He says I’m his mate. I say he’s an animal. And to that he just says…”Roar!” Our ship crash landed on an alien planet and for the last three months the surviving humans have been living with alien brutes known as the Drokan. One of these cave-dwelling alien savages seems to think I’m his fated mate. He’s got the horns, the swagger, and a pack of seriously redonk abs. I want to resist just how good this alien beast looks. If I give him any lip, he just lifts me up and throws me over his shoulder to take me where he wants us to go. He’s brave, courageous, and willing to fight for me. He fights anyone that tries to mess with me. He hunts and keeps me fed. At night he keeps me warm. Then at night…in front of the fire, I wiggle up against him. And that’s when the real fun begins. What can I say? He may be an animal…. But this cave beast knows how to bring out the woman in me. Pet For The Primal is the first book within the Mates of the Precursors series set in the Athenaverse. It follows the stories of the Precursors and can be read as a standalone, but it shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. This book features a romance of an alpha male alien warrior, a smart, sassy human woman. No cheating and HEA guaranteed!

The only thing standing between me and death is a giant, horned, caveman alien. He’s promised to protect me from the evil Skuut. He told me so before he bashed in the skull of a bunch of them that were trying to eat me. I’ve always been rather shy, so it's been sorta surreal. We were never supposed to be on this planet. We crash landed and there was no way to get help. This warrior race of cave aliens have been our protectors. In return, sometimes one of us catches their eye. Something happens in their brains and they start calling one of us their jalshagar. It means that woman is that alien’s fated mate. Let me tell you, that woman's life changes forever. All of a sudden, they protect you. They don’t let you carry anything. Hell, they may even carry you! They hunt for you and feed you. Then they love you for a looooong time. By the time they’re done with all that, forget getting rescued. You'll wanna stay here forever!

Leave it to Ayric to realize that I’m his fated mate while bashing in heads in battle. I mean, I get it. I really do. Ayric is a big, knuckle dragging, alpha male caveman alien. He’s got giant horns on his head and even bigger muscles on his body. I wouldn’t mind being fated to mate with him. Especially when his muscles are glistening in the sun. Never mind that he’s fighting to protect me and the other fellow humans that crash landed on his planet. It’s all I can do to wait till Ayric beats everyone down and claims me as his. He’ll hunt me food to cook for him. He’ll lay out his bedroll and I’ll keep him company under the stars. Some of my people say we’ve crashed and we’re trying to survive on a hostile planet. But with Ayric? I’m living my best life! If I don’t die, that is.
