Drackon Mates-The Complete Series (Books 1-6): A Sci Fi Alien Weredragon Romance Read online

  She tilted her head sideways and looked at me as she narrowed her eyes. It was sort of cute and attractive. I grinned in response. Then she said, "Do you know my profession on Earth?"

  "No, why would it matter now. You will have no profession, only be my wife and mother to my offspring."

  She huffed in irritation and said, "I am a geologist. I study the land of the Earth. I love it very much and it is my passion. I love the land and would like to be able to see the land of Mooreah. I have seen photos of Sala and it is a desert. Although I can find beauty in the desert it does not have the diversity of Mooreah."

  "I understand. We will take many trips to Mooreah if that will please you."

  "Yes, it would but not as much as actually living on Mooreah would."

  I smiled at her defiance. She was persistent and not the weakling I thought her to be. She would make a strong mother for our offspring.

  "I will take your desires into consideration, but I am a captain and I have a position to hold. Now let us speak of more pleasant matters. Let’s talk about me. Why did you choose me at the registration office? Besides the fact that I am an impressive Drackon captain," I said to her.

  "You really do you think highly of yourself, don't you?" She said to me in return.

  "Why would I not? Look at me. I am powerful and wealthy. I am the Drackon of your dreams, my dear Adriana."

  “Ugh, seriously?”

  I laughed a hearty laugh at her. She was funny and pleasant to be with. “Here, have more drink. It is a lot like wine on earth, but maybe a bit stronger.”

  “Thank you,” she said as I poured her drink. She tasted it and wrinkled her nose. It was sexy. After we ate I sat next to her pouring more drink. Her pheromones were driving me insane. I had never smelled a human female so sweet before. She was going on and on about geology and I had to make her quiet. I pushed my mouth onto hers. She moaned instantly. Her hand went to my chest and rubbed up and down. I knew it. She had been craving to touch me just as I had wanted to touch her. She moaned again as she tilted her body back, giving me permission to indulge. I put my hand on her small waist. She surprised me as she grabbed my hand with her small hand. “Here,” she whispered as she moved her hand over her breast. Her nipple was hard. I growled into her mouth. I kissed her firmly, letting my tongue explore her mouth. She was so petite and delicate. I did not want to hurt her. Then her hand moved down my belly feeling every inch of it slowly until her hand was on my hard cock. I gasped, inhaling a sharp breath. “Fuck, Adriana,” I whispered as I pulled away from her mouth and stared at her. She bit her lower lip. She was turned on. I didn’t think I could stop myself now. I hoped that she would give me more and more access to her lovely figure. But then everything changed.

  "Captain!" Lieutenant Rix shouted, interrupting us. I growled. I had been waiting to taste her lips since the elevator. Now I was indulging myself and my lieutenant was interrupting me.

  "This better be good, Lieutenant Rix," I growled as I pulled myself away from Adriana.

  "It is. We have just found out that Terik is conducting cargo checks himself on Sala. He is checking every single ship personally," my lieutenant said.

  I growled. I had to force myself from not shifting into dragon form. I hated the Land Sentinel Terik Vuna. We had been at odds for many years now and lately he had been extra annoying to me. Now he was searching for illegal cargo. I knew exactly what this meant. He was on to me. I would not get caught.

  "Stop the ship! I shall make arrangements to transfer the cargo in space before we land on Sala."

  "Yes Captain, right away!" My lieutenant shouted before leaving us.

  "Mordikye, is everything alright?" Adriana asked me. She did not need to be informed about what I was doing. The less she knew the better. She was starting to grow on me and I did not want her to be involved in a dangerous situation more than she already was.

  "Yes, all is fine Adriana. Return to your living quarters. Stay there until I come to get you. You have all that you need," I said pulling her toward me and planting a firm kiss on her soft lips. She melted in my arms and I wanted to follow her to her living quarters and make love to her, but I had other matters to attend to.

  She turned and walked away but not before I slapped her plump behind. She let out a little squeal. It was charming. After she left my sight I moved to the flight deck and made arrangements to contact my plutonium buyer. I was not going to let Terik win this one. I had gone through a lot of trouble to get this plutonium and carry the dangerous element on my ship. I would get the wealth that was coming to me from my buyer even if I had to detour before going to Sala. It would mean putting off my marriage to Adriana a little longer, but it was worth it. The wealth from the plutonium would allow me to buy second living quarters on Mooreah if she desired. There was no way in hell that I was going to be locked in prison for my illegal trade. I would do anything necessary to keep from being locked up, no matter how wrong it was.

  Chapter 3

  LAND SENTINEL TERIK VUNA

  “Sentinel Vuna, the report is in. There has been illegal cargo coming in to Sala. The Drackon we captured yesterday has confirmed it. He does not know the source of the information but he overheard it. It is all that we have now."

  "Thank you for the report. I have a good idea of who it is. I have had my suspicions for a while, but have not been able to capture him in action. The King has given me permission to search every ship that comes into Sala starting now. I am leaving Mooreah now for Sala. Contact Sala port and let them know of my arrival," I said as I stepped into my ship.

  As the Land Sentinel I had been assigned to protect the resources of Mooreah. That meant protecting them from leaving Mooreah, but also protecting the planet from unusual imported materials from other planets that could affect the stability of our own. It was one of the many responsibilities of my position and I took them all very seriously. I had little time for anything else, and it was a lonely position to have because it took up all of my time. I took my work very seriously. The king had trusted me with a very important position that our planet depended on. The king trusted me so much that he even allowed Prince Caspin to accompany me on expeditions overseeing the land on Mooreah. Prince Caspin was a very intelligent and strong for his age. He was a Drackon youngling that fascinated me and made me make the decision to have one of my own. So I had begun to take part in the registration of finding a human female from Earth to be my wife. But since I had registered, I had absolutely no time to go through the piles of females and pick out a human wife. I wanted to make sure to make the right decision, and I did not take these things lightly. I was meticulous about every single decision and action I took. Now that this illegal activity had been brought to my attention, I would have even less time to find a human. I was going to be very busy for the next few months on this one mission to keep our planet safe and stop the abuse of power by particular Drackon warriors.

  My solo pod ship arrived at the port of Sala from Mooreah. The planet of Sala was a desolate rocky sand desert. The sands were a soft yellow in color and I found it beautiful, but I was a lover of all lands. The mountains in the distance were barren and made out of hard rock that soared high into the sky. The planet of Sala was a small planet, not even half the size of Mooreah. That is why we mostly used it as a port as it rotated around Mooreah. It was the perfect landing port.

  As I opened the door to my pod, my assistant Luqan was there to greet me. She was one of the few female Drackon that actually held a job position. Almost all of the Drackon females were docile and only worked in the home raising offspring and keeping house. It was the way of the Drackon. Luqan was different because she fought her way to the position and found somebody that would give her a chance--me. I knew her father well and he had convinced me to take her under my wing and train her.

  "Everything is waiting for your arrival, Sentinel Vuna. Here are the latest reports. The next cargo load coming in is the ship Beti, and the captain is Mordikye Nezis. It will be arr
iving in six hours," Luqan said as she walked alongside me toward the buildings.

  "Keep it quiet, but I want guards loaded and standing by when I greet the Beti. Make sure that we have enough space available in the prisons. I have a feeling we are going to need it," I said to her as I entered the building and made my way toward my office.

  "Yes, Sentinel, right away. There is one other matter on your agenda," she said to me while handing me a file and I knew exactly what it was.

  "Not now, Luqan" I said sliding it away from me. "I am very busy."

  "You say that every day. I know for fact that your schedule is clear for the next fifteen minutes. Take a look. It is all that I ask. I will go to the prison and to get guards standing by. I will return and expect some choices, at least one," she said walking out.

  She was right. I was never going to find a human wife if I kept putting it off any longer. I opened the file and began to read through the paperwork that each female had filled out about themselves. All seemed to be exactly like the females on Mooreah. They were simply looking for a husband. None of them had their own professions, even though on Earth they were allowed to. I wanted more in a wife than just being the mother of my offspring. I wanted a true partner, one that I could share my passions with. Then it happened. I flipped a page and the beauty staring at me from the photograph was something that I could not deny. Her face was exquisite. Her long black hair made me want to run my fingers through it. Her brown eyes were full of fire and passion. Who was this human female? "Dr. Adriana Adams," I read her name out loud. What kind of doctor was she? I began to read the facts on her. She was not a medical doctor, she was a research doctor, something called a geologist. She was a custodian of the land, just as I was here. My heart began to beat faster, could it be? Was it possible that I had stumbled upon a beauty that also managed to intrigue my mind as well? I had never seen any like her when I was searching through the choices before. She was the one. I grabbed her information and put it aside. I noticed the date that she had registered and weeks had already gone by. What if she had already been chosen? It was possible that it was so because who would pass up this intelligent beauty? I began to panic. For the first time I felt rushed to make sure that I could chose her. She had already chosen me. She had picked me out from a group of thousands of Drackon, and she was just waiting for me on Earth. I pressed the button on my communication line and demanded, "Luqan, come back to my office at once!"

  "I will be right there sir," Luqan said on the other side of the line.

  Minutes later she burst into the office out of breath, "What is it? Has Mordikye arrived early?” she asked.

  "No, this is urgent. I have found my choice. I want you to contact the registration office on Earth to tell them that I have chosen her in return. Do it now. It is possible she is no longer available," I shouted as I shoved Adriana's information into Luqan’s hand.

  Her mouth fell open and she stood there frozen staring at me. I had shocked her. I had never been this adamant about the human female choices before.

  "Go! Now!"

  "Sir, these choices are weeks old. Would you like to pick a couple of more human females before I make the communication line to the registration office to inquire about this one? It could be that she is already been chosen by another," she asked.

  "No! I only want that one! Make sure that you do not end communication until they have told you if she is mine," I said to her.

  She was startled and then quickly moved into action, "Yes! Right away."

  I was astonished at my own quickness to make a decision. I was usually very meticulous and took my time. Normally I would want to research this Adriana Adams even more, and perhaps do an interview over communication line, but something told me I could not wait that long. It was my intuition, and I trusted my intuition because I thought it came from my connection to the land. It was a sort of mysticism. I relaxed and moved my focus back to my work. I had an illegal cargo to deal with. But every time I tried to focus on work, I only saw Adriana’s face.

  It was unbelievable! I had only seen and read about this human female and already she was occupying my mind and taking me away from my responsibilities. "Shit." I said to myself, knowing that this was why I had not picked a female mate yet. It was because I had too much to do and it required all of my concentration. So much was at risk if I made a mistake because of distraction. I pushed the file of human females off my desk and went to back to work. The king had entrusted me with capturing Mordikye and any time we incarcerated our own it was a big step to take. It was not something that the Drackon took lightly. We had very few betrayers in our time, but the most recent was the King’s own brother. Because of that experience he wanted every act of mutiny to be stopped in its tracks quickly and efficiently. Therefore Mordikye’s guilt was not in doubt. He was already seen as guilty and did not know it.

  I cleared my mind and went to work making the arrangements for Mordikye’s arrest. Two hours went by before Luqan was once again in my office.

  "Well, what did you find out about the human female? " I asked as I stood up and went to her side.

  "I waited until the registration office replied to me. I am sorry sir, she has already been chosen by another. Perhaps next time you won't wait as long," she said to me smugly.

  "There won't be a next time. I want that one. I want no other. There must be some way. As soon as we are done with this Mordikye business, find out who she has been matched too. It is too soon for her to have been shipped here to be married, so she must still be on Earth and there is something that we can do about it. For now let's concentrate on the matters at hand. I am heading to the docks to await the ship’s arrival," I said as I moved past her and out of my office. I was pissed off. She was right. I had waited too long. That woman could now be mine and all I would have had to do was wait for her to arrive after all the paperwork was done with. It was the fault of my stubbornness. But I wasn't going to give up. I had waited too long to find a real match, and now that I had finally found one and I was not going to let her get away. Surely someone in my position of power could make the arrangement for her to be my wife; after all, I was a trusted advisor to the king and was the Land Sentinel. But when I arrived at the docks there was a surprise.

  "Sir, we have lost all contact with the Beti," the dock master said to me.

  "When?" I asked.

  "Just now sir," he replied.

  "And where is the Beti now?" I asked.

  "We do not know sir. She appears to have disappeared off tracking. We are trying to make contact and locate her coordinates as we speak."

  I knew exactly what Mordikye was up to. He was trying to unload his illegal cargo and was going off course to either meet another party to unload the cargo, or he was going to unload it into the blackness of space.

  "Launch five scout ships to search within a one thousand mile range of the last coordinates of the Beti. Tell them to stay in constant contact," I said to the dockmaster.

  "Right away," he responded.

  It didn't matter if we caught Mordikye in the act. He was already acting guilty for something we were already going to accuse him of. This would make it easier on our part to discharge him of his captain position and title. It would also make it easier to take his ship and his crew prisoner. They had violated the Drackon laws. I knew that the captain was scheduled to bring a batch of human female brides from Earth on this particular mission. I hoped that he was not putting those females in danger simply for his illegal cargo antics. It was uncalled for. If those females were in any danger it would create tension between Mooreah and Earth. Earth would no longer trust us to take females from their planet. It would be a disaster that was capable of launching an intergalactic war between the humans and the weredragons. It had to be stopped. Those scouts would force the Beti, including the human females, to return to Sala safely.

  I went straight to my office and ordered open a communication line straight to King Jarith Rykor.

  "King Jarith Ryk
or, it is just as I had thought. The ship captained by Mordikye has gone dark. All communication lines have been lost and its tracking has been turned off. I have launched five scout ships to find its location."

  "Good work and quick thinking, Sentinel Vuna. It does seem that you were right about Mordikye. I am glad that you were handling this. You have my full permission to arrest him on site if he returns. Let us hope that he has not gone rogue with the cargo of human females. That would be a tragedy that we could not fix with the Earthlings."

  "I do think that he shall return. He has no reason to think that he has been caught, unless we have a mole on our part. If someone is communicating to Mordikye our moves and suspicion of him, then he would have received information that I was now checking all cargo ships personally on Sala."

  "You think there is a spy among us? That would make sense. After everything I went through with my brother I wouldn’t doubt it. Let us keep all information between the two of us and only inform others of your actions when it is absolutely necessary," King Jarith Rykor said.
