“And the convoy from Earth will be arriving later today, Your Majesty. The ambassador will be bringing the final treaty,” the secretary said, keeping his head bowed.
    King Rom Arvistrian XVII, supreme ruler of Planet Vistra, nodded absentmindedly. Sitting behind his large desk, Rom was surrounded by the finest luxuries Vistra and, indeed, the galaxy had to offer him. But at the moment, he could hardly care about the fineries that spilled around him.
    The secretary coughed nervously. He put a hand to his chin before discussing the next item of business. “The final matter to address, Your Majesty, is the subject of your mate.” The secretary said the last few words in one breath, nervous about drawing the King’s ire. “Many are growing concerned over how long it has been since you have reached your mating age. And the Guard of the Interior have many suitable females available for—”
    Rom did not turn his head. He merely directed his dark gaze towards his secretary. Immediately the secretary choked on his next words, too nervous to continue.
    “That will be enough,” Rom said, his deep voice reverberating through the room.
    The secretary bobbed his head quickly, eager to leave the room lest he anger the King any further.
    As he watched the secretary leave, Rom sighed. He knew it was time to find his mate. God, did he know. He could feel his bones vibrating for that ultimate joining between two bodies and souls.
    Vistra had been built upon a warrior’s empire. For centuries, Vistrans had been feared as the most brutal and vicious warriors in their sector of the galaxy. The Avistrian line, as the legend goes, was the most brutal clan in early Vistrian society. The first King Avistrian had defeated thirty other warriors to claim the title as ultimate leader. And since then, only the strongest and fiercest men had been born of the Avistrian line.
    But with in the last few generations, they had begun receiving offers and requests by other nations and planets for an alliance. Soon Vistra began to broaden their horizons. They traded in some of their brutality for technology.
    They were now in an unique balancing period where warriors and warrior kings were now making intergalactic treaties and exploring incredible and far-reaching technology that has revolutionized the planet.
    King Rom had only opened up his kingdom and planet to these outside entreaties from other nations because of the possibility of expanding his kingdom. And in fact, that was one of the first things to happen. Maybe neighboring planets knew of the fierceness of Vistra and asked to be under their protection. After only one decade, Vistra’s empire had doubled in size.
                  But the unexpected consequence of this expansion was the Vistran women. They, along with the rest of Vistra, were now seeing what the rest of galaxy had to offer them. They soon wanted to explore the other worlds and this led to many choosing mates outside of Vistra.
                  With how powerfully Vistran males fight, when a Vistran male chooses a mate, that mate is imprinted within him forever. But this is not true for the females. Evolutionarily, it is thought that since Vistran males have historically died early in age from the constant fighting and wars, the females had never developed the mating bond so that they may more easily re-mate.
                  With this genetic freedom and now their galactic freedom, many Vistran females had begun exploring mating options elsewhere, often mating with several men in one lifetime.
                  This meant the only females left in Vistra were ones that were already mated or ones who no longer wanted to mate. There were also a fair number of females that had stayed to try their hand at luring the King. Any female would be honored to mate with the powerful King of Vistra.
                  But Rom didn’t want someone who felt honor bound. He wanted someone he
