My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode-Sensing danger

Hero was at the edge of breaking down, he looked like he could really use a hug but that wasn't really advisable since the body I was in reacted to him too much than I would want for myself. But when tears started to surface unto his eyes...I knew I wouldn't be able to watch him.

"He had always been there for me" He choked back his cries and I heaved a heavy sigh watching as a little glistening tear escaped his eyes.

"I felt I could trust him...I didn't trust anyone but...I had hope that I could trust him" Hero let out with a shaky breath, I couldn't watch him cry...I don't know why my heartache watching him so I moved closer and slowly wrapped my arms around him ignoring the burst of pleasure inside of me. Ignoring the little burns of want and desire creeping my skin. Hero sobbed freely and I exhaled trying to curb my strange want and need, just wanting to comfort Hero but then something happened, there was one particular tentacle I found strange on any Ghafil alien I see, it was longer than the rest of the tentacles on my head and had a swollen tail compare to others which were slim and free, I've never seen it move like others that coil and uncoil according to the mood you're in so this odd body attachment was suddenly connected to Hero's and I felt my eyes dilated and my heartbeat accelerate as Hero's thoughts boomed in my mind. I could hear all he was thinking...he was confused, sad...depressed...he was lonely. He wanted someone...someone who would understand him, someone who would be there for him but he had lost that chance with his two favorite brothers which he had banished.

They could have made everything easier for him, then all of a sudden he was thinking about me, how he had loved me since we were both on earth, how he had watched me love two lovers of mine, how he had been but could only cheer me on since he wanted me to be happy, he wanted me...but he wanted me to want him too. I gasped and tear myself away from him seeing those tentacles disconnect and the soft light glow it had emitted during the connection was suddenly gone as I stared at Hero with a frantic heartbeat, panting as if I had run a marathon.

"What the f**k was that?" I demanded my brows furrowed tight. He was looking calmer compared to me, in fact...he was looking like he just finished a normal routine like it wasn't strange but he sighed and had a weird smug smile on his face.

"It's called the Fil connection. It's one of the unique things about us. We could connect to other people, the Fil allowed you to have a direct mental connection to whoever it is you want to have it with, that way you can share your thoughts and emotions. It's a gift...

"Oh really, to me it's freaking messed up" I complained moving to the mug on top of his desk to get myself a drink and calm my raging nerves but I really don't understand the look Hero was giving me, he looked...happy, satisfied, smiling in content. Then the ripple glow started and I saw the green glow traveled down his tentacles.

"Why in the world are you shy or embarrassed now?" I asked but more ripples traveled on his head and I wondered what it is he had seen in my mind.

"Hero, what did you...see? Which of my thoughts did you hear?" I was suddenly curious.

"Hero!?" I put my hands on my hips in an assertive stance staring at him with a demanding look, but there was this playful gleam in his eyes that was making a hot rush of want clenched my stomach as I looked up at him from under my lashes, he was affecting me in ways I couldn't predict. Hero then suddenly moved closer as he draws close, I moved back suddenly conscious of how little the control I have left is.

He moved closer, so close that he now had me trapped in my personal space, then a rakish smile made its way to his mouth. He lowered his face to me and I immediately turned my head the other way catching at the corner of my eyes his eyes darkening in immeasurable heat that made me want to moan but I bit it back. Hero pulled aside the falling strands of the thin tentacles that made up my hair leaving my neck bare to him.

"What are you doing?" I swallowed hard still not meeting his eyes but he didn't say a word instead he moved his mouth down to the crook of my neck and I squirmed, I couldn't hold back my moan now. I felt his warm breath tickle the sensitive skin and I moaned out loud.

"Just wanted to confirm something," He said against the sensitive skin and I clenched my fist to stop myself from losing my s**t.

"Hero, back off!" I tried to sound as serious as I needed but my senses were too clouded to get the right tone.

"Back off!" I let out strongly this time meeting Hero's eyes and he slowly moved back opening up our proximity and giving me some space to breathe. I guess he must have learned about how much he affected me. Goddammit being an alien's mate is tougher than I thought.

"Seriously Hero what was that for?" I frowned after he headed back to his table.

"It's hard Claire, it's hard to keep my hands off you when you wanted me too" I felt my nerves jumped as at his sudden assumption but I knew he wasn't assuming. He had glimpsed into my mind and could tell my deepest desires but I wasn't just going to give in to that, I wasn't planning to.

"I think you should be more focused on investigating which of your brother was really responsible for Aira's death?" it was like I punched him in the gut. The hurt that suddenly flashed his face, I guessed he loved Aira a lot. Reminded me of Nicholas...recalling how much we had loved each other teared me up.

"Excuse me?" I muttered immediately heading away from Hero's study. I recalled Nicholas' smile, I recalled his face, I recalled his touch...I regretted my decision to allow him to expel his soul when we had returned from the past...I was returned to my old body but he was returned into Danny's body, a neighbor and a high-school friend of mine.

During the apocalypse war...I was dying but I had persevered until the war was over to end the pain Hero had decided to expel my soul from my young body, Nicholas was fine...in fact, he could have stayed and be together with his family since Danny's mother was remarrying his real father. He could have been happy but he said he didn't belong in that time and wanted Hero to also expel him and then realized I had come back, I suddenly wish he was here, I suddenly wish he was Hero that I felt this strong connection. I wept feeling so sorry for myself and I had fallen asleep with the thoughts of how much I had missed my boyfriend.

I suddenly found myself in a dark room but I was the only one in the dark from where I stood, Hero was in the spotlight and I found a Ghafil running to him while he just looked around.

"Claire" He called but he couldn't see me as he looked around.

"Hero behind you!" I screamed as the Ghafil in a thick dark cloak stabbed him hard from the back. I saw Hero jolt from the impact and he looked down to the long spear that had protruded him before he raised his head to my horrified face.

"Claire" He coughed, green blood sputtering from his mouth.

"Hero!" I screamed as he slowly fell back with a loud thud that jolted me from my sleep with a scream that sent everything flying against the wall, including a strange Ghafil in a cloak with a dagger in his hand. He was trying to kill me...the realization dawn on me and I panicked screaming on top of my lungs, the Ghafil immediately headed for the door, and right before he could leave. Hero made his way in, his eyes darkened on the strange figure in front of him and he raised him into the air with just his hand gesture. He hit him hard against the floor, but he was about to squeeze him by the neck when one of the guards behind him suddenly stabbed him and he looked back shocked by the action, and I felt my body tremble at the sight in front of me.
