Travlr (The Mating Games series Book 2) by Catty Diva Page A

some support but he just looked away. “I’m family.” She insisted.
    “Only when you want to be.”
    “Lista, you’re my sister. You can’t mean to let him send me away.”
    “Since you’ve gotten here you’ve insulted my brother in law and tried to steal my mate. I don’t owe you anything and I wish you’d never come.”
    “You’ve poisoned your husband toward me because you knew he’d prefer me, they always do. She’s just jealous because I’m smarter and prettier.”
    “Why’d you really leave Earth, Narcissi?” Lista asked.
    “You know there aren’t any men. Even a great catch like me can’t find a decent man. Here, even you found one.” Narcissi didn’t understand why everyone was staring at her. She looked down to see if there was a stain on her dress or something peeking out that shouldn’t. “Why are you all staring at me like that?”
    “You don’t even know what you’re doing is wrong.” Razar shook his head sadly. Narcissi didn’t understand what they were talking about. Her plan had been to come here so she’d be treated like the queen she was.
    “I’ve done nothing wrong. The fault is with you. You don’t recognize beauty and perfection when you are presented with it.”
    “Travlr, take her to the other females awaiting the mating games. The gods and goddesses have mercy on whoever catches her.”
    “I don’t want to mate one of you unless I get you.”
    “The males in the games all have enough money to keep you reasonably happy. It’s that, or you go back to Earth. What is your decision?”
    “I can’t go back,” she whispered.
    “Take her to the check in point. Thanks Travlr.”
    Narcissi couldn’t believe this was happening to her. Her plans never went wrong this badly. There must have been something she’d overlooked. She followed behind Travlr stunned at how things were turning out. He helped her get into his car and in mere moments they arrived. As he escorted her into the building, she was almost overcome with anger. How dare they do this to her?
    “Hey, Needar. I’ve got a potential bride for you. Her name is Narcissi.” Travlr explained as he waited to see if he could escape now.
    “Aren’t you signed up for this hunt?” Needar asked as he looked between Travlr and Narcissi.
    “I am.”
    “And why don’t you just claim her?”
    “She’s not the one for me.”
    “Okay. She needs to fill this out and designate where her money goes.”
    Narcissi grabbed the paper and the marker. If there was money to be made, she would get it and not anyone else. She filled out the form quickly and handed it back to the weird guy behind the counter.
    “Follow me.” He said as he led her back to the rooms the females stayed in. Travlr made his escape as quickly as possible. Asshole!
    “You’ll have a roommate and she’s already picked her bed, you’ll get the other one.” Needar stared at her.
    “I’m fine. You can leave.”
    “I’ll stay if you want.”
    “No, you can go.” Needar left reluctantly. Narcissi couldn’t believe he thought she would be interested in him.
    It wasn’t long before she heard the sounds of footsteps in the hall. A female with red hair slipped in and smiled at her. “I didn’t know I had a roommate. You missed some of the education about the area.”
    “Too bad. I’ll make do. Which bed is yours?” Narcissi asked.
    The female dropped on it as an answer. Narcissi dropped on the other one. “My name is Saari. My grandmother was East Indian. What’s your name?”
    “My name is Narcissi and I don’t want to be friends. I only want to talk when we have to and if you need something, don’t ask me.” Narcissi ignored Saari who was struck speechless and rolled over on her bunk trying to get comfortable.
    It would have been easier to sleep had her roommate not changed clothes and then studied. The turning pages rubbed just as Narcissi started to drift off. It was almost like she was being punished. Even fate seemed to be
