Alien Tribute: A sci fi warrior romance (Tsenturion Masters Book 2) / Lee Savino, Golden Angel,

~Swipe right for abduction~

     Two minutes ago I was lying in my hospital bed, waiting to die of cancer, reading an awesome sci fi romance on a mysteriously delivered e-reader.

Now I'm in another galaxy, cancer free. The aliens abducted me because they want me to be a bride for one of their warriors. Weird. The whole thing sounds a lot like the story I was just reading...
 
Except the surly warrior who’s supposed to claim me doesn't want a mate.

“Okay,” I say. “So I’m a Tribute… so now what?”

Frllil is watching me with an air of anxious wariness, and I’m kind of getting used to his odd appearance, but it’s still creepy when he smiles widely. It’s so close to approximating a real, human smile, but the fact that it’s so close somehow make it more unsettling rather than less. It’s the Uncanny Valley effect, but knowing that doesn’t make it less strange.

“I must say, you’re taking this a lot better than the last Tribute,” he says, sounding very relieved.

“Is there any way to escape?” I ask, because it seems like he expects me to say something.

Frllil shakes his head. His expression doesn’t change - he isn’t sorry. If anything, he looks pleased. “There is no way for you to access the wormhole you came through, and a return trip would be inadvisable, even with the improvements I’ve made to your physical form.”

I shrug. “Then resistance is futile. So what comes next?”

“Now we begin your training.”
