much he smiled more often.
“Kh’Ziami?
He was probably in the room they’d set up as the data room with all the computers and comms for gathering data. It was his favorite place to be.
Contrary to what she’d thought, she didn’t need to help him with his data. It turned out there was a whole section of the space station that had once housed a greenhouse with different plants and even a few species of insects.
She had her own data to gather on these species that would probably span the rest of her life.
She wasn’t complaining.
It was as if she’d gotten three wishes from a genie in a bottle.
She had traveled, going farther than most of her species had ever gone.
She had new species to study, and she had a man that she loved and who completely adored her.
Speaking of which...
“Kh’Ziami?”
A sound in the living quarters, which she’d converted into a large bedroom, caught her attention and she headed that way.
“Kh’Ziami?”
As she stepped through the entrance her steps halted as her eyes fell on Kyro. He was sitting on the bed, looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.
“Um...” she said, glancing around the room before her eyes settled on him once more.
“I’m going to show you something,” he said. “But first you must turn around.”
“Okay...” Her brow furrowed a little as she spun her back to him. Whatever could he have that she hadn’t seen yet? Had he been exploring the rest of the station without her? It was a pretty large station, much larger than she’d expected it to be and she reckoned they still had a lot more to go through before they could say they’d seen it all. Life support wasn’t working in some sections though, so she had to wait till Kyro fixed those areas.
When a few long moments passed and he didn’t tell her to turn back around, her brows furrowed deeper.
“Can I turn around now?” she asked. “Kh’Ziami?”
When he didn’t reply, she looked over her shoulder, her eyes widening.
She had to turn fully so she could see properly but it didn’t make the shock lessen.
“What the...”
There, sitting on top of Kyro’s trousers on the bed, was the ugliest cat she had ever seen in her life.
At least, she assumed it was a cat. It was a bit larger than a regular cat.
Its ears were at the side of its head instead of on top and its eye sockets were just a bit too large. Its whiskers were long and a bit too thick and its nose was larger than a cat’s usually is.
It was white all over except for the black and orange patches and on its side was a black patch in the shape of a heart.
Evren’s heart seized for a second as she stared into the cat’s gray eyes...Kyro’s gray eyes.
He had tried to shift into the form of her cat Nigel.
She didn’t even remember describing Nigel to him.
“Oh, God.” She moved forward, her eyes brimming with tears.
Kyro’s gray eyes suddenly became anxious and she realized he must be confused by her reaction.
Coming to stand in front of him on the bed, she covered her mouth as she willed her tears to keep at bay.
A low chuckle started in her throat as she looked at him.
He had really tried. He really had. But still...
“You are the ugliest cat I have ever seen,” she choked out between a sob. Kyro blinked up at her. “The ugliest cat but the most beautiful person.”
Kyro rubbed his head against her outstretched palm and she swallowed hard, letting out another small laugh after she did.
“I didn’t expect this,” she said, stepping back as he began to shift once more.
As he grew in front of her into his usual form, she threw her hands around his neck, burying her face into his chest.
“Thank you for that,” she whispered. “It was a lovely gift.”
“You said it was ugly.”
His words made her chuckle again, she couldn’t help it.
“It was ugly...but beautiful at the same time.”
“I don’t understand,” he said.
Lifting her head from his neck, she looked him in the eyes. “You’re beautiful.” She smiled. “You’re a beautiful person.”
Kyro cleared his throat. “Does that mean you will marry me?”
“Marry you?” She had to lean back a little so she could look at him properly. “Marry you? Your species get married?”
“No. But yours does.” He searched her face. “I researched this for Kyris. He and his female will be getting married. I want us to do so as well. If you want to. It is a promise humans make that they will stay together forever. I want us to make that promise. Together.”
She couldn’t help but grin at him.
“Kinda jumped the gun there, hon. We’ve already eloped forever.”
The look on his face made her smile as her heart filled with warmth. He was looking at her as if she’d been his only hope for a date and she’d turned him down.
“We’ll get married then.” She leaned in to brush her nose against his. “I’ll marry you.”
“You will?”
“Yes.” She grinned. “And then I’ll be your wife, I’ll have your babies, and you can Hulk out anytime someone threatens to tear us apart.”
“Hulk out?”
Evren laughed. “Human reference.” She sobered as their eyes met. “Just know that I love you. I always will.”
“I love you too, my Evren. And I will always love you.”
As Kyro pulled her closer, falling back on the bed with her, their lips met.
They were words of great value, words she would always hold dear to her heart—a promise of forever, sealed with a kiss.
A note from A.G
Wow.
I knew Kyro’s story from the very start of the series when I put Xul on paper, but he still managed to surprise me.
I hope you loved him as much as I do (I’m having a hard time choosing which one of these heroes I like the best now).
If you’ve been following me on social media, or maybe because you’ve read this book, you probably know by now that the series will be continuing. What will happen to those people in the stasis hold they found? Or that guy from Yce’s planet who is being held captive. Will they win the war?
I’ll be doing a spinoff on the Restitution in a new series that’s linked to this one. So don’t worry, you’ll be seeing your favorite characters once more when they do “cameos.”
I can’t wait to explore more of this universe! If there’s anything you’d love to read about, shoot me an email. I’d love to hear.
I’ll also be launching a few new series this year into early 2021. The next series is Riv’s Sanctuary, which is already being written.
For updates on my writing progress, check my website. I have a handy little section there on the front page where you can check how far I am in writing your next favorite read.
Loved Kyro? If you would like to leave a review on any of your preferred platforms, I’d appreciate it. If not, that’s okay as well.
Keep an eye out for Riv’s Sanctuary and the Restitution series! Coming soon!

Next Series
Riv’s Sanctuary
Bought for a zoo and then for questionable bedroom affairs…can she get a break?
Abducted from Earth over a year ago, Lauren spends most of that time getting accustomed to her new life as one of the “animals” in an alien zoo. So when she’s sold by the zookeeper, her life takes another turn and she’s brought to a sanctuary owned by a tall blue hunk of an alien called Riv.
Riv’s life is quiet and peaceful in a place as far away from civilization as he could manage. So when an acquaintance leaves an annoying chatterbox human on his doorstep, he’s less than pleased. He’s not interested in helping Lauren, and he’s definitely not interested in love.
…But she’s the first female to break the barriers he’d built around his heart...
Riv’s Sanctuary is a full-length standalone sci-fi romance featuring a sassy heroine and a hot, grumpy, and possessive hero who would do anything to protect the one who shows him how to love.
If you like sexy aliens, adventure, and steamy romance, check out Riv’s Sanctuary. This standalone book contains steamy sex scenes with a guaranteed happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

Thanks to Mr. Wilde and the little Wildes running about.
If not for you, I’d have probably written about six books already this year.
I love you, nevertheless.
