watched as the male landed not far off to the side of her craft, and she took the opportunity to quietly move from the cockpit to the back of her ship. She was hoping to make it to one of the large storage compartments and hide in it until the threat was over, but she didn’t make it. She didn’t even hear the male land on top of the glass cockpit. The next thing she knew, the canopy was slid back, and a large hand reached into the ship and grabbed hold of the back of her T-shirt. She tried to shrug out of the T-shirt so she could get away from the big man, but he reached in with his other arm, wrapped it around her waist, and hauled her up and out through the canopy hole. She screamed as she tried to fight him off, but it was like fighting a brick wall. He wrapped his other arm around her shoulders, effectively trapping her arms to her sides. She kicked back, trying to hurt her assailant any way and anywhere she could, but she just wasn’t strong or big enough. He had her up in the air before she could blink.
The sound of large wings flapping with enormous strength echoed around her as she wriggled, still trying to get free.
“I’d stop that if you don’t want me to drop you,” the male stated with a fierce growl.
Sandi froze as she felt his hold on her loosen in warning. She clung to his forearms, praying he wouldn’t drop her.
“Who the hell are you? What do you want?”
“I am Retep Dnop, leader of the Redloh Clan, and you are now my woman.”
“Like fucking hell. I’m mated with Dreab and Erup Reyrd. You can’t take someone who is already mated.”
“It seems I can and I have. There’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t be mated to the Reap Clan. They would never let their woman out of their sight.”
“Well, they didn’t exactly. I snuck away,” Sandi replied, regretting her spontaneity.
She realized she should have listened to her new mates. She had let her stubbornness get her into this mess. Even though knew she loved her two new mates, she knew she had to do this for the people back on Earth. She had signed up to keep them and the planet safe. She intended to do just that and, in her determination, had gotten herself into trouble.
“Their loss is my gain. You are mine now.”
“I don’t care what you say or think. I’ll never fucking be yours,” Sandi replied through clenched teeth. She saw Retep move his free arm up to hold her across the chest, and she took the opportunity staring her in the face. She opened her mouth, bent her head, and bit down on his arm with everything she had.
Retep yelled in pain and released her. She was suddenly plummeting back down to the ground. She was looking death in the face. She didn’t scream. She was too scared to. She was frozen with fear and closed her eyes, waiting for the pain she knew would come, before she died.
Sandi screamed as she smacked into a hard, muscular chest. Tears were coursing down her face, and her breath slammed out of her lungs. She opened her mouth, trying to get air, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get a breath. She opened her eyes and stared into the crazy leader’s face as he watched her struggle. Her eyelids closed again as black spots began to dance before her vision, and she became dizzy and disorientated. The last thing she heard before she passed out was the crazy Redloh Clan leader’s laughter.

Dreab entered their home with Erup on his heels. He knew as he entered, Sandi was no longer there. He turned to Erup and saw the worry evident on his brother’s face.
“She’s not here. Where the hell would she go?”
“Um, there’s only one place I can think of,” Erup replied.
“No. She wouldn’t, would she? Not after the warning we gave her, surely?” The sinking feeling in Dreab’s gut told him Sandi was stubborn enough and probably didn’t care what they told her about the dangers. She had been so focused on wanting to assess her ship’s damage. She had wanted to see
