make sure you will never know such pain again.”
                  Those words. They had lit a warmth within her that she had never felt before. His handsome face, so harsh with regret over her pain, seemed to hold her entire heart. Sarah looked down at his large, defined body and knew she would only find safety and warmth in his arms.

              Every day it was getting harder and harder for Brax to keep his distance from Sarah. He wanted to hold and keep her delicate body next to him forever. And yet, he did not want to force or overwhelm her. She had just left the totality of slavery. She deserved some freedom. Mating with a Vistran was no easy matter. Vistran men mated for life. Would she be ready to clip her wings so soon after she had gotten them?
                  Brax, for one, was not willing to do that to her. No matter how much his body ached for her, no matter how much his heart reached for her, he would give her her freedom.
                  He just hoped he could survive sending her off.

              “Tomorrow there will be a ship arriving from the settlement of Rhyo. It is a good community that has fair laws and no slavery. I will give you a modest purse that should be enough to help you settle yourself there comfortably.” Brax paused, clearing his throat. “If you ever need more, you know you can always contact me. I will always be here.”
                  Sarah stared at the shipping logs on the tablet Brax had presented her with. She didn’t know whose face showed more regret, hers or his. So a suitable ship had finally arrived. Brax had been true to his word.
                  Sarah slowly nodded. “Alright,” she said quietly. “Tomorrow afternoon?” She could hardly believe she would be leaving. She had secretly hoped it would take weeks for a decent ship to arrive.
                  Brax nodded. He didn’t raise his eyes to her. Staring at the screen, he confirmed, “Tomorrow afternoon.”
                  Sarah imagined a world where she would have money, freedom, and a future. It felt wonderful. But there was something missing.
                  Brax.

              The moonlight spilled into his room. Brax felt his heart ache as he thought about Sarah soon flying off. He knew it was the right thing to do and he was determined to honor his decision of giving her her freedom. And yet he couldn’t help but feel his heart protest at the idea of losing its mate.
                  He turned away from the moonlight, unable to look at the orb without thinking about Sarah’s fair skin.
                  He stopped in his tracks when he looked up and saw his own personal moonlight standing in his bedroom doorway.
                  “Sarah,” he said, surprised. She stood in the doorway wearing a sheer nightgown that allowed him to see the outline of her body’s every curve. In the few days she had spent with him, she had slowly begun to fill out nicely, allowing her natural curves to return.
                  “What are you doing here?” he asked. He could feel his body roar in desire for her. He swallowed tightly trying to hold himself back.
                  Sarah hesitantly stepped towards him. “Brax,” she said in a breathless whisper. Her large eyes, infinitely warm, stared up at him. He would miss those eyes the most.
                  “Sarah, you should get some rest,” he said, unable to hide the regret in his voice. “You have a long journey ahead of you.”
                  Sarah bit her lower lip. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and touched his bare stomach. Brax breathed in sharply. Like most Vistrans, he slept in the nude. He was shirtless and had been about to remove his trousers before bed but now, was still in
