Sarazen's Vengeance: Book 1.1 Read Online Free PDF

why? Why am I anxious and close to a full blown panic attack to not be with someone I barely know? No offense,” she murmured as an afterthought to Ohlen. He smiled at her gently and assured her none was taken.
    Ga’rae grunted again. Seemingly using that as his main form of communication. Or maybe a pause in between thoughts?
    “If you were a Sarazen by birth and gifted with a beast of your own, I would say that it is completely normal. Nature’s way of ensuring a mated pair remains together long enough to form a bond and create offspring. As you and the others are not Sarazen by birth, I can only say that it is the pheromones we produce for our mates affecting you. The primal part of your brain reacting as it associates health, home, and safety with that of your mate. Reacting positively to his presence and negatively to his absence. I predict that once actual mating occurs, this feeling will diminish.”
    It had certainly felt negative to not be with Ohlen. She struggled to accept that it was Ohlen’s pheromones that made her feel safe and calm around him, rather than his actual person. Andi thought hard about it while he picked her up off the table and guided her out.
     
    They walked quietly together through the white halls and Andi definitely felt safe with him. Which was a contradiction to every survival instinct she’d honed over the last five years.
    Ohlen was terrifyingly big. Terrifyingly strong. If he chose to take her against her will or hurt her, there would be no fighting back.
    Andi tried to reason with herself as to why she felt so safe with him. Knowing, having seen firsthand, how easily it would be for Ohlen to turn on her. He could shape shift into a four-legged creature capable of shredding a human body into so much meat. With claws that resembled black knives.
    On the other hand, as terrible as it sounded, having witnessed him take such brutal action on her behalf had endeared him to her like nothing else could have. The beast had claimed blood for her. Claimed vengeance. Then not long later that same beast had curled up around her in bed. Hugged her between those massive paws of his and purred tenderly for her until she’d slept. It was almost too much to take in.
    “Andi?”
    She blinked at the gentle touch of Ohlen’s fingertips on her jaw. She hadn’t noticed they had come to a stop in the hallway. Andi had totally spaced out on him. He looked down at her with concern plain in his eyes. She felt herself flushing with embarrassment.
    “Sorry, thinking.”
    Ohlen nodded. Lifted his head towards the door to her left . “I would like to show you something if you are amenable.”
    He was so polite and courteous. So caring. She noticed him hesitating every now and then. Pausing thoughtfully before he made any sort of movement. Checking his body language to ensure she wouldn’t be surprised enough to withdraw. Ohlen managed to put her at ease by being observant and deliberate in everything he did or said. Taking care of her beyond the norm.
    Maybe she didn’t need to over think this. “Of course.”
    His full lips kicked up at the edges. His eyes bright with a nearly boyish sort of eagerness . Ohlen waved his hand over the door led her inside.
    A large, warrior sized padded table dominated the otherwise empty room. She hugged herself a little tighter than she needed to, uncertain about what was going on. What this room was used for. It wasn’t as big as his cabin, perhaps half that size. Like most things on board it was a sterile white. Idly she wondered who the hell cleaned the ship and kept it so startlingly white. He shifted to touch the unit on his wrist. A few taps of his fingertips and the white walls disappeared to display a forest.
    A warm gust of air moved across Andi’s cheek. Startled, she reached up to touch her face. It had come from the wall to her left. She knew it was a wall, though now it seemed to be endlessly filled with trees. Trees with pale gold trunks and a wealth of
