Free Beast Planet 1: Captive Surrender by Angela Castle

looked like she was about to pop a brain gasket. “You’re all nothing but alien sluts, and no, I don’t have anything suck in me you dumb shit, and I don’t plan to either.” She snared at Makkiu . He glanced at me with a mixture of concern and pleading.
    Once recovered enough to speak, I didn’t hold back. “I’d rather be a slut than alien food. You have no idea what the Druel are going to do to you. Tell her what they did to your females Makkiu . Prove to her what will happen to her if she doesn’t accept what she’s been brought here to do. If that doesn’t change her attitude, then there is nothing any of us can do.”
    Morrdrook took over the task of rubbing my back, his smile was sad but proud.
    “It is good idea to try Makkiu .” Morrdrook nodded in approval of my idea.
    “I will, appreciation to you both.”
    My eyes widened watching Joan’s face flush , her whole body seemed to shake in rage. “You interfering bitch!”
    I was startled as Joan suddenly leaped up onto the seat, launching herself at me from across the table. Makkiu easily caught her about the waist before she could even get close.
    She lashed out with all her fury, screaming and kicking at Makkiu . I felt bad for him, seeing the worry in his eyes. Once again he was forced to throw her over his shoulder and carry her out.
    “That’s a lot of pent up rage.” Abby’s said from behind me. “If anyone is in need of a good shagging, it’s her.”
    I grinned and Abby hi-fived me.
    “We have much to learn about hu - mon females.” Rumbled Nular , helping Abby onto the bench.
    “Stay, while I get us food.”
    I watched Abby’s gaze follow Nular as he joined the line to grab a tray. “Love it when he’s all bossy.”
    With a laugh, I wiggled off Morrdrook’s lap to sit next to my friend. He stared as if he was not sure what to make of me. “What? You said no fighting, you didn’t say anything about verbal smack downs.”
    “Smack downs? Hu-mon’s have strange words, strange ways. Why try to help Makkiu , when he not your male?”
    I studied Morrdrook’s face, he didn’t appear jealous in anyway. “We have a saying on Earth. Your friends are my friends. I just hope he’s able to make Joan see some sense. I may not like her, but I don’t want her to die either.”
    Morrdrook’s expression softened, he gently stroked a finger down my cheek. “My Aunna is kind and strong of heart.” I melted under his praise and at his tender touch. Why did he always have to be so sweet?
    “Is it true? Nular said , if all goes to plan we won’t be in this hell hole for much longer.”
    “ Druel will go into hibernation cycle, we will be returned to Zakiu home world. Big games coming, much fights before end of season. They also know we will be carful to care for our seeded females, when buds begin to grow.”
    “Fucking bastards are using us as leverage over you.” Abby’s eyes sparkled with anger. I felt the rage right along beside her.
    “ Druel give Zakiu no choice. We fight not to die; we breed not to die.” His tone held an edge of anger. Even though we were in a similar situation, my heart broke for him. I swallowed several times and blinked, struggling to reign in my rampant emotions.
    “How long as this been going on? The Druel taking the Zakiu and the others for their games.”
    Nular returned, scooping Abby up and onto his lap as he seated himself. She was so small compared to Nular’s large bulk. But she seemed as content as I was with Morrdrook.
    “Before my memories take hold, older ones talked of large Zakiu cities reaching towards our pales skies, but Druel come, destroy and take.”
    “I’m so sorry.” I gave his arm a squeeze.
    “One day, we find a way to fight back,” Nular said, picking up cubes feeding them to an accepting Abby.
    I sighed, my gaze wandered over to where the robots of the Druel hovered—our prison guards. You could almost forget they were there, appearances were deceptive.
    “Has anyone
