Download or read book Stars Fated A Forbidden Alien Love Story written by Ava Marten and published by Stellar Kitten Publishing AS. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our love was forbidden, but nothing could stop me from making her mine. In a solar system torn by war, my assignment was simple: Escort Princess Súomi from the enigmatic N’Kala Temple to the royal palace in Embu City. I’m Commander Akkar, a Boma warrior of the highest regard, and refusing the mission wasn’t an option — not when my men’s survival hinged on the resources it promised. Ukumas and Bomas sharing more than a battlefield? Unheard of, punishable by death. But fate had other plans. One look into her eyes, and I knew—our souls were entangled, bound by the Goddess herself. Defying the laws of our people, defying the King — her own father — became a price I was willing to pay. Our path was a battlefield of its own, rife with danger, betrayal, and pain. Yet the invisible thread connecting us pulsed stronger with each challenge, fanning the embers of a forbidden passion. But just as our connection intensified, so did the lethal threats from those hell-bent on pulling us apart. Could our love stand firm against the crushing weight of tradition and betrayal? Get ready to sizzle — Akkar doesn’t just command — he dictates with growls and snarls, silencing all opposition. This is no mere reading experience — If you’re caught in Akkar’s inescapable orbit. Give in. Fighting it is just pointless.
