Maybe my punishment isn't having to return to my planet, but rather being given a mate only for him to be taken from me.

Especially the largest, grumpiest warrior in the village.

It wasn't easy escaping from the prison I'd been locked in. And an escape plan that includes a one-way ticket to an alien planet might not have been my smartest idea. But coming to Tavikh has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If I don't count the vicious aliens who keep trying to kill me.
