Manu moved closer to Kate, feeling the rigidity of her body. She held her injured team member’s hand, her gaze on Kendra’s face.

She was holding on, but she was on the edge. Worry for the younger woman was stamped all over her features.

Manu looked at the woman. Poor Kendra. He felt his own nightmares shift in his head. He remembered all too well how it felt to be in Kendra’s position. He remembered the shock and pain of losing his own leg. His gut churned painfully.

Suddenly, he heard pounding footsteps behind them.

“Incoming,” Tane’s voice echoed in his ear.

A second later, his brother arrived with the rest of the berserkers. They’d come fast and weren’t even wearing full armor.

“Fuck me,” Hemi muttered.

“I have a stretcher.” Ash stepped forward, opening up the iono-stretcher. “Doc Emerson and her team are waiting.”

Kate grabbed Kendra’s arm. “You’re going to be okay. I’ll make sure of it.”

Manu gripped Kate’s shoulders and pulled her back. He got an even better view of the woman’s leg. It was a hell of a mess. Manu tasted bile. She’d lose it for sure.

Manu’s dark memories stirred, like a hungry beast waking from hibernation. Ready to shove against the cage that Manu kept them locked in.

Ash and Levi lifted the unconscious woman onto the stretcher. Kate was standing still, so still, her gaze trained on her injured team member.

She stiffened. “What the hell is that?”

Manu saw she was looking at Kendra’s damaged leg. He leaned closer to get a better look. There was a strange dark patch on the woman’s thigh. What the hell?

“They…they look like scales,” Manu said.

“It’s embedded in her skin.” Kate’s voice was horrified.

“It must be some sort of debris from the mine,” Manu said.

“Let’s get her to the doc,” Tane ordered.

Kate swiveled. “There could be more mines, ones we don’t know about.”

Shit. Manu looked around. “The ones we stepped on hadn’t had time to kill the grass. Just avoiding the dead patches isn’t enough.”

“I can help with that,” a soft voice said.

They all spun and Manu saw Tane stiffen.

A slim woman stood nearby, her dark pants blending into the night, but her pearlescent skin glowing in the darkness. Selena’s silver-white hair was pulled back in a ponytail which accented her overlarge green eyes. A large black bird was perched on her shoulder, huge claws curved over her dark shirt.

“What the hell are you doing out here?” Tane barked.

Selena shot him a look, then looked at the injured woman on the stretcher. “The general approved it.” There was a faint trace of attitude in her voice.

Manu raised a brow. When the alien woman had first been rescued from the Gizzida, she’d been shy and shell-shocked. She was an enemy of the raptors who’d been abducted from her home world.

Now she was a survivor, far from her own planet, and called the Enclave home. Manu had watched her the last few months and seen her growing stronger.

“I think I can detect the alien landmines,” Selena said.

“How?” Manu asked.

Selena crouched. Her pet, Fluffy, fluttered his sleek, leather-like wings then settled again.
