Brick rolls us onto our sides, his arms tightly wrapped around me, our bodies still connected intimately.

“Thank you,” he breathes against my neck.

“I love you,” I repeat.

Brick relaxes.

It’s true. All this time, I was holding back, trying to defend myself against love. I was afraid of getting hurt by Brick. Except newsflash–he’s already hurt me. He probably will again. That is the nature of loving someone. It isn’t always butterflies and sex on a beach.

It’s time to admit I’m all-in with Brick.

But we can’t go on as we are. I’m not going to stay Brick’s dirty little secret. So he’ll need to figure that out if he wants to keep me. But that conversation can wait until later. Right now, I have questions.

“Were those wolves from the Adalwulf pack?”

“Yes.” Brick holds me closer, as if one of them might barge in and snatch me away right now.

“Why did they have demon eyes?”

Brick growls. “Witchery. My father discovered that Odin drugs his enforcers to make them big, vicious, and stupid. The side effects are the red eyes.”

“Oh. Crazy.”

He eases back, so he can see my face. “Tell me what happened. They came to the island?”

“Yes.” I gasp and sit up. “Your mom! They nearly killed her. She fought to protect me.”

Brick stiffens. “My mom was there?”

“Yes.” I hold his gaze. “I sent for her. I needed to understand your world.”

He stabs his fingers through his hair. “That explains how they found you.”

“It wasn’t because she told them. She defended me. Brick–they were going to cut off her head with a machete!”

Some of the color drains from Brick’s face. “What?”

“That’s what I’m telling you. She was going to die to protect me. Ariadne showed us to the safe room, but your mom stayed out to fight. The only reason they got to me is because I opened the door–against her wishes–to keep them from killing her.”

Brick’s chest dips, like that news hit like a blow. “You’re sure she’s alive?”

I blink. God, I hope so. “They left her when I came out. She was badly hurt but still breathing.”

Brick rolls out of the bed. I rise, still hobbling, but my ankle feels like I only wrenched it. The pain isn’t as bad as it would be if it were sprained. Brick yanks the bedspread off and wraps it around me. He opens the door and pads out, naked. “What’s happening?” he demands.

“We have Sully on a video conference. We found clothes for both of you.” Jake offers him a pile of neatly folded clothing.

Brick ignores the clothing, so I stay at his side in my bedspread cloak. We find the kitchen where Billy, Jake and Vance huddle around a laptop, speaking to Sully on a bulky black laptop. “My mom was on the island.” He approaches the screen, and everyone falls away.

Sully bows his head. “Yes, Alpha. She’s with a shifter healer in Corfu. Forteen broken bones in her body, including four ribs.”

I cringe into Brick’s side. Jake cusses softly. That could be fatal for a human, and even with shifter healing speeding, it sounds painful.
