### Sam's Secret

At the start of Sam's Secret, Sessah returns to Icehome after three years of living in Croatoan with his brothers Rokan's family. Sessah was confused when Sam seemed to be running away from him, only to realize that she is likely resonating to him, even though his Khui has yet to react. It isn't long before Sessah catches up and begins to resonate back. She reluctantly allows him to follow her to the fruit cave.

When they arrived in the cave, Sam finally shared with Sessah her history with Brad, her abusive stalker ex boyfriend. Three days later the two of them went hunting. While out they discovered a stasis pod with a male praxiian inside. Not sure what to do they decide to come back the next day. That night Sam and Sessah grow closer.

They came back the next day, deciding to open the pod. The Praxiian male is named Kvasaht. Sam, not trusting Kvasaht, tells the new arrival that she and Sessah are the only people on the planet. When alone with Sessah she tells him that Kvasaht should not be allowed back with the others until they are sure he is trustworthy. Kvasaht becomes fixated on Sam. In response Sam and Sessah become more intimate make it clear to the Praxiian she is mated to Sessah.

Sam continued to be suspicious of Kavasht and lies to him. He in turn, clearly doesn't believe them. Kvasaht tried to get Sessah to share Sam, believing she is a human slave he stole. This angered Sessah, and Sam has to calm him down. Afterwards Sam came to the decision that she wanted to be with Sessah.

When Kavasht left that night, the two took the opportunity try and fulfill resonance. Sessah headed to get clean water from the waterfall and Sam noded off. When she woke up Sessah was gone and Kavasht was standing over her clearly planning to assault her. He demanded she wash herself, and she refused. He thrusted her into the water, nearly drowning her.

Sessah, who Kavasht had knocked out and tied up, awoke calling out for Sam. Kavasht, in response, attacked him with a rock. trying to kill him. Sam crashed into Kavasht, who got stabbed in the throat by his knife in the fall. Sam, opting not to save him, used the knife to ensured his dies. Sam is ultimately relieved she was the one who killed Kavasht not Sessah, though Sessah wished he had.

The two then buried the body and the pod under a rock avalanche and both agree to keep it a secret.

Ten days later, Sam and Sessah returned to Icehome beach and learn that Daisy has had a facial burn. Despite that the two celebrate with the village over their resonance as well as Lauren and K'thar’s second resonance.

Sometime later, Sessah and Sam visited Croatoan so that Sam can meet his family
