Her face had haunted me ever since she had wriggled out of my hold. I had returned, and my mission had been to honor the human females who had perished in the crash, scavenge what I could from the ship, and find the one who had gotten away. Before I could catch her again, I had been recalled. The settlement had fallen under attack, and my clan of exiles was on the move. Time was running out, and my spirit mate continued to evade me.

I had gotten loose when we had crash-landed. Now I was hiding, hoping my memory returned and trying to find a way off this broken-down spacecraft. Then he found me, the silver-haired one. He wasn't like the others, but neither was he human. Something inside me called to him, but how could I trust a stranger when I was, also, a stranger to myself?
