Humans aren’t citizens. They’re livestock. Reared to be managed, traded, and harvested by a race that abandoned human mortality centuries ago.
Azelorah has survived the pens by staying invisible… until the day the nine-foot alien Commander General chooses her.
The Aurelians are supremely beings that have evolved passed the messily shackles of emotions and feelings.
So of course the chief commander wasn't supposed to feel anything. His species reproduces in labs, not through intimacy. Love is a myth; attachment is a defect.
So why does his pulse spike whenever she looks at him?
Why does his tail glow—something it should never do—only when she’s near?
To the aliens, she’s property.
To him, she’s a glitch in his biology.
To herself, she’s torn between fear, fury… and the forbidden pull toward the monster who could end her life—or save it.
When the empire discovers his growing obsession, Azelorah becomes a target…
and the commander must decide:
Abandon her like a proper soldier—
or claim her, and ignite a war that could destroy them both.
