Alien Guard's Mate (SciFi Paranormal Alien Romance) (Vistran Love Book 3) Read Online Free Page B

So far, they were alone but who knew when a servant might come by. And she could only imagine how quickly guards would be called to arrest Loku. And large though he may be, he couldn’t take on the entire police force of Soong.
                  Without taking his eyes off the gargling Milo, Loku said, “Did you enter into marriage with this man? Are you engaged?”
                  It took Amara a moment to realize Loku was speaking to her. “No!” she said frantically. “No, we didn’t. Not yet—”
                  “So I do not have to fight this man for you?” he asked, shaking Milo a little, like a rag doll.
                  “No!” Amara cried out in surprise. “Definitely not!”
                  Loku nodded. “Good,” he said. Giving Milo the full benefit of his steely glare, he added, “Consider yourself lucky, you little weasly bastard.” And with that, he threw Milo to the floor.
                  Milo gasped and coughed, drawing in ragged breaths. “You—You—” he choked. But whatever he had been about to say was lost as Milo’s eyes rolled back and he passed out.
                  Amara could only stare at Milo’s unconscious form in stunned silence. She jumped when she felt Loku’s large hand against her own.
                  “Come,” the Vistran said, his voice calm and steady. “We need to leave this planet before the alarms are raised for this man .” The disdain put on the last word was not lost on Amara.
                  Feeling her heart pound in adrenaline, she breathlessly asked, “Where are we going?”
                  “Far away from here,” he said, echoing the words of her dreams.
                  As soon as Amara nodded, Loku took her in hand and quickly led her away. Amara followed the Vistran, feeling her heart pound in excitement and something more…something warm. Something good.

              “Why did you ask if we were engaged?” Amara asked.
                  They were in a small inn just a mile away from the port. Loku had looked for the very next ship leaving but the next possible ship wouldn’t be leaving for another two hours.
                  Considering how far away they had managed to get away from the mansion, Loku felt confident they had the two hours to spare. But wanting to be away from the public in case any alarms were raised, Loku had found them a simple room in a small nearby inn.
                  Loku turned away from the window and looked down at the small human. He couldn’t believe how quickly his heart had identified its match but with every passing minute, he knew there would be no other possible match than this beautiful, brave, and feisty woman.
                  “Because it’s only right to fight a betrothed man for the right of your hand,” Loku said simply.
                  Amara stared at him. Loku knew he would have to explain carefully the next few things.
                  “Do you know how Vistrans mate?” he asked baldly.
                  Amara’s cheeks immediately blushed a beautiful pink. Loku felt his body burn for her.
                  “Um…I’m sure that is something private a-and—”
                  “We mate forever,” Loku interrupted. “At least the males do. When we mate, we mate for eternity. Once we recognize our match, our equal, our partner, we love and mate with them forever.”
                  His voice had grown huskier as he spoke. Saying the words aloud only inflamed the desire he felt inside.
                  Amara’s beautiful green eyes stared up at him searchingly.
                  “Since you hadn’t become engaged yet,” Loku continued, “it allows me to ask for your hand and body without
