“Do you?” Mikhail asked, his gaze holding hers steady. “Do you trust me?” Ivory was silent a moment, studying his face. He was nothing like his brother. And little like his father.

She took a breath and felt Razvan move inside her mind. Supporting her. Holding her steady when the past was too close. She felt the brush of Razvan’s mind in hers, strong and enduring and totally for her.

No one else. Razvan’s loyalty was utterly hers and belonged to no one else.

“Yes.”

Mikhail stepped aside and gestured toward his front door with a slight bow. “Please enter my home as my honored guests.” His gaze slid over Razvan. “Both of you.” Razvan moved up then, past Ivory, his senses flaring out to inspect the occupants of the house. There were two women and several men inside. He halted at the door and glanced toward Gregori.

“Do you think we would prepare a trap in the very home of the prince with his lifemate present?” Gregori hissed, his silver eyes slashing at Razvan.

Razvan didn’t flinch under the reprimand. “Tell me you would not be wary of so many distrustful people.

Tell me you would not protect your lifemate.” His tone was mild, but there was heat in his eyes. “I can feel their suspicion like a weight pressing down on both of us. We need only to give our thanks and leave.

Everything.

“Natalya.” He breathed her name, unsteady.

His vision blurred as he stood feeling naked and vulnerable in front of her. It was one thing to talk to her from a distance, in a dream world where he lay beneath the ground safe from the recrimination that must be in her heart. But to have her stand in front of him, his twin sister, the one Xavier had systematically fed false information to and had tricked into giving him spells using Razvan . . .

Ivory surged into his mind. Into his heart. I am with you .

Four words, but that show of unity meant everything to him. She meant it. Ivory stood with him, tall and straight, a warrior without comparison, utterly proud of him. Her fallen angel—her lifemate.

Natalya’s eyes swam with tears. “Razvan, please don’t leave.” He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He swallowed the sudden lump in his throat threatening to choke him. One hand came up of its own volition and touched that bright hair. Natalya flung herself into his arms, weeping. He closed his arms around her and held her to him, shocked
