, since he came to the planet with Lara, that had
left him nervous… and expectant at the same time.
Dread slid into the driver’s seat
and honked the horn at him, pulling Drago out of his thoughts. Pasting a fake
grin on his face, Drago slid his large frame into the passenger seat.
The confusing energy only increased
the more he was around Lara, and he steeled himself to hide his feelings when
he was near her. A part of him knew that would soon change. The knowing look
that Viper gave him verified it for him. It gave him the shivers, and he turned
around in his seat and looked out the window.
“What’s with Drago?” Lara asked Viper
telepathically through their personal bond.
“Nothing much. He’s just feeling a
little of what I felt when I first met you. I think our brother won’t be alone
much longer.” Viper told Lara with a grin.
Lara laughed out loud and leaned
forward to give Drago a kiss on the back of his head. She was going to love
watching that happen.

First Wave Returns!
Taming Jax
Jaxson Adronatof had vowed as a
child that she would spend her life hunting the evil that had slaughtered her
parents and help those like her, who were different. For 15 years, she’d been
the leader of a resistance force and one stubborn, arrogant and frustratingly
gorgeous alien claiming she’s his mate isn’t going to deter her from that vow.
Especially when being a mate to
these guys meant being kept pregnant and out of danger. No matter how much
she’s drawn to him; Jax is determined to fight her feelings and stay as far
away from the mate business as possible.
For 1400 years, Reven Debreskii had
resigned himself to a life of loneliness. As a hardened Valendran military
commander, second only to Ivint Torenson, Reven was used to his commands being
followed without question. So when he tells Jax that she’s his mate, he’s
perplexed and frustrated when she not only doesn’t listen to him, she does her
best to ignore him at every turn.
However, fate did not bring Reven
to Earth solely so he could be tortured by a mate he couldn’t claim. With
neither one prepared to give an inch to the other in their battle of wills,
they will be thrown together for a fight neither expected, but neither is
willing to lose.
As two young lives rest in the hands
of the stubborn, seasoned warriors, they will all have to learn to trust and
compromise or none of them will make it out alive.

Note:
The
Schumann Resonance is a very real phenomena. There is a documentary out there
called Resonance: Beings of Frequency that gives a great explanation of it and it
can be found here.
You can listen to the resonance in
real time here:

A more technical explanation of the
resonance and health effects of it can be found here.

The following is the resonance I
have begun playing in my home 24/7. Very low and in the background of course! I
have to admit though, it really does help with stress and sleeping. It could
also be a placebo effect, but I’ll take what I can get.
