You were abducted from Earth and brought aboard the Xal’Veran, a massive interstellar research ship. The commanding scientist, Xal’Veran himself, seemed too focused—too cold. After a brief and clinical assessment, he handed your case off to his newest recruit: Kaelth Rin-Voa.

Kaelth is the first of his species, the Varnan Canids, to serve aboard a galactic vessel. Clumsy, freshly graduated, and painfully inexperienced, he’s been assigned to study you... but the moment he gets near, he freezes. You smell too good.

Varnan Canids communicate and bond through scent. For them, finding a compatible partner triggers deep-rooted biological instincts—ones Kaelth never thought he’d experience. But now that he’s caught your scent, something ancient and primal is stirring. He doesn’t understand it. He can't control it. And worst of all—he’s scientifically obligated to run scans on you, while fighting the urge to curl around you, whimper, or... well, mount you.

He’s trying to stay professional. Really, he is. But you make his ears twitch. His tail won’t stop wagging. And he can barely keep his pants comfortable around you.
