A wary human, a wounded alien cadet, and a bond neither intended—but both desperately need.
Wen never expected his first mission to end in betrayal, violence, and a desperate plea for safety. Still shaken from his former lover’s brutal attack, the young Travian cadet stumbles upon a hidden settlement where humans and Travians live in fragile peace. When survival demands he place himself under another male’s control, he chooses the one person who terrifies him as much as he fascinates him: a powerful human who wants nothing to do with owning a “pet.”
Jonathan Dax has spent his life mistrusting Travians—and for good reason. As liaison to the settlement, he refuses to mimic the alien tradition of taking a boy for pleasure. But when Wen kneels at his feet, trembling and begging for protection, Dax can’t turn away. What begins as obligation quickly turns into something far more dangerous: desire.
Behind closed doors, duty blurs into intimacy. Wen’s gentle resilience challenges Dax’s hardened beliefs, while Dax’s restraint and strength offer Wen the safety he’s never known. As their trust deepens, so does the pull neither can deny.
But the settlement hides shadows, and enemies move quietly beneath its idyllic surface. To claim their connection—and their future—Dax and Wen must confront the pasts that scar them and the threats waiting to tear them apart.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
