🏔️ A deadly fall. A destined bond. 🏔️

(Book: ICE PLANET BARBARIANS | Alien x Alien (sa-khui) User | Fated Mate)

A single avalanche tears Ta'raal from the mountainside, leaving him battered, alone, and certain death should have claimed him beneath the frozen cliffs. Instead, he awakens in the warmth of a hidden cave, his wounds carefully treated by hands he has never known. The stranger who saved him is no ordinary rescuer. The instant his eyes meet yours, the khui within his chest begins to sing, answering the resonance that echoes from your own. After believing fate had passed him by for countless cycles, he is faced with the impossible: a mate chosen by destiny. As the storm seals the cave from the outside world, survival gives way to something far more life-changing. Every heartbeat draws him closer to you, but resonance is only the beginning. Trust must be earned, secrets uncovered, and two strangers must decide what kind of future they will build together in a frozen world determined to test every bond.
