Introduction
Trapped in a land of strange customs and ruthless power, Maya refuses to submit, even if it means challenging the alien prince himself. Her defiance only fans the flames of Kai’s fascination, but his duty comes first—or so he tells himself. Yet, as tensions rise and hidden dangers close in, they’re forced to trust each other to survive.
Now, Kai must make an impossible choice: cling to a legacy he was born into or risk it all for a love that could unite two worlds—or doom them both.
Heart of the Alien Prince is an unforgettable journey through forbidden romance, betrayal, and the power of destiny.
Chapter 1
The sky was dark, a heavy slate of swirling clouds punctuated by the occasional spark of distant stars. Kai paced along the cliff edge, his gaze fixed on the horizon, where the faint glow of their capital’s lights struggled to pierce the dense atmosphere. The quiet hum of his comm-device at his wrist was the only sound in the empty vastness.
He’d been summoned here—no, more than that. Commanded by the Council of Elders, who had decided his future without consulting him. It was always the way of the Council, dictating every step, every choice, while he was expected to follow in the footsteps of rulers before him. His chest tightened with resentment, but he pushed it down. He had been trained for control. Duty above all.
Yet as Kai stared into the distance, the whispers of discontent from his people echoed in his mind, louder than the Council’s words. His planet was under threat, resources dwindling, and the peace they once knew fraying at the edges. The Council claimed they could only be saved by tradition—the blood bond, the marriage that would seal alliances and renew the throne. But Kai had seen the future they offered him, the empty gaze of a chosen queen bound only by obligation. And it left him cold.
His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden vibration in the air. The soft hum grew louder, the sound of an approaching craft slicing through the night. Kai’s jaw clenched as he realized it was headed toward the cliffs, veering sharply, almost as if it were out of control.
The craft dipped and bucked wildly, flames flickering along its hull as it scraped against the rock face. Before Kai could react, it careened downward in a spiral, hitting the ground with a deafening crash that reverberated through his bones.
He bolted down the jagged slope, his boots skidding against the loose gravel. A thin line of smoke rose from the wreckage as he approached, hands instinctively reaching for the weapon at his side. The hatch hissed open, and through the mist and debris, he caught sight of a figure—a human, slumped over in the pilot’s seat.
Kai’s eyes narrowed. Humans were rare on his planet, and no one ever came here willingly. He knew well enough how his people treated human arrivals, often selling them or using them as pawns in the alien cities. This woman would be no different. He should turn her in; it was protocol, and he couldn’t afford to make exceptions.
Yet, something about her stopped him.
The human stirred, groaning softly as she tried to lift herself from the wreckage. Kai took a step closer, his gaze tracing the dirt-streaked face and tangled hair of the woman in front of him. She was surprisingly resilient, struggling to pull herself free from the tangled cords and broken metal.
He bent down, his voice low and firm. “Don’t move. You’re injured.”
She jolted at his voice, her eyes snapping open with a mixture of confusion and defiance. The gaze she leveled at him was fierce, full of fire, and completely unafraid. “And who… are you?” Her voice was shaky, yet somehow filled with challenge.
“I’m the one keeping you alive right now.” He reached forward, intending to pull her from the seat, but she jerked back.
“Don’t touch me!” she snapped, her eyes flashing despite the obvious pain in her movements. “I can manage.”
Kai raised an eyebrow, surprised by her tenacity. “You’ve just crash-landed on a hostile planet. You need help.”
She glared at him, chin tilted defiantly. “If it’s so hostile, why would you bother helping me?”
He found himself at a loss for words, something that didn’t often happen. His fingers clenched involuntarily. “I have my reasons,” he said, his tone sharper than he intended.
“Great answer,” she muttered sarcastically. But before she could protest further, her body swayed, and he caught her just as she was about to collapse.
Ignoring her mumbled protests, Kai lifted her, cradling her against his chest as he began the trek back up the cliffs. She was lighter than he’d expected, her weight barely noticeable, though she fought against him with the little strength she had left.
“Put me down,” she gasped, her voice weakening.
“Save your strength,” he replied evenly, not slowing his pace. “You’ll need it.”
His thoughts churned as he carried her. Bringing a human into the palace was forbidden, a breach of everything he’d been taught. Yet, he knew his people were nearing their breaking point. Hunger and dissatisfaction grew by the day. And deep down, he sensed this human might be the only person in years who would look at him without expectation, without the weight of royal obligation. She was a stranger in every sense, and he found an odd sense of relief in that.
As they neared the hidden entrance to his quarters, she stirred again, her voice barely a whisper. “I didn’t ask for this,” she muttered, her words tinged with exhaustion. “I didn’t want to be here.”
Kai glanced down at her, intrigued by the hint of vulnerability in her tone. There was more to her than he’d initially thought. She wasn’t here by choice—something, or someone, had driven her to this planet. And as much as he didn’t want to admit it, he was curious about what could bring a human this far from her own world.
Once inside his chambers, he gently laid her on the low platform bed, which adjusted to her form immediately. He stepped back, his gaze fixed on her unconscious form. His mind raced with questions, but there would be time for that once she regained her strength.
Turning, he activated his comm-device. “Summon the physician,” he ordered quietly. “And prepare for an inquiry. We have an unexpected guest.”
He could already imagine the Council’s reaction when they learned he had brought a human into the palace. They would see it as weakness, a distraction. But Kai was tired of their narrow vision, their insistence on tradition even as their people suffered. For once, he would decide his own course. And this human, with her fire and defiance, might be the catalyst he needed to finally break free of the chains his birthright had forged around him.
Hours passed in quiet, Kai’s mind a whirl of plans and possibilities as he sat by the edge of the platform, waiting for her to wake. Eventually, she stirred, her eyes fluttering open. The moment her gaze met his, he saw a flicker of wariness, but also that same stubborn fire.
“What… where am I?” she murmured, her voice raw.
“You’re safe,” he replied calmly. “You’re in my chambers, and under my protection.”
She scoffed, though the effort cost her. “Protection? That’s funny coming from someone who dragged me here without asking.”
Kai stifled a smirk. “You were about to collapse. I didn’t think I’d need your permission to prevent you from dying.”
Her eyes narrowed, but the corner of her mouth twitched, almost as if she wanted to laugh but refused to let him see it. “Fine. I’ll accept that,” she muttered. “For now.”
He leaned forward, studying her closely. “You’re far from home, human. What were you doing here? And more importantly… who are you?”
She met his gaze, defiant despite her vulnerability. “My name is Maya. And as for why I’m here… that’s none of your business.”
Kai’s lips curled into a half-smile. He admired her nerve, even if it bordered on foolishness. “It became my business the moment you crash-landed on my planet, Maya.”
A spark of frustration crossed her face, but she said nothing, merely looking away. Kai could sense she wasn’t telling him everything, but that was hardly surprising. Secrets lay between them, thick as the night outside, but something told him they were only just beginning to unravel. For the first time in a long while, he felt something stir within him—something dangerously close to hope.
