Kalen could feel the tension in his neck and shoulders as Aric guided the plane to a stop on the private

runway they’d appropriated for their trip. He’d sworn he’d never return and here he was. Back in home-

sweet-prison.

Except for Grandma. She’d been the sole positive influence in his life, and without her, he’d quickly

become lost. Until Mackenzie.

There was no doubt that his mate drove the darkness back. In spite of Malik’s terrible hold over him,

his mate’s was much stronger. She was what Sariel had meant by opening himself to light and love—all

along, it had been Mackenzie.

Still, he worried about something happening to shatter their fragile new bond. That it could be

crushed like a flower in a hurricane, simply swept away on a tide of cruel fate. He wasn’t being

paranoid. It had happened before, the loss of his happiness, his soul. If it happened again, he could

become a slave to his own darkness, never to see the light again.

“Welcome to Mayberry,” Aric quipped, bringing the jet to a stop. “Jesus, what do people do for fun

around here? Knit afghans?”

“Yep. When the old folks are feeling really rebellious, they throw money in the pot for the Bingo winners. And I’m not exaggerating.” His three companions snickered, and he smiled at the memory of

Grandma boasting of her big score.

“Hammer would be right at home,” Ryon observed as they disembarked. “He could start a knitting

circle since everyone knows he’s really a little old lady in disguise.”

Nick laughed. “Don’t let him hear you say that. He swears by the pastime, says it helps him relax.”

Ryon arched a dusky brow. “Dude, I can think of better ways to relax that don’t involve yarn.

Seriously, somebody needs to take that boy under his wing.”

“That boy,” Nick drawled, “lived so deep undercover for so many years he almost lost himself. He’s dined with drug lords, walked the edge with homeland terrorists, and has taken out more dangerous

criminals than the four of us combined. If he wants to live a quiet life while off duty, then leave him be.”

Interesting. Kalen had often wondered about the big man, and the glimpse into his past made him

even more curious. But now wasn’t the time to dig. They’d come here for a reason, and the knowledge

brought him back to reality.

A dark SUV was waiting for them on the tarmac, keys under the driver’s floor mat. Ryon took the

wheel and Nick called shotgun, leaving Kalen in the back. With Aric. Who eyed him before settling in,

unbelievably, without a single snarky comment. In fact, when he did open his mouth, what came out

was pretty damned decent.

“This thing with your folks, man, it ain’t shit. You’re gonna wrap up that part of your life, put it

behind you. We’ve got your back. Remember that.”

Their truce was uneasy, but it seemed to be holding. Kalen doubted they’d ever be BFFs, and the

man took some getting used to, but he was all right. “Thanks. I appreciate it,” he said, and meant it.

The ride was uneventful, and he checked out the town as they drove past the square.
