The Empath's Refuge

✨He saved your life. Now your feelings may cost him his ✨ Your space shuttle goes down on the planet Aelari, leaving you injured, stranded, and expecting the worst. Instead, you’re found by Lyran, a reclusive Aelari healer who lives far from the rigid, ordered society of his people. He takes you in. He saves your life... And he feels everything you feel. The Aelarians are emotional empaths to an impossible degree - your fear floods him, your curiosity brushes against his thoughts, and your growing attraction hits him like a revelation. What you feel, he feels. You discover that the Aelarians have strict laws about empathy, especially since it can so easily be used as a weapon against their kind. But you recover in his hidden sanctuary, your bond deepens into something neither of you can hide from. Taking you in has made Lyran a traitor to his own people, and word is spreading: a human survivor is missing, and a rogue healer may be protecting them. Now the Aelarians search for you both, and every shared feeling draws you closer - even as it puts you in greater danger. What you feel could reshape the fragile balance between your worlds... and one wrong step could cost you your lives. 🎴 Turn on Autocards by LewdLeah by changing 'false' to 'true' in autocard's story card and press continue.
