Heir With His Horns by Athena Storm

I walked into that dive bar looking for a drink, not a mate.

One look at her behind the counter—smart mouth, dangerous curves, zero fear—and my blood caught fire. I took what she offered in the storage room: raw, filthy, no promises. Then the war ripped me away.
She never knew I read every message she sent.
She never knew I carried her scent through every battlefield like a brand.
Now I’m back on Barrakus, and the tiny crimson-scaled boy with my golden eyes and her fire is staring up at me like I hung the stars.
Alaina thinks she can keep my heir a secret.
She thinks one night was all we were.
Wrong.
I’m not the man who left. I’m the Vakutan who survived hell to claim what’s mine—her body, her heart, and the son she raised without me.
She can run that pretty mouth all she wants.
I’m never ghosting again.
And this time? I’m not asking.

Read on for secret alien baby, possessive Vakutan daddy, war-torn second chance, size-gap obsession, and a red-scaled warrior who’ll burn galaxies to keep his family. HEA guaranteed!
