Krijese warlord Ortak was born to fight, kill, and destroy, until a sickly orphaned kit nobody wanted turned him into a gogo.
Caring for young Gannen gave him someone to protect and guide, and he believed that was enough.
After his tribe leader found a mate, Ortak began to wish for a female of his own, never imagining he would end up capturing one.
Elodie has spent her life running, from a new job to a new city and finally to another planet, until she falls headlong into a hole in the ground and thinks the chase is over.
Rescue comes from a large alien male and his young son, and she starts to believe she may have found what was missing if she can stop running.
