pair-mating was a necessary survival tactic forced on the males of his world to compensate for the lack of females in their society, a lack cruelly caused by a deadly virus that had decimated the female ranks many moon cycles ago.
Now, only the worthiest were chosen to help repopulate Xaanda, and Lex had acquitted himself well in battle for that honor. A decorated warrior, he’d finally achieved the reward for all his hard work and looked forward to the new life he would undertake with his biddable, if alien, wife.
“We’re almost there,” said the Alpha 350, interrupting his thoughts.
Lex strode down the corridors of the spacecraft to the exit hatch, the AI’s voice giving him last-minute instructions that he only partially listened to.
“Remember to stay out of sight. The humans here are known to capture and medically experiment on unknown species.” Lex would like to see them try.

“Try and move about at night, where your skin coloring is less likely to be noticed.”
“I don’t intend to be here that long,” Lex muttered. His plan was to find his mate quickly and rendezvous with his ship for a prompt departure to his home world.
“If, by some chance, your communicator malfunctions, I’ll meet you at the gypsum crystal fields on this planet’s full moon a few days from now.” That warning caught his attention. “Why would the communicator malfunction?” asked Lex.
“Just humor me,” said the AI. “The teleporter shouldn’t have malfunctioned either, yet it did. So remember, on the full moon, meet me at the gypsum fields. Now, your mate can be found at 351 El Paso Drive.
Remember to stay out of sight. This location is very close to an Earth military establishment, and while I’ve fooled their radars, I can’t blind their eyes, so be discreet.”
Lex absently nodded, anticipation roaring through him. In and out. His superior warrior training would outclass these humans who were barely more civilized than barbarians.
With a soft thud, the craft landed and the hatch hissed open. Lex descended the ramp and stood on the alien soil, breathing deep. The air, so like that of his own world, smelled of dirt and plant life. Their similar atmospheres made the deportation of the female earthlings viable, that and the fact they were descended from the same group of space-farers who had seeded life throughout the galaxy.
“Where to?” he asked aloud, glad he’d taken on this mission the advanced earpiece communicator that allowed the AI unit to reply back, unlike some other models used on not-as-technologically-advanced planets.
The computer’s tinny voice spoke in his ear. “You need to hike a few miles due west. I couldn’t land any closer without being seen.” Lex jogged off in the direction of his intended, his groin tightening in anticipation. Soon, he’d be among the ranks of the mated and indulging in his lusts whenever he wanted. No more galactic brothels for him. He—and his libido—couldn’t wait.
A few hours later, his breathing ragged, his clothing torn, the baying sound of the animals with vicious teeth still echoing in the darkness behind him, he soundly cursed this planet and the savages who inhabited it.
A fence appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the lightening gloom that signaled the sun’s rising. He nimbly climbed the barrier and dropped to the other side. He quickly scanned the darkness, looking for threats. All clear. He 3

loped off towards the shadows of the building he could barely perceive. He planned to hide amid the humans in an unused location, perhaps steal some of their clothing, and mask his scent. Well, that was the plan ’til his foot didn’t hit the hard ground, but open space, and he plummeted into an invisible pit of liquid that sucked him down.
His last thought before losing consciousness was he should have listened to the stupid computer who’d recommended they abort when the chase first
