Chapter Eight

Bradi dabbed the wet cloth into the pan of cool water and wrung it out. It had been a weeks worth of revelations and worrying. It felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders when he and Nina had cleared up their differences.

All he could think about when he'd been run through with the sword was that his father would somehow get his clutches into Marisa and hand her over to Stegian.

The very mention of the vampire made him shudder. The thought of his wife being subjected to Stegian terrified him. Once he realized that his father was no longer a threat and Nina was not in league with Stegian, he concentrated on Marisa. She'd been unconscious since she'd saved his life.

Wiping Marisa's forehead gently, he felt someone touch his shoulder. He knew without looking who it was.

"Lorelei."

"Bradiainn ... Bradi. I'm sorry. I'm not used to calling you by your newfound nickname."

It felt good to hear his twin's voice. It had been so long since he'd seen her that he was almost afraid to look upon her. She'd been away when he'd awoken to find Nina at his bedside with news of Marisa's condition, negotiating with the Neatalie village and had been summoned to return. "Nina tells me that you're mated now, Lorelei."

"I am. His name is Sevan and our child grows within me as we speak."

He knew that as well. What caught his attention was the name of her mate. "Sevan Vasil?"

"Yes. Why, do you know him?" Lorelei asked.

Bradi kept his eyes trained on Marisa as he continued to try to bring her fever down. "I know of him. The Commission thinks he and his men are dead."

Lorelei was silent for a moment. "We guessed as much. No, they are all, or, almost all, alive and well. We offered them the opportunity to leave, but all wished to stay. They think of this as home now, and we're glad to have them."

Bradi nodded as he continued to wipe Marisa down. "Is Christian back yet?" He hadn't seen his childhood friend since his return and he hated to admit that he missed him. Losing Pete made him realize how precious and short his time with everyone could be.

"Not yet. He should be here by suns set. He'll be happy to see you, Bradiainn. You two aren't planning on blowing anything up again, are you?"

He laughed as he thought about the time that they'd accidentally set the kitchen on fire when they'd been ordered to help the kitchen staff as a punishment for wandering off into the forest alone. The Chieftain at the time, Christian's father, had seemed so angry with them, but when they'd rounded the corner after he yelled, they'd heard him laughing.

Lorelei squeezed his shoulder gently. "Did Nina tell you of father and Jacquelyn?"

Bradi's stomach twisted in a knot as he thought about his baby sister. Stegian had managed to completely control his father's mind and he in turn attacked his own children.
