A Mafia Princess disguised as a boy…

Running from a loveless marriage, I disguised myself and tricked my way aboard the starship captained by my Fated Mate. Only Turk doesn’t know we’re meant to be together and how can I tell him when he thinks I’m a boy? I don’t dare reveal my true identity but what happens when my body starts craving his and he finds out who I really am? Will he believe we’re meant to be together…or send me back to the cruel old man who paid for me?

A Mafia Captain tricked into hiring his Fated Mate

I thought there was something strange about my new crew member. He was so quiet and shy—and much too pretty to be male. But he was also the best damn navigator I’d ever seen. Still, why did I feel so drawn to him? It didn’t make sense—I’m no lover of males. When another crew member attacked him, I was forced to take him into my own cabin to protect him. But then our bodies started reacting and the cravings began. Little did I know that the pretty new navigator was hiding a secret that would blow my life apart…

Author’s Note— Savage Union is a secret identity, forbidden fruit, Dark Alien Mafia Romance—the second book in the Brutal Universe Series. It can be read as a stand-alone novel, but you might enjoy it more if you read Cruel Union, the first book in the series first.

JESSINA

MAFIA PRINCESS, DAUGHTER OF THE CHIEFTAIN OF CLAN CRUEL

“Jessina, where are you? Please, just let me know you’re safe. Our Sire is worried sick and Lyrah…well, you know how she is. But even she’s anxious. Where did you go? Are you all right? Call me. I can help you—I promise.”

I pulled the communication device from my ear and looked at it, contemplating my big brother’s voice message. Could he really help me? I wished I could believe it was true.

Slade was the Head Enforcer of Clan Cruel, one of the Four Families that ruled the fringes of the Imperium Galaxy. He was feared and respected and he had a lot of power. But did he have more power than our father, the Chieftain of Clan Cruel?

The answer was a definite no.

Slade might think he could help me—he might even swear to keep me safe. But he couldn’t overrule the will of our father. And our father was under the spell of my wicked stepmother who had decided I was going to marry a disgusting old man who was thirty years my senior.

If that sounds dramatic, I’m sorry but every word is true.

Lyrah, my stepmother, had stepped into my father’s life and basically seduced him not two months after my own mother died. That was ten years ago and she’s been leading my father around by his nose ever since. (Though let’s get real—that’s not the body part she’s leading him around by.)

Lyrah’s been trying to get me married off almost from the minute she moved into my family’s mansion. I think she just wants to get rid of me so she can have my father all to herself. My big brother, Slade, moved out two months after she moved in. But since I’m a daughter, not a son, I didn’t have that option.

I’ve been doing my best to avoid her for years, but she still wants me gone. So when my father decided it was time for me to marry, she naturally volunteered to take over the whole process.

I didn’t know anything about it until she took me to a “special surprise luncheon” as she put it at Chez L’ronge, the most expensive and exclusive restaurant on Rigelis Nine.

I was suspicious, of course—Lyrah and I mostly avoid each other. Why would she want to take me to lunch now? All the way there in the back of the hover-limo, she kept prattling on about how I was getting too old to keep living at home and that I needed a new direction in my life.

I was starting to have some hope that maybe she had talked my father into letting me move out to an apartment of my own, the way Slade had. He has the penthouse suite at the top of the Henkleton Resort where he and his new human bride, Aurora were currently living their best lives. So at the time, I thought that maybe Lyrah had arranged for me to get an apartment in the same resort as my big brother.

But all my hopes were dashed when we walked into the circular dining room of Chez L’ronge.

The restaurant is located at the top of the tallest tower in the city and it boasts a gorgeous view of the entire downtown area. Looking down from the circular windows that ring the entire dining area, you can see all the lines of flying traffic and the 3-D Holo ads which are often as big as the buildings themselves.

But it wasn’t the spectacular view I was looking at. It was the elderly male sitting at one of the tables. He must be at least half Brute—which is the race of the Four Families or Clans—because he did have the curling horns all Brute males have. But they were small and withered and unpainted. Only chieftains, enforcers, and soldiers of the Clans are allowed to paint their horns, so I knew at once this male was someone who was outside the inner circle I had grown up in.

The Brutal Clans function like the Mob back on Old Earth—we operate outside the law in things like racketeering, smuggling, and illegal cloning. We also offer protection to the ragged little colonies and planetoids barely hanging on around the fringes of the galaxy where the Imperium—the galactic government—usually doesn’t bother to come.

I say “we” but I’ve never had anything to do with the family business—that’s the way my father wants it. He’s also expressed a wish to have me marry outside the Clan, to a male unaffiliated with any of the Four Families. So I guess the stranger’s unpainted horns shouldn’t have been a surprise.

What was a surprise was how old he was. There were wrinkles around his eyes and the corners of his mouth and the grey skin of his cheeks hung in doughy waddles on either side of his face. He was wearing a long robe to try and disguise his girth, but it was clear that he wasn’t in very good shape.

SLADE
I knew as soon as I saw her that she was MINE.

It's called The Lightning Strike--the feeling a Brute gets when he finds his Fated Mate. I knew Aurora was my Fated Mate, but how could I get her?

She's a Princess but worse, she's Untainted with pure human DNA--they don't want anything to do with my kind. I guess I can't blame her--I'm a criminal after all. A member of the Four Families--Clan Cruel to be exact. Sure we dabble in extortion, gun-running, gambling, and illegal cloning. But that doesn't mean I won't do anything in the universe to make the curvy little human mine and taste her until she moans my name and tugs my horns.

Aurora
All I knew about Slade was that he was the Enforcer from Clan Cruel who collected our Tribute every six months. Muscles strained the expensive suits he wore and his golden eyes followed me everywhere. The way he looked at me made me quiver inside so I tried to avoid him.

I had no idea he had decided I was his Fated Mate.

Apparently, he's been watching me for years and now he sees his opportunity--my foolish younger brother has gambled away all the tribute money. With no other way to pay, I'm forced to accept his proposition--Slade wants to marry me and make me bear his heir. For six months he gets to try to impregnate me. If I get pregnant, I have to stay.

I'm not staying.

I might have to marry the huge Brute, but I'll never have his child.

Author's Note--Cruel Union is a forced marriage, Dark Mafia Romance--the first book in the new Brutal Universe Series.

PROLOGUE

AURORA

HAVING MY ENEMY’S BABY

Goddess of Mercy, I can’t believe I’m doing this, I thought, staring at myself in the antique mirror I had inherited from my mother. A girl with long brown hair and brown eyes stared back. I couldn’t understand what the huge alien Enforcer saw in me—why he wanted me so badly.

By the standards of my people I was past my prime—a spinster never expected to marry. And I wasn’t thin either—my body was too curvy and full-figured to be considered pleasing to most men.

And yet, Slade wanted me.

He wanted me not just as his wife, but as the mother of his heir. He had told me he expected to breed me! How could I allow him to do that? How could I open my legs for my enemy and let him plant his baby inside me? And why did the thought of it give me a dark thrill of desire in the pit of my stomach?

Stop it! I scolded myself. You don’t want this—you don’t want him.

That was true—I was sure of it. I didn’t want anything to do with the Brutal crime lord—the head Enforcer of Clan Cruel. He was huge and frightening and the bulge I saw in his trousers let me know I was in for a wedding night as cruel as the name of his clan. But still, the way he looked at me with those burning golden eyes…

I pushed the thought away and tried to think of something else—anything else. But Slade’s image kept popping up in my mind’s eye. Oh Goddess, how was I ever going to get through this wedding?

And even worse, how was I going to survive the honeymoon?

I closed my eyes and tried to think back. How had this all started? How had I gotten to this point? Was there any way I could have avoided it? And had Slade really been determined to make me his all along?

I just didn’t know…

SLADE

HEAD ENFORCER OF CLAN CRUEL

“You sure you’re ready to Bind this girl?” Turk asked me, throwing back another shot of Prithian Sour. His moving neon tats—a sign of Clan Savage—flexed over his dark grey skin as he signaled the bartender for another. “She’s an Untainted you know—she isn’t going to come easy.”

“Yeah—she’s not gonna want anything to do with your ‘Impure’ ass.” Drake laughed and flexed his wings—a sure sign he was from Clan Ruthless. Their Elders had mated with the Dr’gons of Ni’malth Prime—a strategic trade. The result was that the males of their family could fly—pretty fucking useful in battle.

“Like Slade gives a fuck,” Rath growled. He rubbed his curling horns, now painted silver, with one gloved hand. The metallic shine was a sign that the Chieftain of his Family—Clan Vicious—trusted him implicitly. “He’s gonna take her no matter what she wants—she’s his Fated Mate.”

“I’ll take her all right—but I won’t force her,” I said, knocking back my own drink—a Corthian brandy that had a deceptively sweet start and then burned like a fucking fireball going down. “I won’t have to,” I added.

“Oh no?” Drake demanded. “Then how the fuck do you expect to keep her with you?”

“Yeah—I thought you wanted this little human like you wanted your next breath.” Rath adjusted his gloves which ended at the wrist—he wore them to keep from feeling too much. Clan Vicious’ abilities could also be a liability at times.

I clenched my jaw as I tried to keep myself from reacting to my friend’s words. Deep down, I felt the Darkness inside me stirring but I took a deep breath and pushed it back down. My own family—Clan Cruel—had mixed with the Night Walkers of Midnight Prime. The thing inside me was useful for battle…but it could be a problem sometimes.

“I want her so much I fucking ache—she’s all I fucking think about,” I admitted in a low voice. “But a forced Binding isn’t what I’m looking for. In fact, I’m not even planning to Bind her to me at all—not completely anyway.”

Turk shoved away the droid bartender—who was just about to pour his drink—and slammed down his glass to give me a look.

“You’re going to do a partial Binding? What the fuck, Slade? Are you looking to be in pain? Are you some kind of masochist?” His fangs showed, making the last word into a hiss. Clan Savage had Serpentine blood in their ancestry.

“I’m not worried about it, if that’s what you’re asking,” I said coolly, motioning for the bartender. The droid moved forward mechanically, pointing its spout-finger at my drink to refill it with more of the same. “She’ll come around. Untainted or not, no woman can resist their Fated Mate for long.”

“He’s got a point,” Drake said, flexing his wings again. “But still—what a fucking hassle. Why choose an Untainted for your Fated Mate?”

“You know as well as I do that you don’t get to choose,” I pointed out. “She’s just the one—I’ve known from the first minute I saw her.” As I spoke, I ran a hand over my golden horns—a nervous habit that helped sooth the Darkness inside.
