My alien mate (Alien planet , #1)

Hanna POV-Shocked

Sweet Goddess! I thought a creature was behind me but nothing prepared me for this. A native alien is standing right in front of me. I am speechless. He looks like... How do I describe him? An angel and a dark day/elf have a baby and the baby grew up and is standing in front of me. He is tall, maybe 2m, wings with black feathers, his ears are pointy like those of an elf, this hair's color is lavender and he wears it braided in many braids, and they are secured behind his bag with a ribbon or something. His skin color is gray and his eyes are a soft color of honey. He has his ears pierced, five round rings in each ear. He wears leather made pants, belt, and boots, and a vest made out of a combination of fur and cotton, or at least I think is cotton. And he has a bow and a sword. And that sword looks very sharp and hope he is not going to use it with me. He stares into my eyes for a few seconds, and this time I hope he is not going to use that sword on me. But to my surprise, he kneels in front of me his left knee on the ground while his right knee up and his right hand resting on top of it. His left hand is fisted next to his left knee, but he kept looking into my eyes. He starts speaking in a guttural voice.

-I am Da'r, I will always protect you and cherish you, I have waited for you many turns of the planet. You are my hearts and my beats only for you, I hear seconds later.

My heart started pounding fast and...

"Did you hear me?" Artemisia yells in my head.

"No, I was distracted by this alien. Look at him."

"Oh, but I am since he is our mate," she says.

"He is our what?" I ask because I think I didn't hear right.

"Mate, now talk to him, he smells delicious," she says.

And sure enough, he did smell delicious like coconut and vanilla.

And to my surprise, more aliens appear and Da'r rises still looking at me. For a second I thought I could hear a pained expression on his face but it was gone so fast that I wonder if it was there.

-Um, hi, I say timidly. I am not sure if any of you can understand me, but I am Hanna. And I need your help.

-We can understand you, the alien tells me. We have this thing, a "translatoor" and I can understand you. So can the others, and he points at the other five aliens that I missed because in the first place I was too busy ogling this one.

-Great, I say, I need to get my friend out of the trap pit. I think he broke his leg, so a doctor would really help, I say. Please, I add when the one named Da'r would not say anything.

-Who are you? Da'r asks me.

-Sorry, I am Hanna. But I can answer more questions when we get my friend out of there, and I point at the trap put. If you don't want to help, I understand.

But Da'r approaches me, takes my hand into his, puts it on my chest, where his heart is, and tells me:

-You are my mate, I would do anything you ask me to.

And I can't stop staring into those eyes and everything fades away until is only me and this alien. He is my mate, but how? I have never thought an alien, as hot as he may be, would be my mate. Heck, I never thought I would end up on an alien planet in the first place. I cloud already feel the mate bound

pull, and all I want to do is to stare forever in those honey eyes.

Because all I could see was Da'r I have missed when then others took Seth out of the trap pit. It is only when one of the other aliens points out to me is when I manage to pull out from Da'r and I find myself blushing, hard.

-Thank you, I say looking at the alien that informed me that Seth was out. I am in debt with you!

- In debt? What is that?

-It means that I will help you if you ever need my help.

He looks at me for a while and then he nods. He then points out to him and then to another alien, and I observe she is a girl.

-I am Ka'r and that is my sister, K'li, he tells me.

K'li is gorgeous, and she is beside Seth. And poor Seth was smitten with her. I go check on Seth.

- How are you, buddy? I ask.

-I'll live, but hurts. It will take a while to heal.

I nod. Being so young meant his wolf was still dormant. Mysticals normally lived long lives, some lived up to be two hundred years. But this means that their wolf or whatever animal they have will be dormant until they were seventeen. I heard of some mysticals had their first shift at twenty-five. And Seth needed a doctor because with his wolf still wolf dormant he will heal slower than an adult mystical. This meant Seth needed a doctor and fast.

- Do you know where I can find a doctor?

-A doctor? Da'r ask. What is that?

-A person that heals, I say.

Don't tell me they don't have a doctor.

-Ah, a healer. We have one back at our tribe. We will take you there.

-I can't come, I say. I need to go back, and I point up at the mountain I came from while Da'r looked where I was pointing, and rescue the others.

- Others? What others? another alien asks.

-There are more of my people there and they need help.

-Don't worry my hearts, your tribe will be safe. How big is your tribe? Da'r asks.

-Um five men and sixteen girls, I say.

-Sixteen girls, up there? Da'r we need to save them, one of the aliens says.

Da'r, who was looking at me all the time, turns to where K'li was.

-K'li and D'vv take the kit to the healer. Me, H'na, and the others will save H'na's tribe.
