But apparently a notary needed assistants, and that had been her occupation back on her homeworld. A moment later, she tried to smile. “Do you think I could try and go get us some water at the well today? Huzoga said he could get a bathtub.” I nodded because I didn’t know what else to do. After all, I couldn’t lock Kayla up here.<\/p>\n

My father seemed to have forgotten his nickname\u2014the Heartless\u2014because his heart was obviously beating for Kayla. But it wasn’t just my father who was delighted by her arrival. The whole tribe was enthusiastic. Not a big surprise considering that every single one of them was probably hoping to get into bed with Kayla. Well, my father didn’t, but he continued to give me reproachful looks because he wanted me to “pass her on.” Nonsense. She was mine. I had found her.<\/p>\n

I had rescued her. And then, of course, there was the matter of the Horgerian women. For that reason alone, I had to keep an eye on Kayla. It was my task to look after her. She held up the piece of fabric and pulled the thread taut.<\/p>\n

“Now that’s starting to look better, isn’t it?” As she slowly came to terms with the fact that she would be staying here, she tried to make herself useful. She was currently working on her wardrobe, but she wasn’t particularly talented when it came to sewing by hand. She had her brow furrowed, and I would have loved to run my finger over it to smooth it out.<\/p>\n

“Just about perfect,” I lied, even though the stitches were crooked. She beamed at me. “And I’ve only stung myself twice.” I sighed into my half-empty cup. “I’ll probably go hunting today. You’re free to roam the village, but . . .” “But I’m not supposed to go even near the forest. I know.” Her thick curls bounced as she nodded.<\/p>\n

I wanted to touch them and play with them, but that wasn’t possible for several reasons. “What’s the matter?” She looked up and caught me staring. “I’m just tired.” There was a knock on the door, and I rolled my eyes. “We’re not here, Father.” He came in anyway. Since I’d brought Kayla here, he’d visited every day as if he wanted to check that she was still alive.<\/p>\n

Of course, he was a sly one and always had good reasons to come by, but I wasn’t an idiot. “Good morning, Kayla. I have a few things for you.”<\/p>\n

Planet Earth as I knew it no longer exists, and I have no choice but to leave. However, I have only one chance of starting over: convincing someone with a spaceship that it’s worth taking me with them. When I hear the rumor that a Horgerian man will be leaving for his home planet Horgerion fairly soon, I decide to throw myself at him\u2014 shamelessly. There are a few minor obstacles, though: I’m not the only woman with this idea.<\/p>\n

I know nothing about Horgerians or the planet Horgerion. And when I find out that Horgerians like to eat human flesh, it’s already too late … This short story contains a touch of the apocalypse, an unexpected savior, and a desperate heroine who is prepared to do (almost) anything. click here to download for free OceanofPDF.com GRUT, THE CRUEL Just a while ago I was in my car in Nevada.<\/p>\n

Now I’m on another planet and sitting in a cage\u2014in front of some aliens who are clearly eyeing me a little bit too curiously. Then another alien saves me. A Horgerian called Grut, the Cruel, of all things. What a concerning name. He’s convinced that I’m part of some kind of test in which he has to prove himself worthy of a bride. But for that he has to take care of me\u2014like I’m a damn Tamagotchi.<\/p>\n

So I have been taken from my home to end up as consolation prize? Great. Just great! Slightly dark alien romance with a happy ending. OceanofPDF.com 1 GRUT I was exhausted when I entered the village. My right arm hurt because one of the poachers had been able to hit me with a club. I hadn’t been quick enough, and because of that my ego was bruised worse than my arm. But I’d get over it.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the poachers, whose heads I now delivered to the tanner. Thera, the Talented, sighed when he saw me. “More skulls for the rampart?” “Aye.” I pounded my chest with my fist. “Put them with the others.” He pointed to the pile of bones and skulls I had brought him over the course of the last few days. There were a lot of them\u2014I had become impatient and restless, leaving at first light and usually returning after dark at the earliest.<\/p>\n

“Your skins are in the back.” He narrowed his eyes. “Could you slow down a bit, maybe? I can barely keep up.” “He’s right,” a voice announced from behind me. I turned around. My father smiled at me and put his hand on my shoulder. “You need to rest for a while.<\/p>\n

Come with me\u2014for a drink.” I didn’t want a drink. I wanted a big and juicy Sirrel steak, I wanted to sharpen my swords for tomorrow, and I primarily wanted my peace and quiet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
