Ransom

A Dark Alien Romance

I am Blackmane, feared warlord of the Pleiades.
I have captured a human princess.
Pretty. Sweet. Innocent.
Ripe for the plucking.
I will have my way with her, and her father will pay handsomely for her return.

Won’t he?

As the days go by and my ransom demands go unmet,
As my guards go missing and are found in pieces,
As my spacefaring stronghold falls into terror and chaos, I realize I have made a huge mistake.

This sweet royal angel is an absolute monster.
There’s only one thing to be done with little monsters.
They need to be broken. They need to be tamed.
And they need to be claimed. Forever.
