    Lucien.Get up. Time to go— Seth growled in his mind . His eyes flew open. It was still dark since he had his lights set to activate only on command. Hot breath fanned his chest and his legs were tangled with… Oh, God. He teleported himself in a surge of power into the hygiene room. His legs almost gave out beneath him making him need to clutch the entrance to the hygiene unit to steady himself. Everything around him seemed to swirl and distort. He closed his eyes with a groan and muttered a curse under his breath. Running a rough hand through his tangled locks, Lucien staggered into the glass cylindrical unit. He slapped a hand against the console to activate the cleansing rays. Blue light engulfed him immediately, head to toe. His hair, now clean and tangle-free, slid forward as he stared at his feet. The scent of sex no longer surrounded him. He didn’t want to think about last night. His head pounded with the familiar headache he usually experienced after getting shit faced. He took a strand of his hair between two fingers and frowned. The ends were already curling softly.

Beneath his booted feet, the soft rubbery texture of the flooring cushioned his steps as he walked forward within a lighted path. There were hundreds of transports lined up in concentric circles almost as far as the eye could see. The soft white overhead lighting reflected off each craft, winking like stars all around him. Alpha 7 had become home to thousands of fallen, homeless reapers. Every day there were more. He’d lost track of the many new faces and names. There were two rules though. No one entered without Devon’s permission, and no one revealed Alpha 7’s position, so that meant no bringing booty calls to the station.
