Chapter Eleven

Lera watched Kori stride into the living room. He moved with such power and grace she had a hard time tearing her gaze away. The fact he was hers was still hard for her to believe. But, he’d always been special to her, and she never feared he would hurt her. And, as an added bonus, the sex was more than she could have imagined.

‘Are you okay, Kori?’

She met his eyes, and her insides melted when he sent her a wink and a smile. Adric nudged her hand, and she rubbed his head. Her father looked at her, and in the depths of his eyes, she could read of his love for her. Never had she expected her life to be like this and so full of love. Growing up as Dane’s daughter had been full of love but this was different. She had not only Dane, but also Adric, her vaj, and Kori. Her mate.

“Come with me, Valera. Time for us to talk,” Dane said.

Immediately, she got to her feet and went with him outside. Silent, they walked across the open field to the lake, Adric padding easily beside her. On the far side, Dane stopped and shoved his hands in his pockets. For the first time in her life, her father appeared old to her.

“I’m sorry, Lera.”

She frowned. “Daddy? What do you mean? You have nothing to be sorry for.”

“Yes, I do.” He looked at her. “I should have understood your pain and realized what was going on.”

Wrapping her arms around him, Lera said, “How were you supposed to know? Please don’t blame yourself. The Haikon had become stories and legend. It’s new for all of us, but it worked out. It’s okay. I’m okay.”

His arms closed about her. “I’m so proud of you, daughter.” He kissed the top of her head before setting her back a bit so they could have eye contact. “And I don’t care how old you are, if you ever think of forfeiting your life or doing something like that again, I’ll ground you for the remainder of your days. And kick the ass of that man of yours for going along with the idea.” His voice gruff.

“I love you, too, Daddy.” Not even questioning how he’d known her plans for it’s what he did as an Enforcer…well, not all he did, but a portion.

“I mean it, Lera. You mean everything to not just me but the whole family. You are my daughter and therefore always more important than my own life.” His arms tightened again. “I don’t know what I would have done if I’d lost you.”

Tears gathered in her eyes.

‘Vaj. We can’t tarry long. Our kind needs our help.’

“Daddy, what do you know about the Haikon?”

He stepped away from her. “An ancient race. Persecuted violently and ruthlessly. They began denying their gifts in order to live but that was also a death sentence.”

That was basically what Adric had told her.

“Are there more Haikon nearby?” Dane glanced to Adric with that question.
