My plan is working. This human is going to be mine.

Bergelmir

Three moon cycles later…

“Why does that tiny human you’ve befriended get to call you ‘Berg’ but the rest of us have to slog through your full name?” my brother asks.

I let out an impatient exhale and flick my barbed tail at him through the vid screen. I don’t have time for his crap. Doesn’t he understand the enormity of this situation? I have work to do, saving the planet. Again. My Black Ops team is fitting up and loading the stealth craft. This transmission is set to go dark in sixty seconds. “Chloe Chang is carrying my offspring,” I grit as I stride across the busy hangar. “Therefore, she can call me whatever the hell she likes.”

Aegir narrows his eyes at me. “You like that female, don’t you?”

“Of course I like her. She’s my friend. I chose her to be my surrogate, didn’t I?”

That’s my cover and I’m sticking with it.

In fact, Chloe is the sexiest female I’ve ever seen in real life and I want her as my bound. I’ve wanted her as the mother of my offspring since the moment I met her through that vid screen in Aegir’s kitchen. I fell instantly in love with that human female and I’ve never been the same. I was knocked on my ass by her thick, curvy shape, her adorable features and hell, I even like that exotic black “hair” that falls from the top of her perfect head. The sound of her sensual voice through a vid screen is enough to cause my cock to swell in a matter of seconds.

And to make matters worse, she’s interesting, funny and a very loyal friend. She’s all the things I’d ever want in a mate, and yet I recently discovered my plans for making her my bound are wrecked to hyro hell and I cannot have her according to my original timeline. And I’m pissed.

“No, you like her. As in, you want to pleasure mate her.”

I stop in my tracks and look at Aegir straight on through the screen. Smoke wafts from my nostrils and a Touchstone growl rumbles in my chest. First, how did he guess this, when I thought I hid my private feelings so well? And second, I cannot believe my brother is accusing me of such dishonor. He thinks I would pleasure mate this female when it’s illegal to take a human as my bound? I would never dishonor Chloe in such a way. I am committed to waiting until the laws change and I can have her as mine, free and clear, under Hyrrokin Law. This is the Touchstone way.

I made the fatal error of slowly courting Chloe through messages and vid, trying to bond with my female and give her time to get to know me and my species. I never told her, or anyone, of my true intentions. There is no record of my female having had any other males in her life and I suspect she has never pleasure mated and is therefore a virgin. I didn’t want to scare her with the ferocity of my raging Hyrrokin lust. But as we spoke, I could see through the vid the physical signs of her own arousal for me and the tenderness in her gaze. Her cheeks would often flush a charming pink and her voice would deepen. Her nipples hardened into tempting points through her clothing. I know she wants more than friendship too. I greatly enjoyed all of our time spent chatting. Normally, I never “chat” with anyone.

But again, I waited. I went on a typical, low risk mission with my security company and did not declare my feelings. I thought we had plenty of time. I could declare myself when I returned.

But this ended up being the worst decision ever.

If I’d swooped down to New Earth right after I’d met her and immediately dragged Chloe off to a Hyrrokin courthouse and made her my bound, prior to the laws changing, none of this would be happening.

I am single and unmated, as is Chloe. There should be no barrier to our consummation. But because humans are now illegal to have as a bound, I cannot even pleasure mate with her. I’m locked inside the narrow confines of the shifting laws of my land. When a Hyrrokin is bonded to another, we do not pleasure mate outside of that bound mating, ever, but even so, some of my species are known to
