“I’m not about to make it that easy for you,” he said, before he opened Credo’s door. “You’re a smart man. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”
“This is Credo Bateen’s bedroom,” I said, not liking the detour he’d taken. “What are you doing?”
He flashed me a devilish grin. “One more thing before we can leave.”
He walked in, so I followed him, tension knotting tight in my gut. He stood at Credo’s bedside, studying the elder man’s still form.
“What are you doing in here?” I demanded.
He glanced back at me with mock offense. “You seriously don’t remember the first man you ever loved?”
Before I could process what he’d said, he pulled out his thigh daggers, flipped them in his hands, stabbed one into Credo’s chest and threw the other at something near the window. I couldn’t see what it hit, but the bone dagger stopped in the middle of the air, before it fell to the floor with a clatter.
Oh, fuck.There was only one man I knew who could strike with such cold precision. One whose violence looked like choreography and whose cruelty came wrapped in charm.
But he was dead. Jenny’s sister Sarah—no, Ode—had killed him.
And yet…
I whispered the impossible. “Rex Terian…is that you?”
He turned fully to face me, the dagger still buried in Credo’s chest, his violet eyes alive with a bloodlust gleam. The smile that curved his mouth wasn’t just smug.
It was resurrection.
“Miss me?” he asked, and winked at me.

Find out what happens between Jenny, Tiger, and Mal in CHOOSING JENNY, the final conclusion in Jenny’s Planet Orhon alien trilogy.
They say love doesn’t survive war. But ours was forged in it.
I came to this alien world chasing my sister. I didn’t expect to fall in love with two powerful, complicated men. Malice, the haunted executioner who once fearedlove more than death, but chose me anyway. Tiger, the fierce protector who always sees the truth in me.
Together, we’ve survived palace games, possession, betrayal, and near death. But now…everything is unraveling.
Our enemies are resurrecting the dead. Our allies are being blackmailed, hunted, or held hostage. And when Mal is ordered to betray us—or die—we realize the true war isn’t just for power. It’s for the soul of this alien planet.
To protect the people we love, we’ll have to infiltrate enemy strongholds, steal sacred artifacts, and unearth terrifying secrets, including one that could destroy our bond from within.
But I didn’t come this far to break now.
In a world built on vengeance, betrayal, and deceit, we’ve become more than lovers. We’re a triad of fury and devotion. And together, we’re about to change the fate of an empire.
No matter the cost.
