Author's Note: Hello everyone, first I'd like to apologize for my absence. I have been dealing with my divorce and have been too distracted to write. I needed to take some time to get back in the swing of things. I will do my best to get back to updating on a regular schedule. So, to start things off here is a short teaser chapter. Carmyn.

(Inside the shuttle on the habitable moon)

(Lex POV)

Consciousness came back to me slowly and I kept my eyes closed to assess my situation. My body felt sluggish yet weightless and I could hear voices. The voices were weird to hear as if I was hearing the voice but with a kind of English overlay like those old-timey kung-Fu films. Everything all the sounds I could hear, has that muffled echo quality like being underwater.

Wait … underwater … weightless … my eyes shot open as I looked down at my body and surrounding environment. I was floating in a tank of clear fluid but I could breathe it. This must be some kind of stasis tube, but why am I in it? Did I get hurt?

Okay Lex, calm down and think. I am okay, and can breathe. Nothing hurts, and the last thing I remember is… is… Scar… the Queen… the Elder… He stopped me from attacking the ones who tried to take Scar.

He said," be still or he will die."

Scar, is he okay?

Is he still alive or did he die from his injuries?

I have to know. I feel like I owe him. I need to know he is okay, but, first, I need to get out of this tube.

I heard voices earlier maybe they are still around. This fluid makes my movements sluggish; but if I can hit the glass hard enough maybe they will hear it and release me then I can look for Scar. Now to get their attention.

(Scar POV)

"That is what happen to the best of my knowledge and you will have to be patient with her until she accepts the bond and mating is complete. I have given the knowledge module for mating with her species. I know this is a lot to take in nephew but, you are a blooded warrior now and you have an incomplete mating bond. You will have to consummate it or it will slowly drive you both crazy until it is."

"I understand, Uncle." I said.

Then a thump got our attention. Followed by another louder one, and several more that got progressively louder.

"Sounds as if you mate is awake. She is a feisty one, I like her. Let's go let her out, shall we?"

"Yes, Uncle." I said following him to the stasis area.

A/N: Thank you for reading, please review and a new chapter will be up in a few days.
