    About this ebook

    Still reeling from everything that they have learned, the Denynso, their mates, and their visitors continue to cope with the new information as they prepare for their separate journeys. As Pyra tries to convince Eden that she and the new baby should remain on Uoria rather than traveling to Earth and Gyyx tries to convince Creia that he should join his people as they travel for the wedding, Ero and Creia struggle with internal forces that make both question who they are and how they will move forward.

    The group traveling back to the settlement leave with their own missions in mind and the time for the shuttles to Earth arrive draws close, separating the clan and leaving the compound at both its strongest and its most vulnerable…

      The Alien's Conflict - Grace Kensington

      1

      Pyra drew his tiny son closer to his body, resting him directly over his heart and tucking his head so that he could envelope him completely and draw in a breath of his scent. Eden's words had struck him deeply and he couldn't shake the thoughts that they had inspired in his mind. His mate had always spoken of the man who had been her boss on Earth and sent her on the scientific expedition to Uoria with a sense of disgust and anger, but he had never heard the level of fear and apprehension in her voice that he did then as she revealed that she thought that Ryan was capable of far more than anyone had ever imagined. She stared at Lysander as she said it as if she were revealing something that she had held within her for so long but was only now willing to put a voice to because of the fragile baby that was now in the world, vulnerable to everything and needing the protection of his parents.

      What do you think that he could do? Pyra asked, trying to keep his voice as calm and steady as he could so that he wouldn't frighten his mate any more than she already was.

      The last several weeks had been incredibly illuminating to the lead warrior of the Denynso. He had left the compound for the first time in his life with determination to find out what else lived on his beloved planet, identify any threats that might exist, and find ways to resolve them so that they could not harm the baby that was not yet born at that time. What he thought would be a simple journey had turned into something complex and horrifying, showing him not just the creatures that lived on that planet and what threats they held, but also the hidden threats that he never thought he would encounter again, and could never have imagined existed. What was just as, and possibly even more horrifying than the creatures he had found and what he had learned about the history of the planet was how much he had changed after learning everything.

      Pyra, like all Denynso warriors, confronted threats with aggression, violence, and fury. This was what had earned them the reputation as being the most fearsome, powerful, and effective warriors in the galaxy. As he learned about the Covra and what they did to the people of the settlement, and then the Mikana and their unexpected disturbing connection to the Klimnu that he thought they had eliminated in that last terrifying battle, a change came over Pyra that was unlike anything that he had ever experienced. He felt a level of anger, disgust, and vicious desire for vengeance that he had never felt.

      In an instant he went from wanting to help the humans who had been locked by the Covra and being willing to accept the help of the strange but beautiful people from the nearby kingdom that had once maintained good relations with the settlement to wanting to destroy and eliminate all of the Mikana and anyone who had stood in his way. In them he saw not just the Klimnu that had tormented his kind for years and been the cause of pain, fear, and death for as long as he could remember, torturing not just the Denynso warriors who engaged in battle with them, but also the human women who came to the planet and became the mates of several of the Denynso men, but as a deeply disturbing form of betrayal from his planet.

      The Mikana were beautiful, seemingly kind creatures who had immediately welcomed Pyra into their kingdom and offered their assistance when he told them what they were facing with the people of the settlement and the Covra. He had trusted them, relied on them to help him protect the humans of the settlement as well as the warriors and themselves. Soon, though, this trust began to unravel as he learned of the secrets that their leader, Rey, had been withholding and the truth behind their lovely faces and helpful hands came to light.

      He had begun to feel wary of them when he found out that Rey had lied to him when he told him that his kind had not had contact with the Covra. They had, in fact, been locked in aggressive conflict with the Covra well before the humans that eventually built the settlement even arrived on the planet. It had been them
