CHAPTER 26

“Lucien?” she whispered.

He leaned over and kissed her. “Get dressed.”

He rose from the bed, and Callie scrambled to gather her clothes while he tugged on his jeans. She was pulling her shirt over her head when a loud knock reverberated against the door.

The sound caused her to jump as uneasiness crept through her belly. She had no idea what was on the other side, but she suspected their time here had come to an end.

Lucien checked to make sure Callie was dressed before he put his eye to the peephole. On the other side, he spotted Ronan looking back and forth down the walkway.

“It’s okay,” Lucien assured Callie. “It’s my friends.”

Despite his reassurance, disappointment filled her. Yep, their time here had come to an end, and she had no idea what would happen after this. They would go somewhere safer, he would return to his life, and she would…?

And that was the kicker of it all. She had no idea what she would do or what would become of her. Lucien wouldn’t turn her out on the street, but knowing that didn’t give her any answers or reassurance.

Lucien undid the locks and opened the door. Ronan’s burgundy eyes swung toward him, and his nostrils flared as he inhaled.

Lucien didn’t move as he waited for the leader of the Alliance, his king, to ascertain he wasn’t a Savage and this wasn’t a trap. It didn’t take Ronan long to realize he didn’t possess the reek of a Savage, and Ronan’s eyes warmed.

“Lucien,” he greeted as he stepped forward.

Lucien wasn’t quite sure how it happened, but somehow, they were embracing and slapping each other on the back. He couldn’t recall anything like this ever happening between them before. They were friends, but they’d never expressed such overt caring for each other before.

“It’s good to see you,” he said.

“It’s good to see you too,” Ronan said. “I didn’t think we’d ever see you again, at least not like this.”

“Neither did I.”

They released each other, and Ronan stepped back to rest his hands on Lucien’s shoulders. “We have a lot of catching up to do.”

“Yes, we do.”

Callie kept her hands clasped in front of her as she watched the men. The love between them was evident, but there was something a little awkward in their embrace; she doubted they did it often. From what Lucien told her, his friends were his family, but they didn’t share much about themselves.

Their bond was born of their necessity to fight the evil threatening to ravage the world. It was obvious when he talked about them that he loved them, but they kept their pasts to themselves. She suspected it was because many of them had memories they preferred to forget.

When they turned toward her, Callie lifted her chin and tried not to be intimidated by the man with the reddish-brown eyes. The power oozing from him crackled against her skin.

“Ronan, this is Callie,” Lucien introduced.

“It’s nice to meet you,” Ronan said.

“It’s nice to meet you too,” Callie said and was proud her voice didn’t quiver.
