It took a week before Aden was allowed to fly. Even then, the doctor hadn’t approved his quick exit from the hospital. In Aden’s opinion, he’d already taken a week too long. He hated hospitals, doctors, and nurses even, to be fair. Anyone whose idea of a good job involved stabbing him with needles obviously had serious sadistic issues. His last nurse unnervingly resembled a torturer Aden had been unfortunate enough to spend some time with.

Suppressing a shudder, Aden looked out the window and watched the endless white of the cloud cover floating below him. He wondered how Gallen was doing. He’d missed the sorcerer while he’d been gone. He probably should’ve made a phone call, but surely Carey would’ve told Gallen about Aden’s imminent return.

Aden sighed. Already the relationship was complicated, and they didn’t even technically have one. Gallen might consider Aden his mate, but Aden still had reservations about their future. He didn’t like sorcerers as a species. They trapped their mates to be mindless zombies. Gallen might be different, but from what Aden had learned, Gallen’s father had brainwashed him for years. He wondered how much emotional damage the older sorcerer had done to his son. He’d have to talk to Gallen and explain how they couldn’t work as a couple. Aden’s heart ached for the young man, but what kind of future did they have? Aden would die in a few more decades, barring getting himself killed before then. Even with his retirement, Aden didn’t foolishly believe his handlers would leave him completely alone to go fishing or some shit like that. They’d give him a few months before they began sniffing around again. Aden knew his skills weren’t easy to find.

Not to mention his enemies wouldn’t magically disappear because Aden decided to quit. They’d still hunt him when they could, and although Carey and his friends could protect themselves, he had no idea about Gallen’s abilities. How could he endanger his mate like that? Maybe if he avoided the final bonding, they could live separate lives. His heart ached a bit at that thought, but he refused to back down. He’d do the right thing and let Gallen go.

His resolve lasted up to the minute he arrived at the airport and spotted Gallen standing on the other side of the security area.

Oh, crap.

“Hey,” Aden approached the sorcerer slowly, not sure of the proper greeting for almost mates. Besides, it might not be the smoothest line ever, but being able to speak to the beautiful sorcerer was an achievement in itself.

Gallen’s eyes lit up at the sight of Aden, but his mouth remained in a straight line. “You didn’t call me,” he said in a flat tone.

Aden froze. “I don’t usually contact people while I’m out.”

“You called Carey.” Gallen’s eyes narrowed with accusation.

“He’s my son.” Years of habit had him automatically calling his son when he was out in the field. “I always call him.”

Gallen sighed. “I didn’t mean not to call Carey. It just would’ve been nice if you’d at least sent me a text.
