Once we’d leveled off and were far enough away from the island, Kolton joined us. “You guys can take off your seatbelts and move around if you want. We have about a few hundred miles to the coast, where we’ll need to refuel, and then another couple hundred miles or so to our pack lands.”

The survivors mostly stayed put, but several others unsnapped their seatbelts and stretched their legs, enjoying their new freedom. Kira stood and walked closer to one of the viewports out the side. Joining her at the window, I stood behind her, watching the ocean zip by beneath us.

Finally, I leaned forward, lips close to her ear. “It took longer than I wanted, but I’m happy I got you off that damned island.”

“You got me off the island?” Kira said, turning and giving me a knowing smile. “Um, pretty sure it was actually my brother and your buddy who got us off the island. Or did I miss a step somewhere?”

“You know what I mean,” I said, poking her in the stomach.

Kira scrunched up her face. “I could say the same thing, you know. Maybe I should be glad you got off that island. I seem to remember trying to get you sent home. Then you had to be all tough and stay. The macho martyr, right? Or were you trying to impress me or something?”

I flicked her nose. “Are you still holding that over my head? You’ve got to let that go.”

“I don’t know,” Kira said, running a finger down my chest. “It’s gonna take me a while to get over how dumb that was of you.”

A retort was already forming on my lips, something to keep the banter going, but I noticed Kolton from the corner of my eyes. He was leaning against the wall of the helicopter, arms crossed. The cargo area had been enchanted in some way to keep the roar of the propellers from drowning out the conversation inside. He’d been listening to our whole flirtatious conversation.

Despite myself, heat rose to my cheeks.

Kira noticed him as well and quickly pulled her hands away from me, tucking them behind her back. We looked like a couple of teenagers who’d been caught humping in the back of a car. Would Kolton be pissed? I still remembered the goofy wrestling match we’d gotten into back in Fangmore for the mega-fans event.

Kolton’s laugh spluttered out of him. “Relax,” he said to me. “You don’t have to hide that stuff anymore. The show is over, right? Hell, Kiki confessed her love for you on live television.”

“So, uh, we’re all good?” I asked hesitantly.

“Here’s the deal,” Kolton said. “I suspected long before that confession. I think the whole world could see what was happening in every episode.” He cocked his eyebrow. “I still want to slug you in the nose for good measure, but only because that’s what brothers are supposed to do. I’m happy for you guys. Like, seriously.” He laughed and slapped me on the shoulder.
