"Next up, Commander Burk," the announcer says, and I peek out from behind Zuri's shoulder.Each fight has ended so quickly that getting to Burk's fight seems to have happened in record time. I take a deep breath to calm myself just as the Mangog runs out onto the field."Oh my God," I whisper as my eyes take in the monster named Mangog.His skin is a mixture of red and orange. His massive head has six horns, and his gigantic three-fingered hands have four-inch claws ready to kill. His lips can't close over his fangs, and his tall body is stacked with bulging muscles. My heart immediately begins to pound again. Burk has to fight that!As Burk's name runs through my head, he emerges out from the champion area, looking nothing but calm. His knife is clutched in his hand, and he is approaching the Mangog as if he doesn't have a care in the world."How is he so calm," I whisper, feeling uneasy.Zuri shrugs as she, too, stares at the Mangog with big eyes."I don't know. This one is the seco

BURK POV Tilk's eyes flick to mine again, and my irritation builds. The Bronkark hasn't stopped eyeing me all day, and I can't take much more. My fist is practically itching with the need to punch his face in. I know he wants my female, but the only way he would have a chance to have her now is if Krystal rejects my offer and requests he challenges me. So I don't know why he is still sizing me up. "He won't catch fire no matter how hard you stare," Modok mumbles, and I snort before hitting his shoulder with mine. "He keeps looking at me," I growl, and Nole chuckles. "Modok wiped the ground with him. He is probably embarrassed," Nole says as he gives his fellow Bronk the cold shoulder. I shrug and growl as he shoots me another calculated glance. "Focus on your fight. You are the next one up," Modok grumbles, and I look towards the exit. "Fight? It won't be a fight. Saz ran around the ring just to give the crowd a show. Everyone knows they can't focus their ears on s

"Commander Garlof is the last Champion standing. He has won this decade's Harvest," the Kea announcer says, and the crowd roars around me. As tournament assistants carry out the unconscious or injured males, I cry silently. I feel terrible. If only I had stayed in my seat. Burk would be higher up in the standing than what he is. If I hadn't gained him a penalty, he would probably be near the top. I just hope I didn't mess up his chance with the woman he wants. "After a quick run-through in the CRM (cell repair machine), the other Champions will be ready for selection. Harvest females, please return to your rooms and prepare for Selection," the Kea says, and the crowd cheers again. Zuri stands up, and I slowly follow her example. As I get to my feet, I wipe my face and sigh.Today was supposed to be exciting, but now I just feel guilty. These men work hard for this tournament. They are war heroes...and I ruined it for one of them. I walk behind our group slowly. I don't w

Watching the making of happy couples is beautiful. Not one female has rejected an offer since Zor, and each one has seemed pleased with the male that has chosen her.Even Xiu seemed like she was on cloud nine when she was whisked away to the planet Gaimo. Zuri and Jia cried happily when they were chosen, which of course, made me cry. But I feel so happy for them, and I know I will see them soon. "Next up is Captian Teo," the announcer says, and I smile as a male from Cok steps forward. I am so eager to watch another happy couple that it takes me a moment to realize the tannish-brown soldier is heading straight in my direction. But when his serious eyes collide with mine, my heart cracks. He comes to a halt right in front of me, and I instantly fill with dread. "Krystal of Earth, I offer you my hand," he says, and I almost take a step back. Panic has set in completely as I stare at him. I don't know this male, and I don't want him. But I don't want to ask someone to fight for m

Have you ever met a stranger and felt an instant connection? Have you ever had butterflies in your stomach and an unbreakable smile on your face? Well, I haven't...until now. I have never felt like this before. I barely even know this man, and I am going goo goo over him. Just knowing that he wanted me is so reassuring. This powerful, sexy man wants me...Me, the nineteen-year-old from Earth who, has very little experience with life under her belt. The woman who still cries at night because her mom can't kiss her goodnight. "Are you okay," Burk asks as my eyes focus on my new surroundings. I nod shyly, and he smiles like I just told him great news. "Good. Are you tired, or would you like a tour of your new home," Burk asks tenderly, and my eyes flick around the sparse room we landed in. The walls are a light beige, and the floor looks like painted concrete. There aren't any buttons on the wall or different colors everywhere like most of the rooms on Kea. The few chairs in the ro

BURK POV"Don't make this harder than it needs to be," Pagin says quietly so Krystal can't hear, and I growl."My mate will not be going anywhere," I snarl, and the other males tense while moving forward.The male from Makskin places his hand on the hilt of his knife, and I feel my body expand as my muscles prepare themselves."Princess Zor's allegation will be verified," he states, and I shift into a defensive stance."My. Mate. Will. Not. Be. Going. Anywhere. With. You," I snap, and he smirks just as Hij growls from behind me."I will go under two conditions," Krystal says loudly from behind me, and I spin around to find Hij trying to reposition her behind him in a respectful way.She dodges his attempt, and he stops trying to move her. She looks at me for a moment, and I realize her fear is no longer visible. Her eyes look as angry as I feel. She looks strong. Like a soldier prepared for battle and my anger lessens. My mind goes to her past, and my heart swells. My mate is a fighte

BURK POV My eyes scan Garlof's face again as we wait for the results on our females. His face appears calm, but the slight tick in his eyebrow lets me know he is as anxious as I am. Annoyance and anger fill my mind as I continue to stare. He doesn't glance back at me even though he is fully aware of my gaze. His female is causing all of this because I wouldn't fight for her. She let my rejection hurt her pride, and now my new life is being interrupted. He has to know these things. His mind is as sharp as mine is. "It shouldn't be much longer," Pagin says, and I look towards his tranquil features. Garlof shifts in his seat in my peripheral vision, and my jaw clenches slightly. "What will happen if the results prove that a female lied," Garlof asks, and Pagin glances at me before the male Makskin smirks. "The human would be killed. Earth is under our protection due to the Harvest treaty. They do not send soldiers, so their harvested females are expected to follow every g

Silence falls around Zor and me as the other females leave the room. Tension begins to charge the air around us, so I look away from her still body. I don't want anything to do with her, and now that I have proven I am a virgin, she should leave me alone. Burk and I will get to leave Kea for the second time today. She will have to face the consequences of her actions. If she had just let me enjoy my life no one had to know about her. She could have been happy with Garlof. "I was supposed to mate with the best. Commander Burk is gold status, and he was supposed to be mine...How did you lure him away from me so quickly," Zor suddenly demands, and I turn my head back to find her staring at me carefully. "I didn't lure him. I didn't do anything special. I was just me," I reply, and she shakes her head. She looks at the door as if expecting someone to be there, and I let my eyes travel over her perfect body. She could have anyone is wants, but she doesn't base what she wants on
