Page 28 of Viken Command

“And that’s only one shipment. Twenty crates. The large cannons are in the back,” Teig said, going to the second crate.

Beyond that, I saw others. He grabbed a weapon off the top and held it up. “Fuck. This is more than we planned for, Alarr. How are we going to move them?”

“We have to find a way. Once these are off-planet, they’ll be put to use immediately.” Alarr’s voice was deep and full of certainty as if he knew exactly how the weapons would be used. He probably did.

“And no one is the wiser. No one imagines a pleasure resort on Viken would be where the weapons are coming from. The perfect cover.” Oran. That dark, commanding voice. All three of them were in deep.

“These will be on the ship by morning, and there will be hundreds of dead Coalition fighters within days.” Teig’s seductive voice made the death of hundreds of soldiers sound… refined. A given.

My body chilled, yet my palms were damp. These guys were bad. All three of them were really, really bad. They made my father and brother look like Boy Scouts. The Mason boys had stolen people’s savings and livelihoods, but they’d never killed anyone. My father was too big of a coward for that.

Alarr, Teig, and Oran were murderers. These weapons they held, that they planned to send somewhere, were going to kill innocent people. People who volunteered to fight to protect Earth. Protect all of the planets.

I pulled back, leaned against the rough bark of the tree, closed my eyes. They were evil, and they’d touched me. Intimately. They’d used my body, my pleasure, as a weapon, taming me into a blind submission so I’d cluelessly live alongside them. I’d be their front, their plausible deniability.

A mate who was well fucked and kept happy surely couldn’t be mated to three Vikens who were traitors? It wasn’t possible.

But it was. They’d lied. Lied with their words. With their actions. No wonder they had never fucked me together. They didn’t w

ant to claim me like a true mating. I was just a cover for them.

My heart ached at how I’d been so ruthlessly used. My pussy ached, remembering just how they’d done it. And that Seed Power. God, it was like a drug, and they’d wielded it so I’d be oblivious. Lost.

The things they’d said. The dirty words. The way they touched me with gentle caresses and the most carnal of touches. The first time, Teig had put his mouth on me. Alarr had played with my ass. Oran had tied me up, made me beg, fucked me with a plug in my ass. Alarr had returned, his touch comforting, making me feel safe as I’d sucked his cock and swallowed his seed like I was starving for it. God, I’d devoured him, and that made me want to vomit now.

God, I’d begged!

A rush of tears slid down my cheeks as I listened to them. Held my breath when I heard Teig say my name.

“Helion was right. Whitney was the perfect front. We were able to get into areas of the resort because of her. Fucking her was the best cover.”

Playful Teig. Or so I’d thought.

“Her screams of pleasure were the perfect alibi.” Alarr sighed as if he regretted the time spent with me. “Now, we’ll have to tell her something she’ll believe so she won’t fight us when we take her from Viken.”

I was just an alibi? I clenched my thighs together, remembering how they’d made me gasp, made me cry out. God, they’d made me scream, and it had felt so good to let go, to trust. Everyone in the resort had to have heard me. And no mate touched herself, screamed when she made herself come all alone. Not here.

“Yes. We must hurry and return to her. The Seed Power is keeping her pliant. I’m sure she is feeling the need for us… for more.” Oran spoke calmly as I heard them place the weapons back inside the crates and replace the lids. “It is dangerous to leave her alone for so long.”

“It was necessary,” Alarr added. I heard true command in his voice. He was the leader here, and his word appeared to be law, for the other two agreed at once. The testing had matched me to him.

“True.”

“Keeping her screaming inside the hut today while I ran recon was perfect. The plan worked. I don’t know what you two are upset about.” Teig’s lack of concern scalded my lungs like I was breathing sulfur.

So even while Alarr and Oran had been fucking me, making me beg and scream, it had all been part of an orchestrated plan.

I’d heard enough. Carefully, I ducked through the foliage at once and fled. I couldn’t return to them. Not now. Not ever. It didn’t matter how much this fucking hurt or how much my body craved them because of the Seed Power. God, I couldn’t stomach the idea of them getting near me.

They’d lied. How had I come across the galaxy to be with three mates who lied? Who deceived? Who were murderers?

The testing was bad. God, why would it match me to traitors? It had to know I couldn’t condone being tricked. Yet, I’d been tricked even worse than I had on Earth.

Maybe it knew, maybe I was destined to have nothing but fucked up relationships in my life.

I found the path, wiped my cheeks, and tipped my head high. In the distance, I could see the pathway lights, but that wasn’t where I was going.

With my father and brother, I hadn’t known. I hadn’t had a choice in their deception. I’d been lied to, yes, but I’d been ignorant. Now, I knew what the guys were doing. I had no choice. They were going down.
