Chapter One

Space Station Hospital…1958

In the sterile room, he pressed his mouth to hers for a final kiss. The warmth of her once pink lips faded fast, leaving them dull and cool to the touch. Inhaling her delicate scent for the last time deep into his lungs, he could taste the memory of her kiss on his breath.

Sweet fire.

Aroc’s knuckles bleached out under his tight grip on the hem of the sheet as he draped it over her lifeless body. He’d loved the curve of her shoulders, the dip at the base of her slender throat. Her narrow chin, near white skin, and hair red as a flame made up the shell that contained his world. The pain brought him to his knees beside the gurney where his grip on the sheet tightened. They were gone and nothing he did could have saved his family. Not even the wet streaks trailing down his face would reverse this tragedy.

In the space station's hospital lobby, he sat surrounded by sad yellow chairs and sterile gray walls. Around him, a vicious pulse emanated from the humans and karuntee on the brink of war with so much emotion saturating the room. A pain so great he wanted to die. Without his life mate, Katherine, and their child, Aroc had no fight.

Captain Aroc Farkus of the Karuntian Clan of Moon Dwellers threw his head back and bellowed. The crushing pain of loss tore at his heart.

In a bloody moment, he’d lost two of his loves. The biggest crush of all was never seeing his daughter’s eyes, never touching her face, or holding her hands in his. 

Consumed by grief, Aroc laced his fingers together setting them on top of his smooth head, the image of Katherine’s cheek resting on his chest as they watched her belly move at night swam through his mind. He loved feeling his daughter wiggle when Katherine pressed her belly against his stomach in bed. How would he ever sleep again without Katherine in his arms?

Now he waited to hold their lifeless bodies one last time, before sending them off into the atmosphere.

It took effort to open his eyes. Aroc blinked to gain focus. Humans and karuntee, halted mid-motion, silently observing him mourn his wife and child.

With a quick nod, he set his partially focused vision to watch them moving slowly around the space. He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees, and shuffled the empty cups of coffee around on the white table.

The nurse’s station had cleared down to one cowering body, eyes wide, staring over the Formica laminated counter. She stayed shielded behind a bowl of yellow Karuntian daises filling a fish bowl the size of a bowling ball. Under the glow of the bright lights, the flowers appeared gaudy in the somber atmosphere.

Drained, he moved with lethargy to stand and peer out of the window. He rested his head against the cool surface of the glass and imagined Katherine’s shuttle hovering before the bay doors, awaiting clearance. She’d glance up, giving him a quick tip of her chin. Excellent pilot, commander, wife, and friend—the only human female he could stomach.

Broken hearted; he’d never mate again.
