When we crashed on an ice world, my master drank my blood so he couldr survive, leaving me near death. Rescued by a fierce Aerilon Fae warrior, he tells me that I am his fated one—his Al'essa. He and his people are stranded here too and surrounded by enemies. He's fiercely protective of me, and I cannot deny the pull I feel toward him. The more time we spend together, I can't help but wonder: what would it be like if I allowed myself to fall for him?
