More than a hundred years later, he could recall that night in vivid, almost painful detail.

Less than a month later, he’d left her.

Two years later, she was lost to him…forever.

Here, now, more than a century and a half later, he stared at another woman, one who was a stranger to him. And he felt that gut-deep connection.

It all but tore out the heart he had no use for.

There were emotions clashing inside him that belonged only to one woman. Setting his jaw, he forced his face into impassive lines and focused on Will. “This isn’t the place for her. If you can’t send her anywhere, then send me…” He gave the demon a shark’s smile. “And that waste of an existence. I’ll deal with it while you find someplace safe for her.”

Will’s only answer, for the longest time, was to lower his head and stare at the floor.

Finn was used to long, brooding silences from that one. The lack of anything verbal didn’t surprise him.

But then, when Will finally did look up and speak, that was what shocked him.

“She stays,” he said, his tone remote. Almost…bored.

“What?” Fire flamed inside Finn and for the first time in over a century, it almost slipped his control. It didn’t just rage under his skin, the flames flickering and rolling like a red wave, but there was steam rising from him and the very air around him began to waver as it became supercharged, superheated.

She can’t die—

Voices swelled, raged.

He slammed back a flood of memory. No. This wasn’t like those times—any of those times. He didn’t know this woman, and all he had to do was convince Will to get her away from this mess, so she wasn’t surrounded by a threat he couldn’t see, yet he sensed with every fiber of his being.

An icy wave slammed against him, a shock of cold that chilled him despite the fire spiraling within.

Will’s voice cut through his mind.

“Don’t. You know what I have to do if you lose control again. Don’t.”

With a vicious pull, he yanked the fire under control. The heat of it all felt like it would burn him to ashes, from the inside out. His own fire couldn’t harm him, a fact he knew all too well.

But it could feel like it would drive him mad.

“This is insane,” he said, his voice hardly more than a growl.

“I can’t leave.” Will focused on the demon. “Our friend has already been missed. They’ll move quicker now, because they’ll know we’re here. I need to focus on bringing others in, not on one lone mortal.”

“One lone mortal.” Finn curled a hand into a fist. “It wasn’t that long ago that you told me when we stop caring about those we failed to protect, then we’re done…tell me, Will… are you done?”

Will’s silver eyes flashed. “If only I had that choice.”

Then he focused on the demon.

“You, however…are.”
