Fugitive and Claimed on Aethel-Sky
(2026)(The second book in the Bonded by the Star-Gene series)
A Story by Zola Vale
He was sent to capture her. The bond he triggered chained him to her instead.
Tess has spent six weeks hiding in the soot-choked underbelly of a sky station, one bioscan away from the prison she clawed her way out of.
She's a smuggler with a stolen gift buried in her blood, a navigation gene the Consortium will cage her forever to own, forty-seven credits to her name, and no time to be hunted.
Then the air goes cold. Then she sees the wings.
Vane is Kallaran: fifteen feet of muscle and membrane, the weapon the Consortium uses to target the people it wants to disappear.
His orders are simple. Trigger the bond. Retrieve the female. Deliver her for sale. He's done worse to keep his starving colony alive.
He didn't know the bond would sink its claws into him, too.
Now they're trapped together in a room built for one, too dangerous to trust, too bonded to survive apart.
She was supposed to be cargo.
He will burn the Consortium to ash before he lets anyone collect what's his.
Set in the Bonded by the Star Gene universe, each book is a complete love story.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
