Silver Scholar

Zikkar
I was a scholar, not a warrior, yet I would burn the universe to keep her. Rowan was stolen from Earth, torn from her twin and believes she’s alone on Valose. She isn’t. Her echo burns in my ancillary heart, placed there by Spirits who don’t make mistakes. She doesn’t understand what we are yet. But I do. Beyond our dome, new enemies gather. Huren still bleeds from the last war. Safety crumbles. Time dwindles. And when they come for my female, I’ll become something far deadlier than a tech. Because Rowan will be mine.

Rowan
I didn’t believe in soulmates, not on Earth or anywhere else, but Valose doesn’t care. Here, sex creates an unbreakable spirit-bond, something I can’t risk while my twin sister remains lost among the stars. Yet I struggle to resist Zikkar, the silver-scaled male whose calm brilliance makes him impossible to ignore. He watches me like I’m both sacred and something he’s starving for. Now, with war pressing against our trembling dome, the one male who makes me feel safe could claim me forever. When that bond finally snaps tight, will I run or surrender to my silver scholar?
