The world darkened, and a strange calm washed over me.

The agony faded as my consciousness slipped away.

I felt my body disintegrate, the familiar sensation of being reset taking over.

The last thing I saw before everything went black was Jayas’s face, filled with anguish and pain.

“Ten…”

I woke up in the pod, the familiar hum of the machines surrounding me.

My jumpsuit was drenched, and a cascade of water splashed across the glass floor at the same moment I reappeared in the pod.

Memories of my previous life flooded back.

The weight of what had just transpired pressed down on me, the realization that I’d been given a choice in how to die, a cruel twist in this twisted game.

I gasped, my lungs still aching from my earlier ordeal.

I peered through the glass wall of my prison and spotted the alien males baying and howling, thrusting their aching cocks in my direction.

The alien river monster was there, its fin torn from its earlier battle with Jayas, a venomous look in its eye, as it glared at the pod beside its own.

Jayas.

He got to his feet and smiled at me through the glass.

My heart leaped for joy that, even in a place such as this, I had found a friend.

An ally.

And, I quickly decided, before too long, we would be lovers.

That realization didn’t frighten me as it once would have.

I would give myself to him, and maybe, if we were lucky, we could get out of this place in one piece.

Jayas

“Ten…”

Through the semi-opaque wall of my pod, I watched Aurora.

The gentle glow of her chamber illuminated her delicate features, casting a celestial aura around her.

Her beauty was undeniable, but it was the spark in her eyes — that defiance, that fierce determination — that had truly captured my interest.

Every fiber of my being was drawn to her, and it wasn’t just because of the Mating Games.

There was an innate bond, a connection that defied reason and seemed to exist outside of this cruel spectacle.

Surrounding us, the cacophony of roars, growls, and frenzied sounds from other pods echoed, a grim reminder of the other competitors — competitors who were just as eager to claim Aurora as their prize.

The mere thought of any of them getting near her, touching her… ignited a fiery rage within me.

She was not theirs to Claim.

She was not a prize to be won.
