Chapter Seven

Beth’s head ached. Well, her entire body ached, but her head was the part of her body that hurt the most. She forced her eyes open, wincing at the lancing pain that flashed behind her eyes. The last thing she remembered was Eagan turning to look at her, the feelings of love she couldn’t hold back when he told her that he cared for her, and the overwhelming fear that slapped her when he told her to brace for impact.

The shuttle then began to spin as they went into freefall, the motion making her stomach bottom out and her heart race. She’d lost consciousness at some point, which was a blessing if she thought about it.

Which she didn’t want to do because of how much her head hurt.

“Ouch.” Her voice sounded weak in her ears, and the space around her seemed smaller. “Eagan?”

She was finally able to open her eyes and look around. It was dark, and the cavity of the shuttle had collapsed in on itself opposite from where she sat. Her chair was on an awkward angle and if she hadn’t been strapped into the seat, there was no chance she would have survived the crash.

“Eagan!”

Beth fought through her panic and took several breaths to calm herself. She was alive and on the planet. She couldn’t see the pilot’s cabin, so there was a chance that he could have survived and was trying to find a way to get to her. Just because the front section of the shuttle appeared to be crushed under the impact of wherever the shuttle landed, didn’t mean that he’s dead and that she’s now alone on an alien planet.

That she’d lost her mate before she’d even had a chance to know him.

The first thing she needed to do was free herself from this seat. She’d taken a survival course once in her youth, a mandatory session for anyone who ever traveled via shuttle. They needed to understand the basics of surviving, at least for a short time, in a hostile environment in case of an emergency crash.

This clearly qualified.

Looking around for something that she could use as a knife, her gaze landed on a piece of the wall panel that had cracked and now jutted from the wall. Careful not to cut her hand, she reached over and moved the metal dagger back and forth until the weak point snapped and she pulled it free. With renewed purpose, she pulled at the shoulder strap and began to saw at the material that held her tight to the chair. After several minutes and a deep cut to the palm of her hand, she was able to slice through the strap and slid herself free.

As her feet touched the ground a laugh escaped her. She dropped to her knees, her body shaking and let the relief wash over her. She shouldn’t feel as pleased as she did about such a simple act of survival, but Beth couldn’t help but feel pride in what she’d done.
