I’m not proud to say we found someone’s vacation cabin, broke into it, and set ourselves up for the night, but that’s exactly what we did. At nearly three in the morning, I’d seen a small sign about a lake up ahead and pulled over. The guys had taken a couple turns driving at that point, but we were all exhausted. Tomorrow, we’d have to face whoever the hell was guarding the relic, and I knew my stubborn men would say they were fine, but there was no way we were in shape to take on whatever force Maxen had appointed to guard something that could cost him the war on the demons.

We all take showers as Drake gets a pot of chili cooking and Emory builds up a nice fire in the fireplace. Princess goes to sniff the area around us, and I sink into the bed, glad to be clean and relaxing. Adam left the door open a crack, the last of us to shower, and he sings a song while he showers. Despite how tired we all are, I think we’re all smiling at the sound of his sweet voice.

After Emory is done staring at the fire for a while, he comes over and lays on the big bed next to me.

I can’t help it, I curl against him. He smells nice, like smoke and the piney shampoo.

“We’re going to be okay,” he says, running his fingers through my hair.

The motion draws my eye to the black streaks that are nearly to his wrist. “Are you sure?”

“Some spell isn’t going to be the thing to finally kill us. I promise you that.”

I close my eyes, wishing I could erase my memory of those black lines. “It’s not just the spell. It’s actually getting the relic, returning it, making sure the demon’s keep their end of the deal. Oh, and finding some way to be free of Maxen forever.”

He releases a slow breath. “I thought about that…”

“You have an idea?”

“Yeah,” but he doesn’t sound confident.

I open my eyes and roll so that I’m half on top of him.

His eyes open, those brilliant blue eyes of his taking my breath away. “What if we got married?”

“What?” I know I sound shocked, but I can’t help it.

“I don’t want you to feel pressured, but what if we got married in a… in a kind of public way? The prophecy would say I would be the king. Sure, Maxen could kill me and marry you after, but it might be enough to kill all this prophecy crap.”

I roll until I’m lying on my back, staring at the logs that make up the ceiling. The truth is that it logically makes sense, but all this stuff with Maxen has left a real bad taste in my mouth concerning marriage. And then there’s the fact that just a short time ago a big part of me hated Emory. It didn’t feel like I resented him, or was still angry with him, but it felt like too much was happening too fast.
