Alien Mask
by Ursa Dax
Synopsis
“I never wanted a mate. Until this troublesome human showed up and changed everything.” PRIYA Lerokan is a huge pain in my human butt. He’s cocky, obnoxious, and refuses to show me his face, hiding it behind a bone mask. He keeps saying he saved me from the battle. But all I see is the man who separated me from my friends. Luckily, he seems to find me just as annoying as I find him, and he agrees to take me back to my friends as soon as it’s safe. But then a sudden storm traps us in a deep, dark cave… For days on end… Together. LEROKAN I’ve been exiled from my tribe for sixty-two days, all because I don’t want a mate. Well, that’s fine. I’ll wear the mask of an exile and remain alone out here if it means I don’t have to lose myself in the mate bond. Only, I’m suddenly not so alone after I rescue a small boy from a battle. Turns out, it’s not a small boy. She’s a female. I have now saddled myself with the strangest, mouthiest woman I could possibly imagine. The worst part? The longer we’re together, the more I grow to like that mouth. And those eyes. Her laugh. Her many, many frowns… Alas. Lerokan the exile is now Lerokan in love. But despite my obvious charms, all Priya wants is to get back to her friends. And away from me .
