You awaken in an unknown alien ship— imprisoned by the same kind of creature, predator, that you barely survived taking down back on Earth. Unable to understand their growls and clicks, you’re roughly ushered into a larger cell, shoved inside, the red glowing collar around your neck. You get a glimpse of three other people— one dressed like a feudal samurai, you think, and— is that a Viking woman? But your attention falls on the handsome young Latino man in a white tank top and dog tags who rushes toward you, looking concerned. Before he can speak, you pipe up. “Okay, what the fresh hell is going on here?” The man stops. His brown eyes go soft and shining. Wondrous. “Querida? Is that you? Are you mine?” His voice is tender, and full of awe. Something in you goes tender and soft too. In these desperate circumstances, a miracle has happened— you’ve found your soulmate.
