Sent Beast Mate(Beast Mates, #3)(54)

Yeah, she’d look up at me with those pretty blue byes and bat her eyelashes. Oh, Torrent, I love your monster dick. Poke me some more.

She dunked under, then back up. Under, then nothing.

I waited.

And waited.

Checked my watch.

Ah, there. She came back up. Shivering, her lips blue.

The human cold. A condition that caused humans to drip snot down their nose as if they had snot reserves up in their heads. It made them miserable and weak. They believed they catch their damn cold from being cold, and I was gonna kill her father, her leader, or any male that should be here and wasn’t. Strangle them with my bare hands if my senseless mate caught a cold. When she didn’t come up for air the second time she dunked under water, I stripped, left my clothes on the sky bike, and approached the lake.

Warm water trickled down my face. Wait. Why was the water warm? Where was it coming from?

I sniffed.



The lake and all its beauty disappeared from my mind, and I was back in the desert. Alone, and…I sniffed again. Piss. Someone was pissing on my head. Fucking hell.

When the activity stopped, I peeled open my good eye. The other was shut from the beating I’d taken from Men of Earth probably a month ago. Time was hard to judge. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever use the eye again. But I didn’t need a pair of eyes to see the human child tuck his wiener under his…kilt and shuffle his right foot so that sand stuck on the urine he’d put on my face. “You little shit,” I groaned out.

“Oh hey, you’re alive.”

“Get away from me.”

“No way. I got my first prey. Marked you and all.”

“Go bring me water.”

Another pair of feet shuffled, and a female crouched next to the boy. She wiped the sand from my face.

I didn’t need one good eye to see.

I didn’t need eyes at all.

Because I’d recognize my mate if it was the last thing I did.

But she couldn’t recognize me. I was beyond recognition. Body and soul, I had changed from that day by the lake. I knew she couldn’t recognize me, because if she could, she’d know not to rescue the beast who had once taken her.
