The Price of a Covenant-Chapter 1

*LGBT romance. Contains scenes of explicit sex and violence.

I was born heir to one of the most important towers on my planet. Édrin. And of course, I had powers like all those who were descended from the oldest lineages of our people.

None of this made a difference when Édrin was attacked. Our quadrant in space watched helplessly as the army of terrible creatures spread, destroying everything in front of them. I was little more than a teenager by the standards that humans classified.

Overnight, my world fell. The castle was just a heap of ruins. It was probably the end of the civilization we knew. An heir to the throne captured and reduced to slavery in the domains of N'Tirlay.

This was really hell. The leader of the invaders was feared and relentless in the quest for the survival of his own species. I can still remember the discussions of the rulers of the Tower of Seven. The disbelief that the threat would be real to us because of our advanced technology was the government's downfall on our planet.

I practically grew up within the neutral market. The Citadel would be the terror of any creature in our Universe and the Confederation was unable to impose the Federation's guidelines there. Everything here could be bought or traded.

At that time, I remember that the only thing that kept me lucid and alive was hate. That was the feeling that fed my strength to give up fighting and wait for a rescue that never came. And it was all her fault. Our world had been destroyed because of a child who had been spared the sacrifice required by ancient laws.

She was not an Edrian. It was never going to be. I saw the city ships welcoming the survivors of my people, while organic handcuffs of energy were placed on my wrists. At that moment my life became a nightmare.

K'Aldriants were feared and there were good reasons. Symbiosis. They were creatures that needed hosts to feed and maintain the existence of a species destined to be forgotten because of involution. And it was all that girl's fault.

Even today I can remember nights when insomnia overwhelms my spirit. I could have let her die there. Nobody would know. It was something stronger. At the time, I still didn't know the hatred that would keep me alive.and lost in a world forgotten by everyone.

Why did I save that annoying and hateful creature? It was just a child. I had already witnessed the death of almost everyone I loved and knew.

Those thoughts did not ease my bad mood when advancing on the bridge of my ship.

Spartackus meant for me a fresh start after years of slavery. I tried not to look at the fang marks I still had on my wrists that would remain there for my entire life. I was a survivor. I had survived hell and escaped.

But at what price?

The ship was ready to depart as soon as the rest of the crew arrived. And it was an unauthorized departure by the leaders of the Confederation. Not because they refused to rescue a hybrid creature that could bring an end to us. But because of me. Some questioned the extent to which years in captivity could influence my performance on the mission.

It was a curse. It had to be me. It was almost a matter of honor and I didn't even want to discuss it. That rescue personally interested me.

"We haven't even left yet and you can't leave the bridge, Captain?" A female voice woke my dark reflections.

I looked up with little interest. Scarlet. I shook my head, controlling my emotions, knowing that my partner would not let me rest, noting with some disgust the clothes she was wearing.

It was too late. And the ship was lonely and deserted. If she intended to disturb my rest, it should at least be pleasant.

-Checked the last repairs in the black matter melting core. - I explained, shrugging. - Time travel always requires too much of a ship. If anything is not right ...

Scarlet smiled. She was what I could consider a beautiful and smart woman. She knew how to satisfy my desires and, was also the technology officer for Spartackus' computers. Better than anyone, she knew that if something went wrong, we would never go back to our time.

-I think I did my job well. - She guaranteed, sitting in front of me on the ship's navigator control panel. - And that's not what worries you. What do you really want to do when you find what you're looking for, Zorack?

I looked at her bored. He knew very well what had to be done. I knew my orders better than anyone and what would happen if I failed. Except that nobody there really knew my real orders. Everything had a price in life. I went back to looking at the images on the computer screen, forcing absolute indifference when reading the records in the memory data.

A human. Just a human on a planet still little evolved. I didn't deserve that. I forced myself to remember who she was under the delicate and fragile appearance. That creature was so much more than that. If the full age of maturity came, Ravenack would never give up on having her by his side.

The eyes were still the same. Incredibly green. And the loose, long hair gleamed golden like the color of my skin. It was reasonably beautiful. It's just that!

I got up in dismay and fixed my eyes on Scarlet, making it clear to her how I intended to occupy the rest of my time until the crew arrived. At least she didn't wear the uniform. A dress was always more practical.

-Zorack! - She protested as she always did. - It's wrong. Know this. You know our laws. Physical contacts were banned after city ships managed to stop the virus from spreading. Scientific studies prove that the brain waves emitted by the projector ...

The words came in quick explanations. I was definitely not like them. The years in captivity near the K 'Aldriant genetic engineering laboratories had guaranteed an excellent practical education. I was obliged to participate in the hybridization program experiments. To hell the holograms of sex. I think I had assimilated more of the Terran culture than I would have liked. Scientists always preferred humans to be abducted for those experiments. I definitely wanted more.

-Zorack!

-To hell the damn virtual hologram. I muttered and my hands grabbed Scarlet's hips, pulling her towards me in a very inviting position.

It was an irritation that moved my instincts there. I knew exactly why that child had not been sacrificed by our people and what it should mean to me as heir to a fallen monarchy. It was my shame. A chosen one who had been placed in the care of strangers and grown-up away from all our traditions and customs. It was another reason that made me hate her more.

My mouth came down wildly on hers without giving any chance for the protest on her part. And it was not a passionate or delicate caress. It was just possession. My body reacted furiously every time I looked at that creature, wondering if that girl so far knew who I was.

She doesn't even know who she is. Did you forget the memories that were altered? I thought to myself.

No, of course, she didn't know who was. And that just aroused more anger in me. That creature would have belonged to me in our world. I would have been my queen. And it was everything a dangerous and lethal creature with an army of destruction wanted.

Shit!

-Zorack, stop! If someone...

I laughed with the little case as I always did when ordered. So what? Any creature could indulge in primitive mating acts. I pulled away just enough to look at Scarlet and slowly started to remove the clothes that covered my body.

Thinking about her always made me furious and I have to admit excitedly. Of course, I would do my part in the Ravenack pact. I would deliver the girl into his clutches. She would be all of him once my wishes were satisfied. It was enough to seduce her. Earn your confidence and enjoy the pleasures that the provocative body offered. I think what bothered me most was knowing that she would never be mine. It poisoned me.

-I really think I am so careless with these absurd laws that they decided to create while I was in captivity? - I asked and without any shame showing my body before her gaze.

It was a false modesty. Scarlet might hate the thought that disobeyed the law, but she liked every second of what we did very much. My erection was huge when I came back to approach Scarlet and still holding her gaze my hands went to her knees together and pushed them away decidedly.

"Max has the safety codes for that ship!" Scarlet protested in horror. "If only we were in your quarters.

I did not care. They were demons that chased my soul and I just needed to forget! I ignored Scarlet's complaints. The fine fabric was not an obstacle for a long time when I impatiently tore her clothes and in the next instant, I closed my eyes, sliding inside Scarlet in just one lunge, full of pressure and deep.

Some part of me knew that she was on the edge of pleasure and pain, but a furious and wild animal was awakening inside me. The initial contraction that I felt soon relaxed and was the invitation that I expected. It didn't take long and I could hear her moans as I penetrated her harshly by pressing her against the wall in my arms, holding her hips.

Angel.

That hellish creature was an angel spreading destruction. Naturally, my male instincts claimed what belonged to me. I hated to admit that knowing that she would never be mine aroused a possessive obsession in my consciousness. It was just a need for possession. Just it. She belonged to Ravenack.

Only while my advances were renewed with the renewed breath, it was not Scarlet I saw. There were those magnificent, clear green eyes. The light, delicate skin that would contrast with my tanned color by the two suns in the Ziron quadrant.

-Like this. Zorack! Quickly ... - I heard Scarlet moan excitedly and hold my face looking for answers that I refused to answer. - Creature, what's up with you? What happened?

All. Nothing.

-I ... My beautiful ... We are not done yet.- I gasped, holding back the eminence of orgasm as lifted Scarlet and pressed her back to me. My hands pressed to her buttocks with even more excitement. Thinking about that girl always got my blood heated.

-Zorack! Not like that...

-Yes, my dear. - I smiled and my fingers started to tease her in her pleasure center with more rhythm. My other hand guided my still hard penis while excitedly rubbed it right there.

I felt Scarlet's muscles tighten. My cock slid down her ass, forcing it slowly, waving pleasures.

-Zorack!

-You wanted a night of sex when you came looking for me. And you will, sweetie. I will eat you. That uplifting and tasty ass ...

I didn't finish, gritting my teeth to contain lust. The head of my cock slid into that tight ass and I started to breathe deeper.

- Oh ... I will ...

I knew from the tremors that Scarlet was close to giving in to orgasm. I drove deep inside her, delighting me in her tight ass, and went out to stock her wet pussy again.

-Let's do it differently, honey. I will give you pleasure and hear you moaning my name.

It was a promise from me. I was going to vent the damn lust that unfortunately lost creature was bringing me. I started the thrusts with renewed vigor, alternating the penetration in both places.

My hard, swollen cock slid into that crack and then plunged into her ass, delighting me to start hearing Scarlet's loudest moans.

-None of that, you will not come yet, my beautiful. We will stop if you come now ...

-Zorack, I need ...- Her voice came in a gasp.

My hands held her hair loose and I let my demons dominate me by possessing her. Each new lunge ...

My hips hit her bottom as I buried myself in inch by centimeter and then penetrated her deeper ... harder ... with more pressure over and over again.

One

Two

Three.

-That's it, Zorack. Most dear ...

Four.

Five

Six.

Her breathing was fast as I nibbled on her ear, giving more thrusts. Scarlet wiggled on my dick.

-You like to feel my cock eating you, woman. Do you feel my dick fucking you like this?

Nov.

Ten.

I heard Scarlet scream my name as I came with relief in her tight channel, leaving my cum inside her.

-Are you okay?- she answers me.

I did not respond. As always. I set my demons free by investing deeply until the unsatisfying enjoyment exhausted me. Taking a deep breath, I closed my mouth hard, avoiding the kiss Scarlet asked for, and let it slide on the floor, barely supporting the weight of her body on wobbly legs.

-It's her, isn't it? - Scarlet shook with revolt, her faces still flushed with sex. - You really don't feel anything for this girl? It looks more like an old, grumpy, and furious beast.

Absurd! What else could I feel for her? It's all her fault! Damn Angel!

-What do you think I would feel for such a despicable creature? - I replied to the possessed provocation. - That freak brings their genetic material into their DNA.

Scarlet's eyes widened in disbelief.

- It wasn't her, Zorack! - Scarlet exploded hurt and without hiding it. - It was never her fault. If you are looking for someone to blame, look for those responsible! Our rulers agreed to negotiate the genome of our people for those creatures hoping for more power and technology. Your father...

I raised my hand in the air, seeing everything red. My father had been a wise conductor on our planet and was dead. He had been killed before my eyes. My brother was a living shadow of what he should be after he got the damn virus. How dare she?

"Come on!" Scarlet shouted, possessed. She always knew how to poke the sleeping beast in me. And it was hell. - Hit! I think hitting me will change the fact that you refuse to admit it? You may hate yourself, but you want that creature.

-A freak? - I was puzzled. - She is not even a female like the others.

Liar!

- Is that what you think to continue to deceive yourself? Is it Eloas? Are you going to deny to me that you didn't save her life by hiding it in your breathing ducts? Lying that you didn't end up as a slave because you refused to hand the girl over to Ravenack before?

I stopped in astonishment. I hadn't done any of that. That was not me. No longer. All my innocence had been consumed at N'Tirlay. Ravenack had personally taken care of destroying all my dreams. A strong and unwavering breastplate protected me from me. Life was hard. Only the strong survived.

-My only mission here is to rescue this creature and ensure that the course of history is not changed. You know as well as I do that the humanity of the Blue Planet must not perish. There were few survivors, but there were survivors who were rescued by the Essassani ship.

Scarlet looked at me without hiding the horror. She saw my true nature there: cruel, cold, and calculating.

-You are not like that! - She guaranteed to start to cry. - Never was. If you want that creature so much, you should focus all that anger on something better. Ravenack can be faced. Fight! Prove to yourself that you can feel anything but anger!

Face Ravenack? I laughed, lowering my hand and lightly touching the scars on my wrist. Fang marks. That hateful animal fed on blood and fluids. Had I really been a slave? It had been an inexhaustible source of blood to appease the hunger of that monstrous animal. It had taken years for my freedom to be successfully negotiated and my rescue guaranteed by the Confederation.

-I don't need to prove anything! - I shouted in a low voice. - Nothing! And that conversation is ended here. Just rescue the damn freak and bring it to Federation security.

Scarlet shook her head showing pity for me.

- You really don't have the courage to admit it, do you? - the question came in a whisper. - You would never have given the child to them to guarantee their freedom. You liked her. Always liked ...

I swallowed hard with my insides turning.

Never! Never! It was just hated. I could even wish to enjoy the pleasures of a young, healthy body and nothing more. As soon as I appeased my desires, the curse that that creature seemed to exert on me would be forgotten.

It was all about possession.

And I couldn't be more wrong ...

And I couldn't be more wrong

Or not?
