I could have been mated years ago, but there had never been a female that had captivated my interest the way this one did. My whole body vibrated with tension and feelings I couldn’t yet name. All thoughts of intergalactic protocols for greetingnew species or helping survivors melted away.
She would be mine. But I had to capture her first.

I could hear him pounding the sand behind me, catching up to me easily with his longer limbs. He tackled me from behind, and I screamed. I fought and shouted for him to let me go, but the bastard was at least a foot taller than my 5’8” and probably outweighed me by 100 pounds. Not to mention he had four arms. It was never going to be a fair fight.
He pushed me face-first onto the ground. The purple and green grass was prickly on the skin of my face. I tore my nails as I scrambled to find purchase and tried to get away, but he held me down easily. Tears of anger and frustration leaked from my eyes as he pulled my jumpsuit off. I couldn’t think about what was about to happen. I just knew I had to get away. I threw my elbow back, tried to kick him, or headbutt him, but my head thumped against his chest with zero effect. I screamed as he held me down with two arms and parted my thighs with two others. I tried to deny what was happening as I felt something thick and long nudge my entrance. “Get off me! Let me go!” I screamed at him, to no avail. I sobbed as I felt him push his way into me.

She fought well for such a tiny thing. Not with any real training, I could tell, but she was fierce and determined to make me prove my strength to her. I approved of her testing me so well. It was true, what they said about Lumanelas. There was magic in her voice. She screamed shrilly, and I was paralyzed, completely unable to move for a few preciousseconds. She tried to use that time to scramble away from me, but I recovered and caught her again. Clever little mate.
I breathed her scent in deeply, already enchanted with her. This first time, I knew I would not last. She was too enticing and I felt that I was seconds away from spending myself.
Once I had her firmly in grasp, I took a moment to center myself. I would not embarrass myself with my mate during our first joining. Trembling in excitement, I pushed slowly inside her channel and nearly exploded as a wave of pleasure rolled through my body. Nothing I had ever experienced felt as good as being inside my mate. I gave her a few seconds to adjust and for my mating shaft to produce more lubricant to ease my passage and then, with a groan of pleasure, I began to thrust in earnest. It was bliss.

It was torture. He was too big, and every thrust of his monster cock felt like he was splitting me in half. I could feel my delicate tissue burn and tear, and it hurt so much. I hated it. I hated him. I hated this planet and everything that had happened to me. I tried to hold on to that anger as he pumped behind me, but soon my anger gave way to frustration and a soul-crushing despair.
He kept me immobile as he drove into me over and over. I was full-on sobbing, begging for him to stop, unable to get away. I just wished for it to end. He ignored my pleas, taking his pleasure while I spilled my tears into the unfeeling dirt below.
I cried, not just for what was happening to me, but for the girl I had been before all this. The girl who, just a few days ago, was singing show tunes and dancing through my charmed,beautiful life. I would never be that girl again. I knew I would never feel safe again, not after this violation of my body and soul.Gods above, please just let it end, I thought.Please let me die.
Then I felt a white-hot pain streak across my back and knew no more.

I was close, I could feel it. She was making noises I didn’t understand, but I hoped she was enjoying this as much as I was. I extended my claws to deliver the mating mark on her back, the symbol that would tell all other males that she was mine. The venom in my claws would bind her to me and prevent her from accepting any other male. I would remember this moment for all my days, and would devote myself to making my mate happy.
I admired the smooth expanse of her back that would soon bear my mark. I ran a hand over the delicate skin that would be forever changed. “You are mine, mate,” I declared as I sliced through her skin from shoulder to waist and felt her relax. Her full and final submission to me made my hearts sing.
I bent over her and covered her fully, my chest to her back, as my hips pistoned, and I thrust into her like a wild animal. Her submission goaded me, spurred me, and I felt a tingle signaling my coming release. With a roar, I emptied my seed into my mate, ropes of my cum painting her inner walls. She was so tight, choking my cock, and I kept coming - harder than I ever had. I was almost disappointed not to see how much semen I pushed into her, but chuckled in satisfaction knowing it was inside my mate. I wanted to spread more onher beautiful skin so she smelled like me always. I withdrew and nuzzled her warm, golden mane affectionately.
I crawled down, pointing my face between her thighs at her entrance so I could see my seed drip from her. I inhaled our scents mingled together and felt my cock stirring again. Would she let me have her once more? Perhaps I should let her rest first. With two digits, I pushed my seed back into her channel and smeared some onto her plump hindquarters.
As I let my gaze drift up, I spotted red liquid on her back. The mating mark was leaking lifeblood! I looked down and saw it spread across my chest from where I had covered her. This was unexpected. The mating mark was meant to leave a visible scratch on the hide, but it rarely drew blood. But as I gently touched her shoulder, I realized her soft, smooth skin must not be as thick as the hide of one of my people. My claws had sliced through and damaged my mate! My eyes widened as I witnessed dark pink spots blooming across her tender skin.
“Are you well, my love? I’m so sorry if I hurt you,” I said to my new mate, but she did not answer. I gently rolled her over and found her completely unresponsive. I felt a moment of terror so stark I saw white spots behind my eyes. Had I killed her? I shook her, but she made no sound or movement. I studied her and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her chest slowly rise and fall. She made no other sound or movement as I tried to wake her. Something was clearly wrong.
As much as my instincts screamed for me to seclude her away at my estate, I knew my father’s medics had more experience with alien life forms than my own. I would take her to my father’s estate and demand they attend her. From this day forward, she was mine to care for and protect.
I carried her to my vehicle and placed her as gently as I could inside and drove at lighting speed to my father’s estate. Guards hailed me as I rushed past them to the medwing with my ailing mate in my arms. By the time I reached the medwing, my clothes were drenched in her lifeblood, and her once-smooth skin was completely covered by the red spots.
Lanicar, my father’s chief medic, visibly startled when he saw my mate. “What species is it?” he asked as he ushered me into one of the medical bays.
“I do not know,” I replied. “She is my mate, but she is leaking lifeblood from the mating mark, and her skin has erupted in these spots. She did not have those before.”
“Your mate?!” he responded. “Never mind,” he said, shaking off the news as he prioritized the emergency before him. “Let us hook her up to the medscan to see if it recognizes her species and her ailment.”
I placed her on the cold medical table while he and an assistant busied themselves with various equipment, attaching machines to my mate while I nervously paced the room. I wanted to hold her hand, but I knew I would be in the way.
The doctor stayed glued to the screen of the medscanner while his assistant cleaned my mate’s mating mark and sprayed it with a sealant. “She looks like one of theLumanelafrom the stories,” said the assistant. “They say their voices contain magic.”
“Well, the medscan says she is a hyooman,” said Lanicar. “They are very rare, from a planet that does not even have interstellar travel, so I do not know how she ended up here. According to the data entry, they are vulnerable to traffickers because they are prized for their, um, highly sexual nature.” He looked away and coughed.
I refused to be embarrassed or shamed for coupling with my mate. “What is wrong with her?” I demanded.
