Why Do You Avoid Me, Human?" the Alien Queen Asked — And Her Response Left Me Shocked

#audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman
When a human advisor spends six months carefully avoiding the alien Queen he serves, she finally corners him and demands the truth. His answer—that he's not afraid of her power, but of how deeply she affects him—breaks through centuries of her loneliness and ignites a connection that could unite two species... or destroy everything if discovered.
🎬 What happens when honesty becomes the most dangerous weapon?
Jared Kovac has perfected the art of avoidance. As human liaison to the Vaelthir Royal Court, he's spent six months calculating routes through the palace, timing meetings, and doing everything possible to minimize contact with Queen Osirath—the immortal ruler whose beauty, brilliance, and commanding presence have ruled an empire for 270 years. But it's not her authority that terrifies him. It's the way his heart stops when she speaks, the way her rare smiles feel like solar flares, the way being near her makes professional objectivity impossible. So he runs. Until the day Queen Osirath traps him in an archive corridor and demands to know why her own advisor treats her presence like punishment. Jared faces an impossible choice: lie and preserve his career, or tell the truth and risk everything. When he admits he's intimidated not by her power but by his feelings for her, something unexpected happens. The unstoppable Queen goes silent. Then her voice softens, her ancient walls crack, and she confesses that in centuries of rule, people have feared her wrath—but never feared loving her. His honesty awakens emotions she buried beneath duty, and suddenly two people from different worlds are navigating something neither planned for: genuine connection in a context where it could destroy them both.
