Free Prime Deliverance (Katieran Prime Series (Book Five)) by KD Jones Page A

Kiljorn Prime Leader KadEN.
    “Sir?” TarAK asked, hating to show any kind of respect to the male who was after his female.
    KadEN walked around TarAK, circling him. He leaned down and took a whiff of air. “I could have you executed for touching her.”
    TarAK knew exactly who he was talking about. “I’m her security liaison.”
    KadEN stopped to stand in front of him. “I can provide her with all the security she would ever need. I can also give her the status that is due her, a palace to live in, and anything else she could ever want for.”
    TarAK fought the growl rising up within him. “You can, that is true. However, that is only if she accepts your offer of mating.”
    KadEN laughed, “You think she would not choose me?”
    “It is still her choice to make.”
    “It is her choice. However, I won’t stand idly by while she has her emotions played with,” the Prime Leader said angrily.
    TarAK growled. “Neither will I. I have seen the way you look at the Earth female, Miss Carreli. I won’t have AriELa commit herself to mating a male that cannot remain faithful to her.”
    Both males stood face-to-face, eye-to-eye. Neither backing down. KadEN had to admire the young security liaison for having the strength to stand up to a Prime. “Then we are both in agreement as far as Prima AriELa is concerned. She will be allowed to make her choice without manipulation.”
    “Agreed.” TarAK nodded.
     

 
    Chapter Ten
     
    AriELa wanted to go home to Katiera. It was really awkward having the Kiljorn Prime Leader and his people trying to woo her with TarAK watching it all. She was pissed at him and she was sad. She couldn’t go anywhere until her cousins returned. They should have been back by now.
    She was awake but Lindsey wasn’t. She had come in late and was still asleep. The bell to the suite went off. She answered it finding TarAK standing there with a worried expression on his face.
    “What is it?” she asked making room for him to walk inside.
    “Where is Miss Carreli?”
    “Sleeping. What is going on?” Something in his eyes made her heart beat faster with fear.
    “The Morins have attacked the Katieran Transport carrying a ship full of Earth females. I need to have you and Miss Carreli in the same room while we await word from Prime Commander KydEL,” TarAK explained. AriELa ran to the door of Lindsey’s bedroom and pounded on it.
    “What’s going on?” Lindsey asked as she came out of her bedroom looking extremely tired.
    “The Katieran Transport carrying another shipment of Earth refugees is under attack by the Morins,” TarAK explained. “The two of you must remain in your suite until we are given the all clear.” TarAK gently steered AriELa back to the center of the room. She was starting to shake.
    She felt Lindsey squeeze her hand. She needed to say something. “Kyd and Syd are on the Kiljorn Transport which is on the way to intercede with the Morins.”
    Lindsey asked her, “What about Jaxon and Kat?”
    “They are on board the transport as well. They do not understand the danger they are going into. The Morins are evil. They cannot be reasoned with. All they care about is taking what they want and leaving destruction in their path.”
    AriELa hadn’t meant to but she started talking about when the Morins had attacked her family. “I was fourteen. My father and mother were bringing me to Katiera to visit with my aunt and cousins when our ship was attacked.” Tears were coming down AriELa’s face without her realizing it. She was staring into space as if she was seeing it all over again right before her. “I lost everything that day.”
    TarAK wanted to kill something. It tore him apart inside to watch AriELa relive the death of her family. He had thought she was too young and traumatized to recall the event. But it was a day he would recall for the rest of his life.
    He had still been in warrior training, but his father allowed him to come on the rescue team to search for the
