Chapter 26

It had turned out that us menfolk were not welcome in the hot tub, or even in close proximity to it. So the men had retreated back near the balcony, leaving the girls to care for mama werewolf. Before we’d been booted out, I had heard Pandora mention that the pool might help with Ashley’s vision injuries, so that was a plus.

I had taken Gunnar’s gauntlets from my satchel—having forgotten to include them in the pile of armor Grimm had taken away for me—and returned them to him. My style of fighting wasn’t conducive to freaking armor, and I wanted to give Gunnar every shred of added protection I could, because he didn’t stand a chance against Thor, even as strong as he was. And whether I liked it or not, I knew Gunnar was going to stick by my side, wanting to go wherever the fighting was the most dangerous.

Which was a problem. My primary goal was to make sure he made it home to see his kids when this was all said and done. I knew Gunnar’s boost in strength and sight—thanks to his spectral wolves—would only last twenty-four hours, so time was of the essence.

Gunnar wasted no time putting the gauntlets back on with a satisfied growl. I would let him fantasize to his heart’s content, but I would be the one to put Thor into the ground. Gunnar could piss on Thor’s ashes for all I cared.

I hadn’t wanted to leave without getting an update on Ashley, so my patience was very thin. I figured Alex and Talon were already waiting for me in the Sanctorum, and I desperately wanted to hear what they had learned about the Knightmares in St. Louis. What they were up to and if we needed to prepare a defense for Chateau Falco.

So, left to our own devices, we had done what men do best—we’d been arguing and drinking. Well, I had been arguing with Odin. Drake and Cowan had wisely chosen not to get involved in the conversation, focusing instead on their drinks.

Gunnar, of course, was doing neither. Instead, he was pacing back and forth, punching his armored fist into his armored palm each time he turned around—his thoughts solely for his wife, and maybe skinning Thor alive. Clang! Step-step-step-step-step-step-step. Clang! If I tried very hard, I could almost see the two wolves curled up on the floor beside Gunnar, sleeping on the job. It wasn’t like they had much else to do. They were just batteries for Gunnar right now. And eyeballs, however that worked.

I wondered if I was able to share my powers like Odin had with Gunnar. That would be incredibly helpful. Then again, I wasn’t a god, so I doubted it. Pandora’s comment about no longer being able to read my mind haunted me for some reason, but I banished it.

I turned away to glance around the open room, avoiding looking out at the sand swept desert beyond the balcony. It made me feel uneasy to stare out there.
