    About this ebook

    Villi grew up knowing that his people, the Ligaru, were feared by the Norlanians on the other side of the Issizlik Mountains. He wouldn’t care about that, except that his people have few females of their own. Unlike their Norlanian counterparts, the Ligaru don’t care about the females’ inability to breed. They only care that every female is with her soul mate.

    During a mission to Kyvern City to destroy the soul-walk machine, Villi finds himself entranced with a scent in the building, recognizing it as the scent of his own soul mate. After his job is done, he leaves his people and locates the female, planning to prove to her that he’s no monster under the bed, but rather a male worthy of being her soul mate and loving her for the rest of his life.

    Pilar Rotahn is a no-nonsense female who takes great pride in her catering business and teaching job at the culinary academy in Kyvern City. Although she would never admit it out loud, she doesn’t like coming home to an empty house each night or waking up alone. But as a sterile Norlanian female, she knows that no male will ever go on the soul-walk and dream about her.

    One night, she’s woken by a strange male in her bedroom. He’s the sexiest male she’s ever seen, even with his fangs, and when he offers to take her to his home on the other side of the forbidden mountain, she throws caution to the wind and goes with him. Is the life that Villi offers too good to be true, or will Pilar find everything she ever dreamed of on the other side of the mountain?

      Chapter 1

      Villi studied the map as the two leaders of their group discussed the plans for the raid a final time. He’d always been a good hunter – his father had trained him from the time he was a child to move stealthily – but for the first time in his life, he wasn’t hunting animals; he was going to be using all his skills to destroy machines and medications.

      His home planet, Norlan, was split into two main parts, separated by an enormous mountain range known as the Issizlik Mountains. On one side was the capital, Kyvern City, as well as other small cities, and on the other was a dense wilderness that included the hidden city of Villi’s birth. His people were known as the Ligaru. They were Norlanians, but they had long ago left civilization and started a new colony on the forbidden side of the mountains. His forefathers, males who hadn’t agreed with the soul-walk machines that chose mated pairs, had joined together and opted to choose their own soul mates, based on mutual attraction and affection. Over the generations, the Ligaru had changed physically to look different from their Norlanian counterparts – they had darker skin, sharp teeth, and brown hair from birth. Norlanian males were born with blue hair, which turned brown when they were given a vaccination from the organizers of the soul-walk, who used the soul-walk machine to match up males and females.

      Sloan said that the vaccinations are kept in the refrigeration room, Warrick, Sloan’s soul mate and the leader of the Ligaru military, said. Dex will disable the alarm system first so you can destroy the drugs and upload the virus to the computer system.

      Villi nodded. And then he’ll be planting bombs at the soul-walk company.

      Dero, one of Villi’s brothers, nodded. The bomb remotes are ready. They’ll go off as soon as we clear the city.

      That will give us plenty of time to get back through the tunnel, Dex said.

      What do you suppose the government will do when they realize that the soul-walk machines, the soul-walk drugs, and the prenatal vaccinations are destroyed? Villi asked.

      Sloan believes that they’ll work feverishly to recreate the prenatal vaccinations first, but the soul-walk drugs and machines will take a long time to recreate, Warrick said.

      Sloan, a medical doctor and Norlanian female, had made the discovery that the prenatal vaccinations caused the sterility in their planet’s females. Once it was discovered that the Norlanian females were sterile, the government had stopped using the soul-walk machine to match Norlanian males and females and instead began searching other planets for breeding-compatible females. Sloan herself was sterile and had thought she would be unmated her entire life, but Warrick, who had been a captain in the Norlanian military, had chosen to mate with her regardless of her inability to bear young. They’d come to the forbidden side of the mountains because Villi and his people had thought Sloan was being held against her will by Warrick.

      Villi’s father, Nelari, had invited Warrick and Sloan to live in their city. Their females, although few, were not infertile, which was what had led Sloan to discover that the government had been poisoning their females through the use of prenatal vaccinations and causing their sterility.

      Villi looked through the trees that covered their hidden city and saw the sky beginning to darken as the sun set.

      It’s time, Dex said, standing and shaking Warrick’s hand.

      Be safe, Warrick said.

      Villi, his brothers Dero and Carus, and two other males, shouldered their packs, checked their weapons, and headed for the bottom of the mountains, where they would use a magically protected tunnel to pass through to the other side. Beyond that was a forest that bordered the capital of Norlan. And there, in the depths of the city, were machines that matched males with compatible females from other planets. By dawn, the city would find itself without a way to match soul
