Taken: Alien Commander's Captive

All enemies of the Empire must die. But not her, she is mine to claim...
JAYNE: I've dedicated my life to defending clients against injustice, but the imposing alien male that's captured me doesn’t believe in innocent until proven guilty. All Commander Rexitor cares about is his precious Empire and I'm its biggest threat.
This alien is going to make sure I pay for my crime. Haalux justice is swift and brutal, just like him. But I believe in justice and I'm prepared to do anything to survive, even if it means defying him or the Empire.
But the one thing I'm not going to do is ask for his help, because what I see in his eyes means I'm going to have to give up far more that I bargained for if I do.
REXITOR: I didn't want anything to do with the criminal. She says she's innocent, but so do all the rest. She insists she understands justice, but what could a human know of justice?
The evidence speaks for itself - she's the killer. Jayne faces execution, and I'll lose the soft curves and quiet voice that calls to my primal side in a way I never thought possible.
Marked Haalux warriors like me don’t deserve a mate, I accepted that.
But she's here and destined to be destroyed in front of me. Unless I claim her first.
