He may be a king but my rank is higher. Its called 'mom'.

One day I get a knock on my door.
It's the Drokan King.
Turns out that the two orphaned kids my best friend left behind when she died are royalty.
He says I need to bring them to the Palace. And I need to come be their nanny.
He'll pay me handsomely and ensure I live a life of privilege and comfort.

But there's something more.
I see a glint a hunger on his handsome alien face.
A stiffening of his muscular, ripped body.
I can tell he wants me to be around him.
That he sees me as his.

I can hear his thoughts.
He thinks I'm his fated mate.
I can sense his desire. It's thick. Strong.
I can almost touch it. Taste it.

Am I going to give in?
Be a human in this alien's court.
Care for his children and tend his home?
I will.but he can't call me a maid or a nanny.
He has to call me.

A Wife.

(I'll also accept "Mother")
