Fiamma was outside waiting with the other warriors for Master to take them to the Dead House when they all heard the fight between him and his mate. She knew this was serious and she asked Marcello to come with her. Perhaps if she talked to his mate, she could help somehow. She heard the lies he told her, and damn if she wanted Kate to believe that of her. Knocking on the door, Luca answered. “Luca, please, will you ask my lady if she will speak with me?”

Luca realized Fiamma and all the other warriors had overheard the argument. He didn’t know why Shade chose to tell Kate he had been with Fiamma. They all knew he had not. But Kate believed his words, so they needed to move carefully.

“Come in, but tread lightly, Fee.”

Fiamma nodded. “Understood.” Walking in, she bowed her head to Kate, who was still sitting on the stairs, and spoke softly. Fee could see she was hurt. “My lady, will you please grant me some time to speak with you? Explain some things to you. Please may I?”

Kate took a deep breath before she answered. “Say what you have come here to say.”

Fiamma sat down on one of the steps below her, so she could see her face to face. “Thank you, my lady. I know I’m the last person you want to see. I’ve never been mortal, but I’ve been in love. At its core, it’s a lot of work. Throw in all the confusion of our world and I imagine it’s much worse. I come in peace. Master Shade didn’t tell you the truth.” She held up her hands. “Please, I know you don’t believe me, but you can ask Luca, Marcello, or any of the other. They know. I’m a sister here, not a rival or a threat to anyone, including you.”

Fiamma shook her head. “Trying to understand any man is hell, and master, that’s a whole other issue. I don’t know why he would say those things to you. I’ve never been with Master Shade. I’m a Medici warrior. I respect and honor him, and those he loves. If any of my sisters in the camp were to behave as he said, we would no longer be warriors, but outcasts. Believe me, when I tell you, I love master very much, but not in the way you think. We all love him. He is my brother, my father, my master, and my friend. Is there anything I can say to help you?”

Kate buried her face in her hands and the tears flowed. She looked up at Fiamma again. “I’m sorry for thinking badly of you, but I asked him outright, and you heard his words. He shared his past before, and I let it get to me. He thinks I don't trust him, but that’s not true. You understand what I mean when I try to tell him it’s women I don't trust, not him. I see how other women respond to him.
