Chapter Five

Tomas wasn’t sure if racing out into a blizzard to help an unknown entity that could very well be drawing them into danger was what he’d had in mind in all the years he’d dreamt of finding his mate. But he’d also never imagined the one made for him would be a Christmas Angel, so nothing seemed out of the realm of possibility. He’d felt how much Holly needed to help the mysterious voice in her head and decided if it meant that much to her, then it was important to him.

She’d been so cute trying to leave without him. He’d almost laughed out loud. But then knowing what he already knew about his amazing mate, Tomas wondered if she could’ve actually slipped by him. She was older and had an ancient strength rivaling his own. Life was going to be an adventure with his sweet Holly, one he looked forward to with complete abandon.

Racing up the mountain side by side was exhilarating. For the first time he felt a real partnership growing, as well as her belief in their relationship. They reached an outcropping several hundred feet under the top mountain mere seconds before the enigmatic creature they were rushing to aid again cried out. Tomas knew they were close by the sheer volume and presence of noise in his head. He was also immediately aware that his shields had been blown wide open.

“What the hell was that?” Jace, Royce, Liam and Lance, all members of his Force, demanded in unison.

“Wish I knew,” was the only answer Tomas could give his brethren.

“Feels off somehow,” Rayne joined the conversation.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought, too,” he answered, trying to keep the existence of his mate a secret, at least until Holly was more comfortable with their relationship.

“That’s what you thought? Or what ‘your angel’ thought?” Royce was quick to ask.

His brethren laughed while he attempted to come up with an explanation but Holly was just too quick. “His angel, huh? That still remains to be seen.” The other Guardsmen howled at her response, but she wasn’t done embarrassing him yet. “Besides, he’s a young’un. I kinda feel like a cradle robber.”

The roar of laughter was deafening but the smile on her face made it all worthwhile. Her cautious acceptance warmed him through and through. He couldn’t even feel the wind or snow beating his body as they climbed the last few yards to the pinnacle of the mountain. Holly teasing him right along with his brethren was great. Life just didn’t get much better.

“I guess introductions are in order. Holly, this is the guys. Guys, this is Holly.”

“Hi, guys!” Holly joked, taking his extended family’s inopportune appearance in stride.

“Hey, Holly!” they all responded, still laughing so hard it was a little difficult to make out their words.

Royce was the first to gain a modicum of composure. “And so it begins. Your life will never be the same.”

Tomas chuckled. “Wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“Yep, he’s a goner.” Jace and Liam laughed in unison, but it was his Commander who got right back to business.
