Jun was alive.

His body had filled with relief at the sight of her face. Her skin had a healthy glow to it, and her eyes had been bright and clear. No sign of the pain that had crippled her in his cell remained. Nuzal had done that.

The guards on either side of him growled, shoving him forward when his steps faltered. He could feel Raou’s eyes on his back, burning into his scarred flesh. If he was here, then Jun was safe from him. For now.

The male who had arrived with him, a scientist, Brin assumed by the way he scrolled through the files on his comm, walked ahead of them, barking orders as they passed through a set of doors into a large room. A single reclining chair sat in the middle of it, surrounded by high-tech machines Brin was unfamiliar with. These looked nothing like the medbays on the Grutex ships he had been on. They were keeping secrets.

The lights in the room flickered for only a second, making Brin wonder if it was Nyissa attempting to hack into the system. She needed all the time he could give her. He’d hoped she would be able to find something, anything, but so far, she hadn’t even been able to tell him how long they had been on the ship, or even how much time had passed since their abduction from Earth.

Nyissa rested when he did, so she would have been completely unaware of what was happening during his time in the cryochamber. Perhaps his cooperation would bring her closer to a more helpful source. His AI was resourceful and good at what he’d programmed her to do. He had faith in her.

A rough hand pressed into the middle of his back, knocking him forward. Brin turned his head to see Raou glaring at him, a grin pulling at the newer scars on the side of his face. The male caught him around the throat, and he stumbled backward, trying to stay on his feet as he advanced.

“This time,” Raou growled as Brin’s legs bumped into the lower section of the chair. “This time, I will torture you.”

Brin hit the seat so hard he felt the air leave his lungs. He managed a smile as the guards removed the cuffs before placing the chair’s bonds around his wrists and ankles. A thick strap was secured over his chest and hips as Raou stepped away. Brin watched him converse with the other male, the scientist who didn’t seem to like Nuzal. Their heads were bowed close together, and they spoke in hushed tones as they looked over whatever was on the other male’s comm.

Taking a deep, calming breath, Brin closed his eyes and thought of his little mate. She was alive and waiting for him in that cell and he would do anything to get back to her. Being away from her, not knowing if she was okay, had been the hardest thing he’d ever been through. Brin had
