Zahin's Intended (Sukaraian Warriors Book 1) Read online

  “It is. You’ve been in here a long time, so I wanted to make sure everything was Ok, and to let you know we will arrive home today.”

  “We have been asleep that long?” I asked.

  “Yes, but what did you expect. You hadn’t slept for four moon cycles.” Eliana stirred in my arms. I looked down just in time to see her eyes open. She smiled at me and my heart melted.

  “Hi.” She said shyly. I laughed and Dar looked at me in surprise. He rarely saw his friend so light hearted.

  “Did you sleep well?” I asked her.

  “Yes, it was the best I have slept in a while.” She looked around the room and spotted Dar. She realized that she was naked once again. It was all she could do not to cover herself up, but if she wanted a life with Zahin then she was going to try to accept their way, their culture. She wasn’t on Earth anymore.

  “Hi Dar.” She smiled. “Why do you always seem to sneak in when we’re naked or having sex?”

  “Because you want invite me to watch or participate.” He said sincerely. I threw my head back and laughed, and then Eliana did the same.

  “Is that really a common thing to do? She asked.

  “Yes” We both answered at the same time. She looked from one to the other.

  “And you both like that? To share a female?” She was very curious. Dar answered first.

  “Yes I do. It’s very arousing when we are dominating a female. She is completely at our mercy when she is locked between us. However, you are promised as Zahin’s Ardhangini so he is the only one that can invite me to join, and I can only fuck your ass so there will never be a question about the parentage of young.

  “At first I didn’t want any male to touch you Eliana, but now that we have stated our intentions to each other, it doesn’t bother me when Dar looks at you or states his desires. Now that you are marked, I get to say if anyone else touches you. The only other male I would be comfortable with is Tolan. You haven’t met him yet. As for having young, that is rarely an issue. When the fertile time comes, you will only have me.” I said.

  “First let me say I better NEVER catch you with another female. I don’t share. EVER. Do you understand that?” She asked me.

  “Yes.” I laughed.

  “And second, why is it rarely an issue? I don’t understand.” She asked with a confused look on her face. She was starting to realize there was still a lot she didn’t know about his culture.

  “Because we know when the fertile time comes, and we keep our Ardhangini with us then.” I was looking at her with a puzzled look.

  “How can you know? Even I’m not exactly sure.” She said slowly.

  “Because all the females have their fertile time every planet cycle at the same time.” I was watching her closely. Her eyes closed and she swallowed hard.

  “Oh God.” She murmured. He had no idea that she could be pregnant. That’s why he is never worried about it. That’s probably why they removed her birth control, they didn’t know what it was because birth control here was avoiding a fertile female once a year. What would he think when she finally told him she was pregnant. “I need to go to the cleansing room and take a much needed shower, and get ready for today.” She kissed me lightly and strutted across the room. She could feel both of us watching her as she left.

  “What do you think that was about?” Dar asked.

  “I don’t know.” I was still puzzled by that odd exchange.

  Eliana

  I was in the shower thinking about all that I had found out. Zahin didn’t mind sharing with his best friend or his older brother. Even though I would never share Zahin with a female, the thought of two males taking me at the same time terrified and excited me at the same time. I couldn’t imagine what that would be like. Sex with Zahin was intense, I couldn’t imagine it being twice as intense. I started to get aroused just thinking about it. Could I do it though? I was trying to conform to their way of life, but somethings I wouldn’t budge on, like sharing Zahin with other females. But if he did that for me, could I deny him if he wanted someone else, like Dar, to join us in the bedroom. I was not a prude by no means, but this was certainly stretching the boundaries of my moral compass. And how was I supposed to tell Zahin about the baby. We were already getting married. I could have told him while we were talking earlier, but the truth was simple, I was scared. Not scared of Zahin, but of what his family, his people would think of me. I decided to wait before I added more stress to the situation.

  After showering, I dressed and went to find Zahin. I was hungry and was ready to eat. At least the nausea had passed. It was hard to keep up with time on the ship, but as far as I could tell I was almost two months along.

  Zahin was still talking with Dar. As he looked over at me his jaw dropped as his eyes scanned my body. I had on a light blue shimmering dress that hugged my body. I had a small baby bump, but only I noticed the difference in my body. My boobs were slightly bigger as well. The dress had a low cut v neck, and stopped mid-way down my thighs. When I looked at Dar, he looked the same as Zahin. My gaze dropped and I could see that both males had a rock hard cock by the outlines I could see in their pants.

  “Do you like it? Adriana gave it to me, she gave me others as well. Seems like Prince Pakhi didn’t like for her to wear them.” I said. Zahin walked over to me and ran his hands up and down my body. I was slightly embarrassed since Dar was still there. He took my hand and placed it on his cock. I gasped. He was harder than I thought was possible. He leaned down and whispered in my ear.

  “I’m sorry Eliana, and I hope you enjoy this.” He turned me around and bent me over the desk that was in the living room. He pushed my dress up and aligned his cock with my pussy and entered me with one hard thrust. He was pumping in and out when I noticed that Dar took his cock out and was stroking himself. He looked at Zahin, then smiled. Zahin leaned down and whispered.

  “Love, you do not have to do anything you don’t want to do.” Ok, I didn’t know what he was talking about until Dar walked closer and his cock was right in front of my face. I was so filled with the sensations of being fucked over a table, it didn’t even occur to me to be embarrassed. I opened my mouth and took Dar’s cock in it. I sucked him, and then I would lick the head, then suck him down the back of my throat. I heard Dar moaning, while Zahin was grunting with every hard thrust. It was sheer pleasure. My orgasm ripped through me. I sucked even harder on Dar as my pussy clamped down on Zahin. I heard them both roar when they released into me. I did move Dar’s cock before much went into my mouth. As fun as it was, I only wanted Zahin’s seed in me. Zahin was lying over top of me on the table. Both of us breathing hard.

  “I like the dress.” He finally said and I laughed.

  “Really? I couldn’t tell.” I looked up at Dar and found him looking at me with wonder in his eyes. Zahin got up and pulled his pants up, while I straightened my dress.

  “Thank you Eliana.” Dar said quietly. I looked back at him. “I have never had anyone do that. Zahin told me how great it felt, but I didn’t think it could be that great.”

  “I told you friend.” Zahin slapped him on the back. “Let’s go have first meal.”

  Chapter 23

  I was worried. We had landed on Sukara, and I had never informed my family that I had found my Ardhangini. I didn’t know how they would react once I introduced them. She was so beautiful, but so different form the other females. I held Eliana’s hand as we exited. Dar was on her other side, and Justyn and the rest of my Guard was on my other side. My father and mother met me while the rest of the family stood back.

  Eliana was looking around in amazement. The planet was beautiful. The grass and plants were blue, there was a rainbow color of flowers. The sky was a pale yellow. She was looking around when she heard someone talking.

  “Zahin, it’s good to have you back home. You were gone longer than was expected.” King Yayin said as we grasped forearms. His eyes darted down to Eliana.

  “Who is this? What is
she?” King Yayin asked, but his voice was unreadable.

  “This is Eliana, and she is from a Planet called Earth. She has agreed to be my Ardhangini. Eliana, I would like you to meet my mother Queen Saia, and my father King Yayin.” I was smiling at her, but as she looked at my parents she could see the anger in their eyes.

  “No, she can’t possibly be your Ardhangini. She is pale and small. Besides, we were planning on you asking Raaka. We are already preparing for your joining ceremony.” Queen Saia said in a matter of fact tone.

  “I agree, Raaka will make a fine Ardhangini.” King Yayin said.

  My eyes had gone deadly. Why would they be planning my joining ceremony without my consent? I would not stand here and let them insult Eliana any longer. I took Eliana’s arm and raised it to show them that it was done. I raised mine beside of hers to show that I was marked as well. We may not have had the joining ceremony, but our intentions were clear.

  “Queen Saia, King Yayin.” I never addressed my mother as queen so she knew right away that she had wounded me greatly. “Our intentions are clear. Find someone else to join with Raaka if you like her so much.” They gasped when they saw her arm marked with the royal colors, and his arm marked with her colors.

  “He’s marked!” The Queen shouted! King Yayin looked at her with so much anger she had to look away.

  “Son, follow me. We have much to discuss.” I waited then took Eliana’s hand and started to follow my father. King Yayin turned, and when he saw that I was bringing Eliana, he stopped.

  “No. Just you. Dar can show the Earth girl to a room.” I was furious!

  “No” Looking at both my mother and father I said; “You have both insulted Eliana and myself repeatedly. I will gladly step down. Tolan is very capable of being King. Eliana is my family, and right now I’m not sure what you are.” His mother gasped but I didn’t care. Eliana had been through too much for me to let my parents make her feel inferior. I took her hand and we headed to my rooms as Dar and my Guard went with me.

  Eliana

  I was shaking on the inside. Maybe on the outside as well. How could I possibly live here where I was so unwelcome? Why did I think I could have a life with Zahin? Maybe if he hadn’t been a prince, but I couldn’t help that I fell in love with him. He pulled me to him and hugged me tight. I vaguely remember hearing a knock at the door. Zahin was still holding me tight when Tolan walked in. I didn’t realize that Tolan was watching the intimate scene between me and Zahin. He was hugging me and whispering encouraging words in my ear. I wasn’t hearing much as I was thinking about the disapproval I had seen. What did that mean for my baby? Would it be an outcast as well? Zahin stepped back and looked into my eyes. He was introducing me to someone. Finally, I shook myself out of my own thoughts when tears started streaming down my face.

  “I’m sorry, what did you say Zahin?” I asked. The sadness was clear in my voice.

  “I was introducing you to my brother Tolan.”

  “It’s very nice to meet you Tolan.” I said even though tears were still running down my face. He looked horrified. Maybe he didn’t approve either.

  “What is wrong with her Zahin? Do I need to call a healer?” Tolan asked.

  “No. She is crying because she’s sad. Please don’t cry Eliana, it will be Ok.” He gathered me into his arms once again.

  “Why can’t I understand her? She has a very pleasing voice, but I don’t know what she is saying.” Tolan asked. Zahin closed his eyes. He had forgot to do so many things that he has made it more difficult on Eliana.

  “Dar, call Frith and have him update the translators so anyone that she comes in contact with can understand her.”

  “Yes Commander.” Dar left to talk to Firth. Zahin gathered me up in his arms and sat down. Tolan got them both a glass of Barla and sat down in front of us.

  “Want to tell me what all happened while you were gone brother?” Tolan asked.

  “It’s a long story.”

  “We have time before the feast tonight. Mother prepared it for you return.”

  “We will not be attending Tolan.”

  “I don’t blame you. Mother invited many females and she expected you to announce Raaka as your intended tonight.” Tolan said with a solemn face.

  “Why would she do that? Why is she so set of Raaka?”

  “For as long as you have been gone, Raaka and Mishra has told mother that you agreed to this before you left. Mother was ecstatic thinking that you might be ready to start a family. She has been preparing for your joining ceremony with Raaka.” I thought I might be sick again. I ran for another room hoping it was the cleansing room. I threw up everything I had ate that day. Zahin and Tolan had rushed in after me. When I came out I looked pale. Zahin helped me to the bed where I laid down. My body was exhausted, but my mind was racing. Zahin had someone here when he met me. Did that make me like my friend Stacey? Oh God! I was going to be sick again. I ran back to the cleansing room and dry heaved for there was nothing left in my stomach. Zahin carried me back to bed and then called for Cadas.

  Cadas came in to check me over. Zahin didn’t like how pale I was or that I was sick so much. He was standing in the doorway while Cadas checked me over. I knew the instant Cadas knew my secret. His eyes got wide as he looked up at me. I made my eyes bigger trying to let him know not to say anything. I barely shook my head no. His solid black eyes seemed to understand. It’s bizarre that I can read so much in their eyes since they have no pupil to help with that.

  “Zahin, can you step out for a moment? I need to talk to Eliana.” Cadas asked.

  “You can ask her anything with me in the room”

  “Zahin, can you please give us some privacy? It want be long love.” I asked so sweetly that he couldn’t refuse. Zahin quietly left the room and shut the door. I knew he was a little hurt, but I wasn’t ready to talk about it with him yet.

  “Eliana, you’re with young! How is that possible?” He asked excitedly.

  “I know Cadas.”

  “You knew!” He gasped. “Why haven’t you said anything? I need to do a full workup on you. We’ve never had a human/Sukaraian young before. There is so much to do!” He kept rambling on excitedly. I wasn’t sure if he even expected me to answer. So I waited. “Well?” He finally said.

  “I found out not long ago while I was on the Chandra. I never thought it was possible because I had a device in my arm that prevented me from getting pregnant.” I looked at him sternly and he looked a bit guilty because he had been the one to remove it. “I think I am around two months pregnant.” He looked at me questioningly. I had to think of how to phrase it because I wasn’t use to their measurements of time. “There of 30 moon cycles in 1 month Cadas, so two months is around 60 moon cycles.” Cadas gasped.

  “How long do human pregnancies last?”

  “Nine months.” I could tell he was doing some calculating in his head. “How long are Sukaraian pregnancies?”

  “Roughly six of your months. If you are at two of your months now, and you follow the Sukaraian timeline for having young, then you will begin to grow at a fast rate. In Sukaraian females, the young develops, and then grows at a rapid pace. I believe you are at that point. But how did you get pregnant in the first place?” I looked at him like he had lost his mind.

  “Duh, sex Cadas.” He looked exasperated.

  “I know that! I mean, how often do you have your fertile time?”

  “Once a month humans shed the lining of their uterus. We can get pregnant any other time. That last about seven moon cycles.”

  “What?” He yelled this time. Then lowered his voice. “You are fertile most any time?”

  “Yes. Can you tell if my baby is Ok?” I asked.

  “Baby?”

  “Young.” When talking about pregnancy, it was like a whole new language.

  “Yes, he is very heathy.” He smiled as tears came to my eyes.

  “Cadas, I have to ask you something. Please don’t tell Zahin, let me do it.” He didn’
t look happy about it but agreed.

  “You have until the next moon cycle Eliana. That’s it. He needs to know.” He looked at me sternly.

  “Ok, thank you Cadas.”

  Chapter 24

  What could be wrong with Eliana? Cadas was in there with her and she had asked me to step out. Why? I was pacing back and forth. Dar and Tolan was watching me, but I didn’t care. Everything was such a mess. Granted, I had made most of it, but there was no reason for my parents to act that way.

  “Are you going down to last meal brother?” Tolan asked him.

  “No.” I didn’t even stop pacing. Tolan looked at Dar, but Dar didn’t look as concerned as he felt.

  “What shall I tell mother?”

  “Tell Queen Saia that we did not want to attend.” I said as I kept pacing. Tolan nodded as he left to attend the feast my mother had prepared.

  Cadas finally came. He looked Ok, almost excited.

  “She is fine Zahin. She requested that I let her fill you in on everything, so go talk with her.” He turned and left and I went to see Eliana. She looked so pale lying on the bed.

  “What is wrong love?” I asked.

  “I need to ask you a couple of questions first Zahin. Ok?” I nodded. “Who is Raaka, and why did she think she was to be your Ardhangini?” I closed my eyes for I knew she would ask at some point.

  “Raaka was a lover, and my sister Mishra’s best friend.” I smiled at her. “I didn’t have any feelings for her, but my family liked her. She is like Tula, she only cared about what my status could bring her.” Elian paled even more when she thought of her being like Tula. “Not like take. Raaka is not dangerous. Tolan explained that while I was gone that Raaka and Mishra told everyone that I had promised to make her my intended, which I did not. My mother started making plans based on their lies.” I took her chin in my hand so she would look at me. “You are the only one I have made promises to Eliana. You are my family and I love you.” She had tears in her eyes again.
