She could hear Maximo barking out orders, and her anger rose. Hatred for this planet and everyone on it was a tidal wave of fire inside of her.
If it was the last thing she did, Luna would escape.
Chapter Four
ERAK
Erak stepped off of the space carrier, Genet and Raimi following closely behind. Kat’aki was not their final destination, but they did need to refuel and had been traveling for a week’s time now.
Solid ground, even if it was on this planet, was better than nothing.
“I’ll put the order in to have the craft refueled while we grab something to eat and a few supplies from the merchants.” Raimi stepped up beside Erak, who glanced around the barren, red planet and grimaced.
He did wish he could have stopped at another planet, but this had been the closest one, and priority overruled preference. Although the landing dock was situated in the desert, a thick line of half-dead shrubs was in front of them and towering mountains all around them.
The lights from the rundown town ahead shone dully.
The bright orange sun blazed in the sky, and sweat started to coat his skin. Covering his brow with his hand, Erak stared at the main city of Kat’aki, a playground for common scum, whores, and anyone who wanted a little illicit activity, and now, currently, the Asek brothers.
Back in the day, they had come here for a little fun, but that had been ages ago, when they were adolescent warriors. They hadn’t come back since, and he remembered why now. The stench of desperation and need hung thick in the air.
He didn’t doubt their arrival had caused a flurry of action because they most definitely thought royals would spend a hefty amount of currency.
“Let’s just get what we need and get out of here. I still don’t like this place.” His brothers murmured in agreement, which he thought somewhat surprising. They really were taking this “finding their mate” seriously.
It made him proud.
The landing dock was filled with spacecrafts. Beings from all over the galaxy docked their ships and made their way into the main city. Creatures from Atheta, Linnea, and even the primate-like giants of the Primativa planet all made their way toward the city.
Erak knew Kat’aki was known as one of the lowest and dirtiest planets in the Ban’tash galaxy, but it was also known as a party planet, a place where one could do what they wanted when they wanted.
Despite the appeal that knowledge held, the planet itself was a wasteland.
“I hope the city has improved from the last time we came here.” Erak stood back and watched Genet and Raimi step off the loading dock.
Various other beings milled around. Some cast menacing glances at him, stupid creatures that didn’t know the kind of warriors the Aktulla males were, while others kept their distance because they were smart enough to realize that Erak and his brothers could kill them with one, expert move.
Most of the creatures appeared human, but Erak knew better. While the Aktulla were similar in appearance to humans, they were anything but and a far superior species.
Erak grabbed his pack and followed his brothers, hoping this wasn’t going to be an experience he would regret but knowing that was probably a guarantee.
Chapter Five
LUNA
Luna stood in line as each employee was prepared for the night’s festivities. Although she wanted to deny what Maximo offered and escape what would surely happen tonight, she couldn’t pass up the bathing chamber, especially when she rarely got to take one.
Her bathing ritual, a whore’s bath in the sink, had her feeling unkempt and dirty on most days. Water was scarce on Kat’aki, and the very thought of washing away the red dust that covered her skin on a daily basis sounded heavenly.
Besides, she planned on leaving this very night and using the wealthiest of males to make that possible. Her virginity was such a prize possession, so she would be the one to barter with it, not Maximo.
Of course, all of this was just a plan, and everything would have to fall into place perfectly for it to work.
As each person stepped into the enclosed water module, Luna glanced at the recently cleaned staff. They ranged in shapes and sizes. Even Kelo beasts with their thick limbs and glowing white eyes were amongst them.
Once cleaned, each one of Maximo’s employees wore an outfit that was meant to tantalize and entice the prospective buyers. The material they wore showcased the females’ breasts and between her thighs while the males’ genitals were on display.
It didn’t matter what a creature looked like on Kat’aki. If they had a pussy or dick, then they were fair game.
When her turn was next to bathe, Luna didn’t miss how Maximo’s eyes skimmed along her body. Forcing herself to contain the shudder of disgust that bombarded her, she stepped into the enclosed cubical.
