He pulled her back into his arms and kissed her until her toes curled. When he raised his head, she smiled up at him, that alien face now so beloved. He smiled back at her before his expression turned thoughtful.
“That was S’mathan, Leader of the Scholars.” He rubbed his chin. “He must have convinced the Supreme Council to try a peaceful approach.”
“That’s good, right?”
“I don’t know,” he said slowly. “I was trained to believe that a swift, decisive victory is best for all.”
“But if it’s peaceful, no one has to be the winner.”
“Perhaps,” he said, but she could see the doubt in his eyes. “As long as the humans don’t fight back.”
“And if they do?”
“Our warriors will come, and your humans will be defeated.”
“We can fight,” she said indignantly, despite the chill tracing her spine.
“I know you can, little warrior.” For a moment his eyes warmed as he stroked a finger down her cheek, then he turned serious again. “But it won’t matter. In the end, you’ll lose.”
“Maybe the Yehrin will just decide to leave,” she argued.
“No, my L’chka. Earth has something far too precious for that—our hope for the future.”
“You mean...”
“Yes. Your women. Any warrior would willingly die for a chance to achieve the happiness that I have found.”
How could she argue with that? Meeting T’saran was certainly the best thing that had ever happened to her. She smiled up at him.
“Then I can only hope that other Earth women will be as lucky as I am.”
He lowered his head to kiss her again and her concerns for the future disappeared.
Author’s Note
Thank you so much for reading Alien Selection! I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it! I never intended to write a prequel to the Alien Invasion series, but as soon as I started wondering about what had happened prior to the events of Alien Conquest, I knew I had to tell the story of T’saran and Lauren!
