“You do understand dying here today won’t make Alisha respect you any more, right.”

Chloe’s soft voice somehow easily cut through the din of the fight crowd.

“Don’t you think you’ve already done enough?” Rafe asked his ex. But it was hard to really snap at Chloe, considering this version of her, while still very pretty, was also, judging by the grey streak in her hair and the many running through Fenris’s mane of red, at least a few years older than him. “I don’t want to talk about this with you.”

“Well, I’m the only one here other than Alisha who speaks modern English, and no matter what happened between us, I will always consider you my best friend. So maybe you should talk to me.”

He shook his head, fighting the nostalgic pull that had made them such constant companions until the day the Viking showed up. Chloe had always been so easy to talk to, about the pressures of growing up an alpha, about wolf culture, about everything, save Alisha.

“What’s there to talk about? She took our baby and tried to get our mateship annulled without so much as leaving a note. She’s selfish, and she’s—”

“She was also young and scared.” Chloe peered up at him. “It’s hard for she-wolves, you know. Especially intelligent ones like Alisha. It’s hard to spend years making your own decisions, then have someone come along and turn your world upside down.”

“Maybe for you, but she was raised to this purpose. All of her life she knew she would be mated for the good of her kingdom.”

“Being raised to something isn’t the same as being okay with it.”

“So you’re saying being mated to me is the worst thing that could happen to a wolf like Alisha?”

“No, of course not,” Chloe answered. “You know, if I hadn’t been fated for Fenris, I would have happily married you. You’re a really great guy, caring and smart, and loyal. But Alisha hasn’t had much of a chance to see that side of you.”

Her mate, Fenris, came to stand beside her. This had been another surprise for Rafe. When he and the portal keeper had made their way down the mountain after an awkward, mostly pantomimed conversation about who Rafe was and why he was here, they’d come upon Fenris headed up the mountain toward them. The last time Rafe had spoken directly to Fenris, the alpha king had been handcuffed to a hospital bed and threatening to kill him for daring to kiss Chloe, the Viking wolf’s fated mate.

But this Fenris had to be at least ten years older than the Fenris he’d met. And this Fenris actually seemed happy to see him, greeting him with great cheer and saying in halting English. “I thought you come. I say to Chloe you will come here. She do not believe.”

Now, while waiting for the fight to begin, Fenris gave Rafe an up and down look of appraisal and then he must have telepathically communicated something to Chloe, because she said, “He’s asking if you’ve tried communicating with Alisha.
