I squirmed when I felt the baby latch, and a sudden rush of relief flooded throughout my body. “Excuse me? An omega?”
“Mia.” He swallowed and smiled, eyes watering. “I can’t explain what you are, but you are special.”
“I wish that was the case, but—” .
“You were able to take my knot. I expected more trouble during the birthing process, but you survived,” he said.
“By sheer luck.”
“This is not up for discussion. I gave you my blood. Your body did not reject it,” he stated firmly. “You are the next stage of humanity. The gods be praised.”
“No. She is,” I said.
I closed my eyes, felt the outside space disappear. The hellfire, the bloodlust and devastation of my crew. My best friend, Juliana. I couldn’t believe it was finally over.
“I’m yours, Talis. I pledge myself to you, alpha.”
He kissed me, and I fell asleep once more. We sat as a family, heading away from the bright supernova. As I clung to the verge of sleep, it hit me.
We were looking at the debris of his old home planet.
“I need to talk to you about something. It is important.”
My eyes opened. Talis was standing at the console, facing away from me. His arms were spread on the dashboard, and he exhaled heavily. “Did you hear me?” he asked. “There’s something I need to tell you.”
The roof of my mouth smacked against my tongue. “I’m just waking. What is it, alpha?”
He turned and stood with that supernova glow, looking like a halo had graced around his head. “This place I brought you to is more brilliant than it looks.”
“It is your home planet,” I said.
Talis snapped back. “It is a graveyard, but…”
“But what?”
He looked up into the heavens.
“But I have been keeping something from you,” he said.
My heart didn’t stop, but I sure felt it skip a beat, and it became hard to breathe. After the shock subsided, I looked at him to make sure he was about to tell me the whole truth about whatever was going on.
“What?” It was more of a demand than a question.
Talis’ face had never looked so honest before. “The only way to keep your people alive is to create a wormhole stable enough to take you back into the past, back to before it all happened,” he said.
Wormholes… My people… Alive? “Talis what are you talking about?” I asked.
“There was an unforeseen accident. A tear in the universe. It must have happened when our sun exploded.”
“You’re not making any sense,” I said.
“I don’t have to make sense. My systems are showing an irregularity in time. There is a force coming from that tear, Mia. I’m using it in combination with the ship’s fuel cells, and getting us the hell out of here,” he said.
Excitement jittered my stomach. Earth, the final frontier?
It took me a second to agree, but once I realized what it meant, I took his face into my hands and kissed him so sensuously that I felt his cock grow against my upper thigh. If I didn’t have to heal, I’d be begging him to fuck my brains out. “You’re incredible,” I said.
“It won’t be all fun and games,” he said. “There will be a lot that we will have to fix on your planet.”
