Soul of Eon (Eon Warriors #8) - Anna Hackett Page 0,54
Cren, I was afraid of it.”
“And now neither of us would give up our women.”
“I’d fight anyone who tried to take Finley from me.”
“We’re lucky.”
“Beyond lucky. Blessed by the warriors.”
They tapped their glasses together.
“Sounds like your first task as the new Eon ambassador to Earth will be shortlisting candidates for the king’s wife.”
Sabin grimaced. “I’ll leave that to Eve.”
Thane shook his head and sipped his drink. “Sabin, the Kantos won’t stop. The StarStorm won’t hold them off forever. If we’re lucky, we’ll find an antidote and stop the pathogen, but the Kantos will invent more weapons, more abominations.”
“King Gayel is committed to stopping them, one way or another. With Earth and these resilient Terrans by our side, we can win.”
Thane nodded. They’d never stop fighting.
“You two look so serious.” Kaira appeared, moving to Thane’s side and wrapping an arm around his waist.
“We were talking about the Kantos,” he told her.
She groaned. “No Kantos tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll have to worry about them, but tonight is ours.”
“But we—”
She pressed a finger to his lips. “No excuses, warrior.
Finley claimed Sabin, dragging him away.
“Now, I get you to myself,” Kaira murmured.
“I’m yours,” he said. “Every minute of every day. No moment will go by where I don’t love you, and where I’m not grateful you’re my mate.”
Her face softened. “Don’t make me cry.”
“As long as they’re happy tears.”
“If I’m with you, they will be. Thanks for making me fall in love with you, Thane.”
He pulled her close, loving the way her small, toned body fit against him. Right where it was supposed to be.
“Thanks for loving me, Kaira, and gifting me your heart. I’ll protect it for the rest of our lives.”
They kissed, and it was filled with hope, love, and promise.
She smiled. “Now, how about some dessert?”
He smiled back. “I have developed a taste for ice cream.”
I hope you enjoyed Kaira and Thane’s story!
Stay tuned for the final action-packed Eon Warriors adventure, King Gayel’s story, King of Eon, coming later in 2021. And don’t worry, we won’t be saying a total goodbye to the Eon and their Terran mates just yet…

Just another day at the office.
Harper Adams pulled herself along the outside of the space station module. She could hear her quiet breathing inside her spacesuit, and she easily pulled her weightless body along the slick, white surface of the module. She stopped to check a security panel, ensuring all the systems were running smoothly.
Check. Same as it had been yesterday, and the day before that. But Harper never ever let herself forget that they were six hundred million kilometers away from Earth. That meant they were dependent only on themselves. She tapped some buttons on the security panel before closing the reinforced plastic cover. She liked to dot all her Is and cross all her Ts. She never left anything to chance.
She grabbed the handholds and started pulling herself up over the cylindrical pod to check the panels on the other side. Glancing back behind herself, she caught a beautiful view of the planet below.
Harper stopped and made herself take it all in. The orange, white, and cream bands of Jupiter could take your breath away. Today, she could even see the famous superstorm of the Great Red Spot. She’d been on the Fortuna Research Station for almost eighteen months. That meant, despite the amazing view, she really didn’t see it anymore.
She turned her head and looked down the length of the space station. At the end was the giant circular donut that housed the main living quarters and offices. The main ring rotated to provide artificial gravity for the residents. Lying off the center of the ring was the long cylinder of the research facility, and off that cylinder were several modules that housed various scientific labs and storage. At the far end of the station was the docking area for the supply ships that came from Earth every few months.
“Lieutenant Adams? Have you finished those checks?”
Harper heard the calm voice of her fellow space marine and boss, Captain Samantha Santos, through the comm system in her helmet.
“Almost done,” Harper answered.
“Take a good look at the botany module. The computer’s showing some strange energy
