    Prisoner, Pet, or Prey 
    Finally able to communicate via a mix of sign language and drawings, Jessica now needs answers. Why was her planet destroyed by giant alien cats? What happened to her family? Why was she held in captivity for so long? Why is she being leashed? And most importantly, why has she been forced to breed, and what do they want with her and her unborn child? 
    For the first time in her life, Marsee has a friend, the tiny biped cub in her family's care. More than anything, she wants to help Little Flower recover from the trauma she's experienced and help prove to the Council that the cub is more than just an animal. Only Marsee's instinct sees the cub as yummy-smelling prey, too. 
    Having found out what happened to the young cub in his care, Councilor Jeran Chenzira must make an impossible decision: protect his family, or protect the cub and her entire species — a species that might just be too violent to be worth saving.
