   Summary

   Dr. Captain Ryland Grace was just performing a routine check around Erid with Rocky to makes sure the Taumoeba continues to do its job. He was NOT expecting to come across a Submarine IN SPACE. With the help of his alien companion, the two manage save the Alpha locked inside. After years of isolation from humans, Ryland can't help but be thrilled by the hope he could, if not a mate, have human around again. He missed touch.

   Simon never expected to survive. He remembers it all too clearly. But then, by some miracle, an Angel saves him. He's never once thought himself worth saving, but if an Angel does, surely, he deserves to live? Even if Father says otherwise.

   How will the two navigate their new lives? Throwing an unmated pair inside a small biodome must surely have consequences. Not to mention, it's been far, far too long since either man has had a gentle, caring touch.

   (Add on the fact Simon is a newly turned Alpha with zero idea how to act around his Angel omega, well...It'll be entertaining, I'm sure.)
