The Commander's Promise

Synopsis

In a forgotten prison at the edge of the galaxy, Alexandra Carlos—an inventor from the Philippines—awakens filthy, alone, and surrounded by alien species she cannot understand. Her only weapon is her mind. When a dying prisoner leaves behind a bag of scraps, Alex builds a translator and begins to reclaim her voice. But everything changes when Xal’thren, a cursed and feared Supreme Commander, is thrown into her cell. Towering, tattooed with living flame, and bound by a grotesque past, he carries the weight of a galaxy—and the promise of escape. Their bond begins in silence and survival, but deepens through psychic connection, sensual foreplay, and shared trauma. As they flee the prison and journey across hostile planets, Alex must navigate twisted courts, seductive rituals, and the dangerous politics of cosmic war. Queen Elyzkarra demands proof of their love. Eryndrak, the breeder king, seeks revenge. And Kael’Vor, Xal’thren’s second-in-command, hides a bitter truth. When Alex becomes pregnant with twins—children born of fire and storm—she must choose between hiding in the mountains of Ilocos Sur or claiming her place beside the commander who changed her fate. A story of resilience, intimacy, and ancestral power, The Commander’s Promise is a slow-burning, emotionally charged sci-fi romance where love is forged in war, and destiny is written in crimson and gold.
