Chapter 8

Maxx

“She is pretty damn mad at you,” Landon comments, crossing his arms as I watch Aura walk out of the meeting room. I know I’ve pissed her off, as part of being her mate means I can just about feel her emotions. If we connected more, which she isn’t ready for, I could read her emotions like my own. Now I just get a trickle, and right now there is nothing but anger.

I only want to protect her, god dammit.

“Freckles will see it is all worth it in the end,” I mutter.

“I doubt it, both of you are as stubborn as each other. Maxx, honestly, she wants to fight at your side. That isn’t a bad thing, but you can’t stop her from fighting. She is the true light as much as you are,” he reminds me of that fact I don’t like to admit. Admitting that she is the true light with me means she is in as much danger as I am, and I cannot lose her.

“But she is also my mate. If anything happened to her—”

“You wouldn’t let that happen, and she isn’t exactly weak.” He pauses and shakes his head at me. “Let her get revenge for what happened in the mountain and for her father. Let her finish this war with you, brother, because Ura needs that.”

We don’t talk about what happened in the mountain often or at all. It’s hard for Landon to even mention it in passing; he walks out of meetings that discuss that part of our past. I know it’s just as hard for Aura to talk about it, and I know Landon is struggling with his own war. I may not like Cameron, but he is good for my brother. I’d have killed him otherwise.

“That would mean admitting I’m wrong to her,” I say, half joking.

“You must love her to be considering it at all,” Landon grins.

“How are you, Lan?” I ask, and he smiles at me.

“Better. Cameron is teaching me how to not fear my powers or who I am now. I will figure it out, but with him at my side, it is a little easier,” he tells me, and I like to hear that. I needed my brother to be pulled out of the darkness that was swallowing him.

“I’m happy for you,” I tell him, and I slowly move to rest my hand on his shoulder. He tenses up, but he doesn’t push me away like he usually does. We have come a long fucking way since the mountain and the horrors that Okeken did in it. “Did you speak with Aliana? I saw how upset she was when she passed me.”

“Yeah,” Landon grumbles. “I told her the truth. I would always protect her, but I could never love her the way she wants. Ali asked me to stay away from her for a while, and I’m going to do that. I just hope she finds a way to move on and find her place here. She seems so lost.
