that is serious. We Katierans do not share our mates.”
    Lindsey nodded sadly, “I understand and I would feel the same if I were in your shoes. When were you planning on going back?”
    “Some time in the next few days. I want to spend time with my new little cousins. They are adorable and seem to grow bigger each day. I will miss them the most when I move to Kiljor.”
     
     

 
    Chapter Eleven
     
    A couple of weeks later in the Kiljorn Solar System
     
    AriELa was not as enthusiastic this time around as she traveled back to Kiljor. Her travel companions kept her entertained though. Prime Commander TylOR and his brother AshOR constantly bickered with one another. She smiled sadly watching them. She had always wished for a brother or sister instead of being an only child. She had been overjoyed when they found out her mother was breeding. She had to fight to keep from crying over the loss of a brother she would never know.
    AshOR had been born and raised on the Colonial Planet. That was where all the Katierans and Kiljorns with the worst mutations chose to live. They had wanted to keep themselves separate. In so doing, there were so many things that were unknown about the Colonists.
    AshOR was just as handsome as his older brother. He was a little shorter than his brother’s seven feet but had a very similar muscular build. Both men had bald heads, which was very unusual among the Katierans. AriELa found them both attractive despite the hairless state that was a side effect from the virus the Morins had introduced. Though the two brothers looked very similar, their personalities were complete opposites. Commander TylOR was serious and imposing. AshOR was more easygoing and approachable. They had been raised apart. TylOR was raised on Kiljor and AshOR had been raised with his sister on the Colonial planet.
    AriELa was fascinated with the Colonial planet. She hoped to ask the leader of the Colony, LarIS, more about his people. He was scheduled to come to Kiljor to discuss joining in the alliance between Katiera and Kiljor.
    She glanced behind her where TarAK sat with the Earth female, Second Lieutenant Lucinda Daniels. Jaxon had convinced KydEL to send Second Lieutenant Daniels to expand her training experience. The female warrior would be assisting TarAK in watching over and protecting AriELa.
    AriELa was fascinated with the female warrior. She worried that maybe she had asked the other woman too many questions, but the Second Lieutenant was always helpful and answered each and every question asked of her. The three women had shared sleeping quarters on the Transport ship, so she told AriELa and Lindsey to call her Lucy.
    Lucy was tall, close to AriELa’s height. Slim in her hips but voluptuous on her top and backside. Her dark mocha skin and ebony hair was so exotic, the men could not help but stare at her, and neither could AriELa. She envied the female. Lucy could choose any available male that she wanted. AriELa wished that for herself. The right to choose her mate. Well, she had chosen, but he did not choose her in return.
    Young AshOR jumped up from his seat to help the three women off the shuttle. When he held onto AriELa’s hand a little longer than necessary, TarAK growled at him threateningly. AshOR growled back at TarAK. Commander TylOR said something to his brother to get him to help with the luggage. Then the three females were shown to their suite.
    An hour after their arrival, the buzzer to the suite went off. AriELa answered the door to find Prime Leader KadEN standing there.
    “Welcome back, Prima AriELa.” KadEN bent to kiss her hand. He released her and looked around the room. He greeted Lindsey who was standing in the corner.
    “Miss Carreli, a pleasure to have you back.”
    “Thank you.”
    His gaze lingered on Lindsey. He then turned his attention back to AriELa. “I apologize for not being on the landing platform to greet you when you arrived. I was making arrangements for when the
