Alien Beloved

***

The former starship doctor Onelia was every day in the

intoxicating euphoria of family happiness with her beloved

ancient vampire Adivaris living with him in a huge tower. She

met that incredibly handsome longhaired blond on board

before landing on exoplanet Xantary and fell head over heels

in love with him.

A big muscular man with cubes on his abs and a

courageous, as if from a fairy tale, and even with wings. You

can freak out! What if he's a vampire? It's okay and love with

him is so sweet!

He immediately noticed her impressions and seduced

after a couple of days in her bedroom of settlers's house.

Then he divorced his wife Luanlia and now she is a full

lady in the tower of the Supreme Archon of Illuria.

At first everything was wonderful: intoxicating nights in

bliss and love frenzy, but she noticed some oddities - the

guests began to drop by too often. The aristocrats sat for a

long time in the chambers of the Archon, talking on various

topics, and excitedly glanced at the new mistress of the tower,

trying to call her to a conversation.

She, accustomed to the dazzling beauty of the winged

ones, did not hesitate to sit down next to them in a luxurious

long dress and willingly kept up the conversation.

One day, she nevertheless guessed from their inviting

glances and unambiguous phrases that the syrinxes are not

just located in the living room, but are waiting for her to flirt

back.

She then called her husband to a conversation:

"What's going on with your friends? They frankly flirt with

me, and it's like you don't care that your wife is so shamelessly

trying to seduce."

"It's their nature to behave like that, there's nothing to be

done," Adivaris emphasised. "Pay no attention and talk

calmly. We used to hide our wives from friends, but now there

are new orders. Our society is polyamorous and every

aristocrat has the right to seek the attention of a royal person.

My close friends cannot be dismissed so easily, despite the

fact that I am the Archon and can command the entire

community, and even then I have no right to forbid them from

communicating with you."

"You didn't warn me that your friends would try to seduce

me," Onelia was indignant.

"You must have two husbands, you need to choose

someone else, so they come in the hope of winning your

heart."

"But I don't need another husband!"

Adivaris stared into her eyes.

"I don't want to share you with my friend either, but I can't

argue with our Overlord Rohen. By the way, despite his status,

he is not the only husband of his wife. And in general, he also

has other partners. You will have to get used to the idea of

polyamory, no matter how strange it may be to you."

"Can I ask the Overlord to relax the rules for the Supreme

Archon's wife?" Onelia asked.

"He won't make exceptions for you. I'm the only one doing

these kinds of conversations."

"Why doesn't anyone touch our captain Rianka then? She

has neither a husband nor a lover. Quietly lives alone and does

not suffer from an abundance of admirers."

"She is the chosen one of Rohen, and he personally takes

care of her upbringing. It's none of our business!" Said strictly

Adivaris.

"Yes, she is in love with him," Onelia frowned. "I didn't

know she was under his care. Ah, poor thing Denris still

suffers from it."

"Well, is he?" Adivaris exclaimed indignantly. "Which of

the princesses would squeeze me as much as him. Lucky one!

Always at the feet of the Queen, who endowed him with

dazzling beauty and magic. Found someone to pity! Rebel! He

does not like the sweet life."

"He doesn't need all this, he told me," Onelia explained

sadly. "Let me talk to Rohen, I'm not happy with this fate - to

be the center of attention of anxious men."

Adivaris gave her a worried look and disappeared.

She nervously waited for her husband in the living room

and looked with displeasure at Palian who entered. Similar to

her husband but thinner in build, this vampire greeted her

with a businesslike look and sat down opposite her in a chair,

sparkling with transparent green eyes.

"I don't know when your brother will return," Onelia

shook her head.

"I'll wait for him and talk to you," Palien drawled

affectionately with a sly smile.

"I can't get used to the way you all talk to me, as if you

want to eat me," Onelia said indignantly.

"Well, well," the tempter chuckled. "I will pretend that I

am not interested in you, although it is difficult to hide it."

"Yes, I know something about you: you are a heartthrob

and a seducer."

"Oh, who told you that about me? First of all, I am a

serviceman in the military, former commander of Xantarian

fleet, I spent my whole life in combat battles and interstellar

wanderings. High responsibility and duty to my race on the

verge of life and death have always been my priorities. And,

of course, I have had many women for a thousand years, as

well as your dear husband, he, for sure, admitted this to you."

"You are married?"

"Not so lucky," Palien said reluctantly. "I know how to ruin

relationships with lovers. Can you take me as your husband?

I would be glad."

He laughed fervently, looking at Onelia's frightened face.

"I'm not joking," Palien became serious.

"No, thanks!"

"Do you like any of our friends?"

"I have enough of Adivaris."

"I understand, so magical with him."

They stood for a long time in awkward silence. Onelia

could not think of anything how to get rid of communication

with her husband's brother, who did not take his sparkling

eyes off her.

"I know you like me physically," he whispered. "It's hard

to hide even deep thoughts from me."

"This does not mean at all that I want to communicate

with you closely," Onelia answered irritably.

"I will often loom before your eyes."

His seductive smile angered Onelia.

"Your stubbornness will turn me on more and more every

day, and you know what will happen? I will not leave you, and

you will be mine!"

"I'll complain about you."

Palian mockingly replied:

"What are you, dear, he will not be against my courtship

at all. He even allowed me to touch his precious Luanlia when

I met her. She did not even have time to come to her senses,

as she ended up in my arms."

"You won't succeed with me, don't expect to win. Why

such confidence?"

"None escaped my passion, even those who hated me

submitted to me. Your words that I am a luxurious man. I

heard that phrase from you to your friend. It is so in every

sense."

"There are many other women, why should I be

pestered?"

"Your vibrations haunt me," Palien's eyes flashed brightly.

"And your stubbornness turns me on even more."

Adivaris suddenly appeared and looked inquiringly at his

wife and brother.

"Have you both already had a fight?" The Archon

grumbled and turned to Onelia:

"Rohen is adamant, dear, and if you do not choose another

husband, you will not be allowed to go into the world of fire

to gain magic."

"Okay, I agree to such a restriction," Onelia nodded her

head.

Palian threw a puzzled look at her and said:

"You don't know what you're giving up, you stubborn one.

What is the meaning of eternal life without magical powers?

You will always be defenseless against any mage. And yet

someone will seduce you anyway. There was no point in

upsetting our Overlord by refusing to follow the general rules

of society."

"He's right, dear," whispered Adivaris, hugging his wife. "I

won't always be able to be with you. Magicians are very

creative and will find a way to enchant you. Vampires are

difficult to control, there are a lot of them, and among them

there are also likorns - invisible ones that penetrate other

person's bedrooms."

He looked back at his brother and added:

"Palien will help you acquire magic, you refuse in vain. All

for your safety."

Onelia threw her husband's hands away indignantly and

ran out of the living room with tears in her eyes.

"Silly thing! I wonder where she's going? There is

nowhere to run."

"I will follow her," Palien jumped up from his chair. "Until

she was targeted by hungry vampires. They quickly discover

that she is running around the city unguarded."

"She's headed for the settlers' tower, she thinks it's safe

there. Follow her unnoticed, don't let anyone get close, and I'll

be there."
