Chapter Seven

The rebel campground was blanketed in layer upon layer of snowy white, like a picture-perfect postcard of serenity. While a small, childish part of Nate longed to be out there, threading his footsteps through the unmarred snow, it was far too cold for the humans of their group to be out in for any length of time.

“Not like that.”

The strong tenor of Ruby’s voice floated through the large gymnasium he and the Fallen had recently built on one corner of the rebel campground, so the humans could continue their training during the winter months. Nate turned away from the window.

Ruby was showing Abby some basic hand-to-hand combat maneuvers, and he had to admit his little beauty looked strong and graceful mimicking Ruby’s movement. Not to mention the way her tight jeans molded over the fine curves of her body.

“Your foot goes here,” Ruby said as she positioned Abby into the proper placement.

Abby lifted her fists to block her face, and the soft wool of her fitted sweater rose to show a glimpse of her stomach. That simple flash of skin made his body go rigid with desire.

How on Earth had he been able to resist her slumbering in his bed? And why was he continuing to fight this attraction?

Think of Talitha. Respect what you had with her.

But that frame of thought was no longer holding sway. Talitha had been a wonderful woman. A good life mate. But she was dead. She’d been dead for a dozen years, and she would have wanted him to be happy. To move on and find another love.

So then, the only thing left was fear. Fear that he would fall in love with Abby only to have her ripped from his arms. Fear that he wouldn’t be able to survive it this time.

Maybe I am better off alone.

Yet he couldn’t deny how very right it felt to see Abby here at the rebel camp. Or, even better, back in his rooms at the compound.

She belonged here. And his heart—his body—thought she might belong with him.

When Adam, the only male nephilim in Ruby’s group of rebels, came to a stop in front of Abby and repositioned her hips, Nate’s body tightened with primitive fury. How dare the man touch her?

Just as he was about to go charging across the room, a comforting hand squeezed his shoulder.

“Easy, brother.”

Seth stood beside him, his eyes on Adam and Abby. Waves of empathy poured from the other angel, enveloping Nate like a warm, comforting embrace.

“The instinct to protect is so strong when we first meet our mate,” Seth continued softly.

Nate opened his mouth to protest that Abby wasn’t his mate, but the words wouldn’t come.

Yet, she wasn’t. Not yet, and not for certain.

Was she?

“Besides…” Seth’s lips gave a wry twist. “You don’t have to worry about Adam.”

Nate caught the irony in his brother’s tone. He didn’t have to worry about Adam…because the man was in love with Seth’s estranged mate, Lily.

How he would have liked to reassure Seth that things would work out between him and Lily, but he couldn’t.
