"They'll be out for a while," Ethan Hale observed from the witness gallery. He watched as his fellow member of The Coalition rested contentedly with his mate.

"We've done our witness duty," his brother Rory agreed. "Time to go kick some fallen ass."

Ethan agreed. They had work to do. He and his three brothers had only gone to witness the mating because Adare was a friend and he had requested their presence, knowing the brothers could watch without being affected.

The erotic mating did nothing for any of the four Hale brothers and it was nothing more than a favor and a duty for a five hundred year old vampire like Ethan. All of the brothers had passed the age of one hundred long ago, and watching a mating was just a painful reminder that none of them were likely to ever find their mates. Not that Ethan had mentioned that to Adare. It was considered an honor to be asked to attend a mating and he would never admit that it somehow bothered him on something other than a physical level.

Ethan was happy for Adare...but he felt a twinge of loneliness. Most of the members of The Coalition had joined the fighting force because they had never found their mate. They figured if they didn't have a mate, they could at least help to defeat the fallen.

"It could still happen, you know," his brother Liam commented, feeling Ethan's sadness. Liam was a healer…a sensitive.

Ethan shrugged, sure his time had come and gone. He had accepted it. Somehow, his mating opportunity had passed. He was five hundred years old, way too ancient to suddenly run into his mate.

His brother Nathan smirked at Liam. "Maybe for you, little brother. Definitely not for me."

Ethan knew that Nathan hid behind his sarcasm and cynicism, so he didn't comment. Watching a mating was a painful reminder for all of them that they had probably somehow missed their opportunity for a mate.

It was a miracle for Adare, finding his mate at the age of three hundred. All of the Hale brothers were Adare's elders.

Ethan tried to push the loneliness deep inside of him where it usually rested, undisturbed and unacknowledged.

"I'm out of here. I need to track a fallen." Nathan disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving his brothers behind.

"I hate it when he does that," Liam commented on a soft sigh as he faded out, tracking Nathan's trail.

Rory followed immediately, eager to catch up with his brothers. "Catch ya later, Ethan," Rory's voice sounded distant as he too disappeared.

Ethan took one last look at the sleeping couple. "Rest well, my friend."

He pulled his eyes away and vanished, trying to leave his restless feelings behind him.
