Triumph (The Tribute series book 3) by @Kate4Queen virtual tour | COMMENT Giveaway + Spotlight & Excerpt { @RiptideBooks | @TTCBooksandmore }

Rehz Akran has had enough of the Tribute program and its sadistic overseer, Palk. When Palk captures Rehz’s mate, Anna Lee, and offers her and Aled Price to the Ungrich for further research, Rehz is ready for rebellion. But first, with the help of Kai Mexr—who wants Aled back just as much as Rehz wants Anna—he must break into the Ungrich world, rescue Anna, and discover why they want her so badly.

The chilling answer to that question lies in Anna’s forgotten origins—origins that Aled shares. To save their lovers, Rehz and Kai must take on Palk and a government that is more than willing to sacrifice Anna and Aled to keep the peace.

The two couples join forces—in more ways than one—and together they discover that they may be capable of defeating two civilizations and changing the course of Mitan history forever.

 Excerpt: 

“Rehz . . . just hold up a minute.”

Ignoring Kai Mexr—because damn, he had to get to Anna before anyone hurt her—Rehz Akran increased his speed and charged out into the street, scaring several pedestrians as he turned to find his vehicle. The alarms inside the military admin building were still wailing, but no one had followed them out. They were probably all still fussing over fucking Palk. He really wished Kai hadn’t laid Palk out with a single punch, because he’d wanted to deal with the bastard himself.

A few hours earlier he’d returned home from buying groceries to find the door of his apartment blasted off and signs of a struggle. It hadn’t taken him long to realize that Anna must have been taken, and exactly who had taken her and why. He’d decided to start searching at the military hospital and had run into Kai, who was searching for Aled.

“Rehz!” Kai grabbed his arm and hauled him to a stop, dragging him around a corner into a less populated street and slamming him against the wall. “This isn’t going to work. We need to slow down and think about what we’re doing here.”

He tried to shrug off Kai’s hold. “Anna is in fucking Ungrich space. That’s all the fuck I need to know. I’m going in there and fucking destroying it.”

Kai shoved his hands flat on Rehz’s chest. “If you go in like that, you know they’ll kill you. This isn’t like you. Think.”

“Better to die together than let those fucking bastards touch my woman!” Rehz snarled. He didn’t feel like himself anymore, didn’t care how much damage he did as long as he got to Anna.

“That’s fucking stupid,” Kai said patiently. “I want to get Aled out as much as you want Anna, but I don’t intend to be a martyr.”

Rehz gave a deep, shuddering breath. “Okay. Okay. What are you suggesting we do? Turn up and knock at the door with a bunch of fricking flowers?”

“I think they’d let us in. They know us. They let us live twice.” Kai swallowed hard. “We’re going to have to use our wits rather than our fists, agreed?”

Rehz scowled at his best friend. “I’ll try it your way first, but I still prefer mine.”

Kai exhaled. “Good. Now we need to find out whether my security clearance for the Tribute facility still works.”

“And if it doesn’t?”

“I have a few friends who still work there. If they won’t let me in, I’ll threaten to kill them. But first I suggest we pay our good friend General Palk another visit.” Kai’s smile was lethal. “I bet he can tell us exactly what’s going on.”
