Prologue:
Scene opens: Maria is sitting on the desk in front of a chalkboard:
“Okay lots of things have been happening during the last year in Roswell. After Michael, Liz and I found the translation of the destiny book that Alex’s killer had the pod squad were heading for home. You see little Miss Tess told everyone she was pregnant and the baby was in trouble. Right before they left Kyle broke out of her mindwarp with help from Liz and I and we found out that she had killed Alex. The three of us hurried to the podchamber to stop them from leaving. We couldn’t get in and were about to give up when Michael opened the door to come out. He had decided to stay on Earth to be with me. Isn’t he just sweet?” She say smiling.
“We went in and confronted Tess. She admitted it and Max made all of us leave. Liz stayed though. Which was a good thing because when Liz grabbed her she found out that the whole pregnancy thing was a mindwarp too and Max had not done the deed with Tess. Tess used her powers to throw them out of the chamber and she escaped. So the blonde hussy was gone and the six of us were safe on Earth. We all headed back for Roswell. That’s when another mystery came up. Michael and I then later Max overheard Liz saying things that just blew us away. First off that she was planning on leaving town with Kyle and some guy we didn’t recognize. That’s also how Max found out about Future Max and that Liz didn’t sleep with Kyle. Not to mention that Liz was adopted and Kyle was her brother. We followed them to Seattle.”
“When we got to Seattle that’s when things got really weird. It seems that Liz had a whole secret family that none of us knew about and that the aliens weren’t the only ones hiding from the government. A part of the army called Manticore had actually created Liz, Kyle, and their siblings to become the perfect soldiers. They are like super humans. They rebelled against them and escaped. It was very dangerous, one of their sisters was actually killed, but they didn’t want the lives that Manticore was forcing on them. After they escaped they broke up and Kyle and Liz settled in Roswell. Manticore kept hunting for them so they had to stay hidden. They didn’t see any of their other siblings except the oldest Zack until they got to Seattle. That’s when they met up with Krit and Syl. They met up because one of their sisters, Max, was captured when she and Zack tried to rescue their other sister, Tinga. Max found Tinga’s body and wasn’t able to leave her so she was caught.”
Maria smiles, “Confused, yet?”
“The five Manticore kids went to Seattle because of a rescue mission but ended up staying to take out Manticore for good. The sister that they were going to rescue, Max, broke out and brought along with her the guy in charge of them at Manticore and later the one who was hunting them. Donald Lydecker. Now this guy made Pierce look tame in comparison. Liz and the others hated him with a passion. But that’s a long story that only they know everything about. Anyway this guy Lydecker was now being hunted by Manticore as well. So he helped the X5’s get inside the Manticore building to blow it up. Everything was working well until they were getting ready to leave and the alarms went off. They got out and the building was blown up but not before Lydecker double-crossed them. Trust me when I say that you don’t want to do that and Lydecker was taken care of. As they were trying to escape Max got shot and Kyle and Liz brought her back to the van. She almost died but Max, the alien, was able to heal her.”
“After that Liz and Kyle were able to see their whole family as a matter of fact Zack moved here. Also Ava came back to Roswell. Zack and Ava ended up together and not long after Nicholas came back to town with Lonnie and Rath. They kidnapped Liz trying to lure Max there so they could kill him. Of course they didn’t know that Liz wasn’t a normal human. Besides being transgenic, Max changed her when he healed her and she had powers along with Kyle and Maxie. After kicking Tess’s ass, she used one of her powers, astral projection, and was able to tell us where she was. Only there was an added problem. When she kicked Tess and Rath’s asses, Nicholas was able to find out what she was. The sick little munchkin wanted Liz for himself and tried to get Kivar to let him take her back to Antar. Kivar came to see Liz and decided he wanted her instead. When Zack and Max went in to get her Kivar and Nicholas were waiting for them. Thanks to Liz’s quick thinking they defeated them and Rath. Michael and the others took care of Lonnie which just left Tess.”
“Now we all know how evil Tess is. After all she is the one who killed Alex for her own selfish reasons. Now Tess knew she was screwed when the others went in after Liz and decided to bargain her way out of the situation, with me. You see her and Kivar had come to Earth from Antar by a portal device which Max had. She used her mindwarp to capture me, then threatened to kill me if they didn’t give her the device. Now Tess hated Liz so much that when Liz opened the portal Tess decided to hurt her by watching her kill me. Thanks to Liz’s quick X5 reflexes she was able to stop Tess from doing too much damage, and Max was able to heal me. Of course now I have powers. And that’s pretty much it. Everything has been quiet until today. Today we all graduated high school but the big stuff came after.
Part 1:
May 2002
“Smile, girls.” Nancy Parker ordered.
Liz laughed as her sisters grumbled about more pictures. Max, Jondy, Syl and Liz smiled brightly as Isabel, Ava, and Maria made faces at them from behind Nancy. Liz and Kyle as well as Max, Maria, and Michael had all graduated that morning and Liz’s parents were having a party at the Crashdown. Logan had flown all of the siblings down to Roswell to see their youngest siblings’ special day. Zack, Krit, Zane, Jack, Kyle, and Josh were hiding in one of the front booths. Michael, Logan, and Max were up there too. Nancy and the other mothers had already taken a ton of pictures and didn’t look to be stopping any time soon.
The Evans, Maria’s mom, and the Sheriff were sitting at the counter watching the scene in amusement. The Sheriff and Amy had gotten married and she was three months pregnant. Now that Maria was Kyle’s stepsister as well as Liz’s best friend, the X5s siblings had adopted her and considered her their sister.
The Roswell group was splitting apart but wouldn’t be far from one another. Michael and Maria were moving in together and at the end of the month getting a bigger apartment. They couldn’t decide what they wanted to do so they both decided to put off college for a year and work. Zack and Ava were still together and were staying in Roswell. Even with Liz leaving at the end of the summer, Ava was going to continue living with the Parkers and working at the Crashdown. Kyle had gotten a scholarship at UNM and Isabel was transferring from the community college that she’d been taking classes at to go with him. They were going to live in separate dorms but would spend as much time together as possible. Liz and Max were on their way to Stanford together and planning on also moving in together.
Max watched as Liz enjoyed herself with her family and friends. “Well, I’m going to grab Liz so I can talk to her alone for a minute.” He said as he stood up. All the guys knew what Max was up to and nodded in acknowledgement. He walked over and pulled Liz away from the girls. “Can I talk to you upstairs?”
Liz looked at him curiously but agreed, “Sure but why?”
He leaned over to whisper in her ear. “It’s a surprise.”
He gave a coy half smile before he grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs to her room. He crawled through her window and bent down to help her out. He snapped his fingers and Liz could see that her balcony was covered with candles and white roses. “What’s this Max?”
Max just pulled her to the center of the balcony. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently. “Liz, I’ve loved you since the first day I saw you when we were eight years old. I never thought you would be able to accept what I am but you did. You fell in love with me despite it and all the danger that came with it. You risked exposing your own existence to help us against the FBI. When a future version of me came to you and asked you to give up your happiness, you did it because you loved me. You saved us from Tess even when you thought I had betrayed our love. You gave me another chance which I didn’t deserve. You gave me my first kiss, were my first girlfriend, as well as my first and only lover. You’re my everything, and I want to be with you forever.” He opened the small jewelry box and asked, “Will you marry me?”
Liz’s vision was blurred by unshed tears. She cupped his face in her hands and pulled him. “I love you, too.” She said softly before kissing him.
When Liz tried to deepen the kiss, Max pulled back. “I guess that’s a ‘yes’?”
“YES!” Liz yelled.
Max picked her up and spun her around, “We’re getting married!”
Liz laughed at his antics and kissed him again. He stopped spinning and kissed her deeply. They both broke apart when Max needed oxygen. Liz grabbed his hand and started pulling him to the window. She waved her hand to extinguish the candles and said, “Let’s go tell everyone.”
Max smiled as she drug him back through her window. Max hurried to keep up with her as they ran downstairs. She stopped suddenly at the door to the restaurant and they collided into each other. They went crashing through the door laughing. They made so much noise that everyone stared at them.
“What’s going on chica?” Maria asked curiously.
Liz and Max looked at each other before turning to their loved ones and said in unison, “We’re getting married.”
Part 2:
“We’re getting married.”
“Oh my God.” Syl squealed as she grabbed her baby sister into a big hug. She then hugged Max as Liz's other sister's and the other girls hugged the couple. Isabel and Maria smacked Max on the back of his head for not telling them beforehand. Their parents along with Jim and Amy were the next ones. If Max and Liz were normal kids their parents would be apprehensive about them marrying so young but they weren’t normal. They had had to grow up faster and had been through more than most people three times their age.
Once she was released from her parents she made her way over to her brothers. She expected them to be upset or say she was too young. She was waiting for some type of comment from them but found them all sitting there not surprised at all. “You guys knew?”
They all looked up sheepishly. “Well Max might have said something to us about it earlier.” Josh said.
Liz put her hand on her hips, “You mean he asked your permission for ME to marry him?”
The six guys looked at each other and tried to decide the best way to cover both their and Max’s asses. Max had indeed asked their permission to marry their sister but they weren’t about to tell her that. She’d skin all of them alive if they told her.
“No, just told us.” Krit interjected.
“Yeah, Max knows he wouldn’t have to ask us if you wanted to marry him.” Jack said uneasily.
“Wouldn’t make a difference if he did. You never listen to us about Max anyway.” Zack joked. Things between Max and Liz’s brothers had gotten better since he hadn’t hurt her anymore. And after Zack told them that he had been willingly to give himself to Kivar in exchange for her, they had really liked him. Zack got up and hugged her, “Congratulations.” The other boys followed suit as well as Michael and Logan. The party started winding down shortly after and all of the parents left so that the younger people could visit. They cleaned up everything before saying goodnight.
They all sat around catching up and talking about wedding plans when the chimes above the door went off. They all turned to see Brody make his way in. Liz got off of Max’s lap and went to greet his boss, “Hey Brody. What are you doing here so late?”
“It’s Larek, Max. We need to talk alone.”
Michael, Isabel, Ava, and Maria all sat up straighter at the mention of the alien’s name.
“Who’s Larek?” Krit asked.
“A friend of Max’s from Antar.” Ava explained. All of the X5s and Logan knew all about the aliens and their history.
“It’s safe to talk here. They’re all trusted family.” Larek nodded. Max went to shake his hand and said, “It’s been awhile, Larek.”
“Yes, it has. You’ve been busy. I hear you sent Kivar’s body through his own portal and delivered it to his men.”
“I threw his body into the portal but I didn’t know where it went. We would have sent Nicholas too but we couldn’t gather all the flakes up.”
“So you took care of Nicholas as well?”
“Liz took care of him. He didn’t stand a chance.” He looked down at his fiancée with pride.
Larek turned his attention to the small brunette next to Max and smiled, “I’m impressed. Nicholas was very powerful.”
“It was nothing.” Liz said blushing at the attention.
“Not that I don’t enjoy the visit but why are you here?” Max asked.
“With Kivar dead, we finally were able to overtake most of his men and end the war. I was sent to tell you it is time. Time to return home, to Antar.”
Part 3:
“I was sent to tell you it is time. Time to return home, to Antar.”
Silence engulfed the café. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. The X5s not living in Roswell looked at their siblings that did to gauge their reactions. They knew the announcement would hit them hard especially Liz.
Isabel was the first to speak, “We can’t go. We have lives here and we can’t just leave.”
“Vilandra….” Larek started.
“Don’t call me that! My name is Isabel.” She snapped.
“Calm down, Izzy.” Kyle said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
Max waited for Isabel to calm down before he said; “Now Isabel is right. We do have lives here and we need to settle things before any of us leave. If you decide to leave.”
“Max, there is no decision here.” Larek stated.
“I know I have to go back but I’m not going to force anyone else to go.” Max said firmly. Larek could see that Max was dead set in his answer. “Whoever is leaving, we’ll go in ten days. That should give us enough time to get things sorted. Contact me a day before and I’ll let you know how many of us are going. Are we going by ship or by the portal?”
“The portal is faster. On the agreed day we’ll turn it’s energy source back on and you will activate the portal. It will deliver you to a small room off of the throne room. Once you are all through you will proceed to the throne room where a small group of people including your mother and myself will be waiting. Rath and Tess’s families will be there as well.”
“Our names are Michael and Ava.” Michael butted in.
Larek nodded. “Max will have to go through another test like the one with the emissary at the summit. Now I must be going. I only prepared this body for a short visit.”
Max nodded and walked him to the door. Before he could leave Max lowered his voice and said; “I need to ask you something else. Would it be possible for humans to accompany us?”
“You mean Liz?”
“Not just Liz but the other ones we’re involved with too. “
“Yes, our planet won’t harm them. Your human mates can join you and suffer from no ill effects. They can live in the palace.”
“Good, I love Liz and am planning to marry her. I know I’m supposed to be married to Ava but we’re more like siblings than anything. It won’t cause any problems will it? We won’t be expected to be married on Antar will we?”
“No, you won’t be. The people know you won’t be the same as before so you won’t be judge as that. They’ll look upon you more as they would King Zan’s son rather than King Zan himself. You’ll find the people are open minded.”
“Open minded enough to except a human as their queen?” ‘Even if she isn’t a normal human. ’ Max thought. He didn’t think he should mention anything about Liz until he talked to her to see if she wanted to go.
“Yes. They’ll base their opinions on what type of person she is rather than what planet she’s from. Knowing that she is responsible for ridding us of Nicholas will definitely work in her favor. It will show she is a strong person.”
“She is definitely that. I doubt Antar has ever had a queen like her.” Max smiled. “I hope the people will be as open minded with Isabel too if she comes back.” Max stated. He knew how scared his sister was that people would look at her differently if they knew about her past.
“Why wouldn’t they? Vil….um Isabel was always loved by the people even if she wasn’t always warm with them.”
“Since she betrayed me to Kivar.”
“She didn’t willingly betray you Max. She fell in love with Kivar and he loved her. But he used her to gain knowledge about you and then used it to kill you.”
“So Isabel didn’t actually betray me?”
“No, she didn’t.”
“Lonnie, Isabel’s duplicate betrayed her brother and she’s been scared that she’d do the same.”
“The second set of the royal four were defective. Something happened and the set was made almost completely emotionless. I really must go. I’ll meet you at the UFO Center on the appointed day.”
“Goodbye Larek.” Max locked the door after him and turned towards the others. “I think we need time to absorb all this before we talk about it. Why don’t we meet tomorrow and talk? There are a couple things we need to discuss.”
“We can meet at my apartment.” Michael offered.
When the time of the meeting was set, Liz said, “It’s been a busy day and a long night. If you wouldn’t mind, let’s call it a night.”
Everyone got up and ready to leave. All of the boys were staying at Zack’s while the girls and Logan were staying at a hotel. Liz said goodnight to all of them and turned to head up to her parent’s apartment. She stopped at Max’s voice. “Liz, we need to talk.”
Liz pulled away from him and said, “I know and we will. But I can’t right now.”
“Liz..”
“Max, please. Pick me up in the morning for the meeting and we’ll talk then.” She kissed him on the cheek and left quickly.
Max moved to follow but Zack stopped him. “Max, don’t. She needs some time.”
“This doesn’t change anything. I love her and I still want to marry her.”
“But it does change things. Maybe not your love for her but it does affect both of your lives and your plans for the future.”
“I don’t want her sitting up there keeping everything bottled up.”
“You’re right she does need to talk to someone but I don’t think it should be any of the seven of us. We’re too close to the situation. I’ll ask Maxie to talk to her.” Max nodded and Zack motioned to his sister. Max made her way over to them.
“I need you to do us a favor.” Zack asked.
“Let me guess. You want me to talk to Liz?” She asked.
“We want to make sure she’s okay and she needs to talk to someone.” Max explained.
“Okay, let me tell Logan.”
“Wait. Here are the keys to my bike. I’ll leave it here so that you’ll have a way to get back to the hotel since I know you and Logan only have one car. I’ll get it tomorrow.” Max took Zack’s keys and told Logan what was going on before heading upstairs.
She made her way through the apartment and back to Liz’s room. As she entered her little sister’s room she could see that she wasn’t there. Thinking she might be out on her balcony Max climbed through the window to find it empty too except for the roses from earlier. She gazed at them sadly before hearing a motorcycle engine starting up. She looked over the edge and saw her sister heading down the alley on her bike. Max climbed down the ladder quickly and started Zack’s bike. She set out to follow her hoping that she could help her.
Part 4:
Liz hurried upstairs to be alone. She knew she was being selfish but she needed to think. When she reached her room she decided she couldn’t stay there. She pulled her dress over her head and hung it up. She changed into a pair of black jeans and black tank top. She grabbed her keys and black leather jacket and headed out to her balcony and down the ladder. Zack and Kyle had bought her a black Isuzu 900. Liz figured Zack was getting sick of her borrowing his or Michael’s bike all of the time. Deciding she needed to feel the wind in her hair as she drove she just put on her riding glasses and started the bike. She drove through the streets of Roswell and headed to the desert.
She drove for awhile before reaching the destination she didn’t even know she was heading to. She parked the bike and started heading up the cliff face. She sat down when she reached the ledge. She looked up at the V constellation that housed Max’s planet and thought about her night. She was supposed to be happy and celebrating her engagement to Max instead all she could think about was that she was going to lose him. She was so caught up in her depression that she didn’t even hear someone else arrive until they started climbing up the cliff face to her.
Her enhanced night vision allowed her to easily see her visitor “Maxi, what are you doing here?”
Max plopped down next to her solemn sister and said, “Just wanted to see how you were.”
“Translation: Zack or Max were worried and sent you after me.”
Max smiled at how well Liz knew their brother and her boyfriend. “Both of them actually. I wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
“Just felt like going for a ride. I felt too confined in my room.”
“I know what you mean. I like to take off on my bike when I need to clear my head.” She looked around at the rock formation and the openness of the sky. “But I must admit that even from the top of the space needle, I don’t see this many stars.”
Liz looked around and appreciated the view. “I’ve never actually been here at night. I was thinking about losing Max and my bike just kind of stirred its way here.”
“What is this place?”
“This is the rock formation that housed the pod chamber. Come on, I’ll show you.” Liz stood up and pulled her sister’s arm over to the entrance. She waved her hand and a silver handprint appeared. She placed her hand on it and the door opened.
Max whistled, “Cool. That is one serious security system.”
Liz went in the door and looked around. She hadn’t been in here since the day she stopped Max from leaving by telling him the truth about Tess killing Alex. The pods no longer glowed and they looked damaged from the granolith when it blasted off. She turned when she heard her sister gasp. “I know you said they came out of pods but I never imagined this.”
“It was in this very room that I found out for the first time about the whole alien royalty um thing.” Liz couldn’t even say the word destiny. “I thought I lost him for good that day.”
“But you didn’t and you don’t know if you will now. You haven’t talked to him yet.”
“You heard him. He has to go back. I understand and I knew it would happen someday. His people need him and he’s too responsible of a person to not do his duty.” Liz stated disheartedly.
“If I know Max he’ll probably find a way to take you with him.”
Liz headed for the door and waited for her sister to follow before she shut it. She gazed up at the sky and then towards the lights of Roswell. “It would mean leaving my home, my family. For ten years, I wanted to find you guys. I’ve only had you all back for a year and I don’t know if I can just give up my siblings.”
“None of us would be mad at you if you went. We know how much you love Max. Hell if all you have to do is walk through a portal, maybe you can come visit. Kyle and Zack might go along too.” She could see the indecision on Liz’s face. “In the year that I’ve known Max and seen you two together, I couldn’t imagine any one being more perfect for my baby sister. If we were still running from Manticore, I know Max would leave town with you if you needed to.”
“If I was to go, could I do what would be expected of me? I would be Queen, I wouldn’t have any idea what I was doing.” She said worriedly.
Max smiled at her sister’s modesty. “Liz, you would be the perfect queen. You’re kind, considerate of other people, smart, the list goes on. You could even use all of that military training and crap Manticore used to drill into us to help Max and Michael. Talk to him. See what he says. Don’t worry about losing him until you know you’re going to.”
“Alright, I’ll talk to him.”
“Good. Just think if you go to Antar and become Queen, those Antarians won’t know what hit them.”
Part 5:
Liz killed her bike engine after she parked in the Evan’s driveway. Her sister and her had stayed out in the desert talking until just after sunrise. Max, Liz, and Jondy were the only three siblings that could go for a couple of weeks without sleep so neither girl minded being up all night. Although Liz did notice that Max looked a little tired but she had assured Liz that it was nothing. After Liz left she’d gone home and spoke to her parents. They were both up to open the café and she told them that she needed to talk to them after closing. She had headed upstairs to tell Ava that she’d see her over at Michael’s only to find a note saying she had gone to Zack’s. Liz knew that the two of them needed to talk as much as her and Max and hoped that the extra guests of her brothers didn’t hamper that.
Even though it was early she could see that the Evan’s had already left. She remembered Diane saying something about needing to head over to Clovis to deal with a client and would be gone most of the day. Liz walked around to the side of the house to Max’s window and looked in. Through the panes she could see he was still asleep. Using her powers, she unlocked the window and made her way inside quietly. The moment she did Max’s scent hit her nose. She loved being in his room, she always smelled Max around her and it was comforting. She walked over to the door and locked it with her powers so Isabel wouldn’t come in. She had gotten better at knocking but still came in at inopportune times. Liz had been lucky and never walked in on her and Kyle like Max had. The one time she’d seen Kyle with Vicky Delaney outside of the soap factory the night she’d been arrested had been more than she ever wanted to see of her brother’s sex life.
She walked back over to the foot of his bed and looked down at the man she loved. There were times that she couldn’t believe how lucky she was to find someone who loved her and understood her life. She felt sometimes like she was dreaming and she would wake up and be back in her cell at Manticore. She still had dreams and nightmares about when they were back there, as she was sure that her siblings did. But they had eased up in the last couple of years especially when she slept in the arms of the alien that laid before her. He was sleeping on his back and had one arm thrown over his eyes to shield them from the sun. Sometime during the night he had kicked off the covers and it gave Liz a full view of his body that was clad in only boxers. As she looked over the hard contours of his chest, she caught sight of the silver gleam of the nipple ring Liz and Ava had dared him to get.
A few months back everyone but Kyle and Isabel had been lounging around Zack’s apartment when Maria asked Ava to show her how to pierce her bellybutton using her powers. Maria wasn’t a big one for pain and Liz had told her that when Ava had used her powers it hadn’t hurt a bit. They showed her, pretty soon Maria’s navel was pierced, and both girls had five more holes a piece in each ear. The guys had watched interested and shortly after Max had one hole in his ear while Michael had two. Zack wouldn’t do any, claiming he had had enough stuff jammed into him at Manticore. That was when Ava and Liz had dared Max to get the nipple ring, which he finally did. He kept it only because Liz said he looked extremely sexy with it. Ava then showed them how to do tattoos, which both guys took to. Michael had ‘Spaceboy’ on his right bicep while Max had the whirlwind symbol on his left bicep and Liz’s name in English as well as Antarian, which they had learned how to write from the destiny book translation, on one of his shoulders. Michael picked Maria’s tattoo, which was a small cedar tree on her shoulder. Liz and Zack both declined on the tattoos. Although they didn’t mind tattoos on the others, tattoos on them reminded them too much of their barcodes. They no longer hated their barcodes as they once did; instead it was a way to show their uniqueness.
After all the events of the previous night, Liz wanted to be close to him, needed to be close to him. She kicked off her shoes and crawled up the bed to straddle him. She leaned over and began to gently kiss him awake. Max came out of sleep slowly not knowing if the kiss was a dream or real. He opened his mouth to ask when Liz used it to her advantage to deepen the kiss. After they had thoroughly explored each other’s mouths Max pulled away to look at Liz with concern. “Liz?”
“Make love to me, Max.” Liz sat up, grabbed the hem of her tank top and pulled it over her head tossing it on the floor.
Liz hadn’t worn a bra and Max felt himself harden at the sight of her bare breasts. He flipped her over so she was on her back and captured her mouth with his and kissed her fiercely. He worked his lips down the side of her neck then down to her breasts. He was only there for a minute when she started pushing his boxers down.
“Please, I need you now.” She begged.
Max helped her of her pants and making sure she was protected, they joined quickly. Because of so many differences in Liz’s blood from being an X5, and changed she couldn’t go on the pill so they had to use condoms. Max could see how much desire and need were in her eyes and thrusted into her quickly. She moved fast and hard and before long they were both going over the edge.
Max used his powers over them to erase the evidence then collapsed next to her trying to catch his breath. He could tell by her urgency that she was still upset about Larek’s visit last night and had needed their lovemaking to comfort her. She usually like them to go slow and explore each other bodies completely before joining. She was only like this when she was upset or in heat and her heat wasn’t for at least another two months. She had only gone into heat once in the five months or so since they had started sleeping together and it had been an interesting two days. Liz’s parents asked Ava to keep an eye on Liz because they had to go out of town. Instead Liz talked Ava into staying at Zack’s and they had the run of the apartment. Of course Kyle and Zack didn’t know that Liz was in heat or they would have broken up the couple’s rendezvous. Max had come home very sated but completely exhausted. He had slept for twelve straight hours after and had to heal several areas of his body that had claw or bite marks on it.
As she listened to Max trying to catch his breath, she realized that she had basically thrown herself at him. “I just needed to be with you.” Liz said.
“Did you hear me complaining?” Max joked. He leaned on his elbow and looked at her.
“No, I guess most men wouldn’t mind a girl sneaking into their room to seduce them.” Liz laughed softly.
Max laughed with her but turned serious quickly. “Liz, we need to talk. There’s a couple things Larek told me last night that you should know.”
Liz took a deep breath and prepared herself for whatever Max was about to say. “What is it?”
“Larek said you could go with us if you wanted. We can get married on Antar. I want to rule with you beside me as my queen. I hate to ask you to give up your life here but I want you to go with me. Will you go?” He said pleadingly.
“Max, I told you last night that I would marry you. Doing that meant that I agreed to be with you through everything including going to Antar if you wanted me to.”
“Thank you. I know how hard this is for you but I can’t imagine doing this without you. You bring me more strength than you realize.” Max smiled and kissed her softly. “And I’ll do whatever I can to try and make it easier for you.”
They laid in bed enjoying each other’s company and discussed everything that needed to be done.
