Part of Series
Skrits is dying. War-torn and decimated by disease, the planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable and their population dwindling with a lack of living females and the rare miracle of a live birth. Tarisk Sa Tskir, a newly-appointed Lieutenant and recent winner of the lottery for a breeding mate, is sent to Earth to chase down and execute a high-profile refugee in order to secure a place on his planet for his newborn son, Rikist. Yet while on Earth he meets a human female who changes his views on his current mission, and that meeting alters the entire course of his people. **This is a prequel novelette to the Sa Tskir Brothers Series to provide additional world-building and backstory. There is no HEA, and contains violence and language. This is a 10,000-word story, not a full-length novel.
