The Human Soldier Thought He'd Receive a Simple Reward — But the Reward Was the Alien Princess

#audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman
When a sergeant expects a medal for holding impossible ground, he gets something far more complicated instead: a partnership with alien royalty that will redefine his entire life.
🎬 A Story of Unexpected Bonds
Sergeant Ryan Cole held Atheron Gate alone for three hours against impossible odds, disobeying orders to protect civilians he'd never met. He expected disciplinary action or at best a perfunctory medal. Instead, he's summoned before the Serath royal court and offered a reward beyond comprehension: Princess Lyrana herself. In Serath culture, the one who protects the future without obligation earns the right to stand beside the royal line as consort—a binding partnership that means Ryan will never return to Earth, never see his family again, but will stand as equal partner to a princess who saw in his actions the values her throne must represent. Ryan faces an impossible choice: accept and commit his life to alien royalty and responsibilities he never sought, or refuse and insult the highest honor Serath can bestow.
