They gave her one year of belonging. The Confederacy erased every memory of it. Three years later, she doesn't know their faces — but her blood remembers.

Jade was sixteen when she escaped the streets of Earth — starving, feral, and certain that no one in the galaxy gave a damn whether she lived or died. Then five Danan brothers proved her wrong. For one year, she knew what safety tasted like. What it felt like when people's eyes lit up because she'd walked into the room instead of darkening because she hadn't left it.

Then the Confederacy came for its protected species. And the Wipe took everything.

She's nineteen now. Back on Earth with a hollow feeling she can't explain and a gap in her memory that aches like a missing limb. She doesn't know their names. She doesn't know their faces. She doesn't know that five young warriors deserted their posts, defied their government, and destroyed their family's reputation rather than let her go — and lost her anyway.

They've been carrying the grief for four years. Shaid, rigid and rule-bound, broke every law he'd ever followed and it still wasn't enough. Okal, the healer, couldn't fix the one wound that mattered. Kliad buried his loneliness deeper behind the golden arrogance. Yaidin has spent four years furious at a system that calls biology a myth when it's inconvenient. And Briad — awkward, precise, fierce — survived his mother's cruelty only to lose the one person who made him believe he was worth more than Looli's contempt.

Their mother called the bond messy and disgusting. A weakness that destroys warriors. She expected her sons to recover. She was wrong.

Now they've found her again. A young woman with no memory of them, no reason to trust them, and every reason to run from five alien strangers who look at her like she's the missing piece of something she can't remember breaking.

The Confederacy still wants her returned. The poachers still want her sold. And the bond doesn't care that her mind forgot — because her body, her blood, and every nerve she owns are already reaching for them.

She lost every memory of belonging. They never forgot a single one. And the bond that was erased is about to rewrite all their futures.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
