“Do you think he’ll make it?” Addie leaned over Azrael’s still form and brushed the thick, dark hair back from his forehead. He lay in the big bed, his wounds bandaged, his face deathly pale. Ukopach and a few of his video-demon buddies huddled against the far wall, but Locan lay beside Az to help warm him. Jett sat on his other side, leaning against the headboard, but he kept his fingers tangled in Az’s hair. He’d already admitted to Addie that he didn’t want to let him go.

He said as much again. “He has to make it. We’ve never defied the one who runs this operation. Not once, and dammit all, but I want our choice to count.”

“Azrael matters too much to let Naburus have him. The decision to make him fight alone was unfair.” Addie raised her head and stared at Jett. “If my job is to maintain balance, then it was the right choice. Everything changed when we rescued Az.” She grinned and shook her head. “No, when he rescued us. If we lose him, our team will become unbalanced. We’ll be a less effective fighting force, and that negates our entire reason for existing. We made the right choice to help him, and Azrael has to live.”

She raised her head and shouted at the ceiling. “Did you hear that? This man has paid enough. He had to live, and we need him on our team.”

Locan raised his head. “Did you just yell at the boss?”

Folding her arms across her chest, Addie gave a single sharp nod of her head. “I did. And his answer will tell us if we really do work for the good guys.”

Jett just shook his head. “Guess you’re tellin’ him, eh, Addie?”

“I am.” She leaned over and kissed Azrael’s forehead. “We can’t lose him, Jett. He’s one of us now.”

Jett took her hand. “I know. We’re more than a team, we’re a family. And family sticks together. They protect what’s theirs.”

“Yeah.” She studied Jett for a moment, seeing him with new eyes. He’d never said much about what the three of them had become, but he was right. They were family, and Azrael, though he was the newest member, was no less loved. No less important.

Jett stretched out beside Az and tugged on Addie’s hand. Exhausted from sharing energy to heal Az, she let Jett pull her down beside him. Before long, Ukopach and his buddies joined them in the big bed, curling up beside Locan on one side, Addie and Jett on the other, and filling the empty spaces near the foot.

Addie’s last thought as she slipped into sleep was how right this felt. How good it was to love and be loved.

And how she knew she’d do everything she could to fight for the right to keep them all together.
