KATRINA STILL COULDN’T BELIEVE what had happened.

She didn’t know what was better, the fantasy world where things had been peaceful, but she wasn’t sure Ares could protect her from what was coming, or the real world where they’d been in danger and Ares had saved them, revealing he was some kind of monster in the meantime.

Well. Not monster exactly. She didn’t know what to think. The men who had tried to kidnap them had guns, but none had used them as efficiently or ruthlessly as Ares.

Who was he, and why was killing so easy for him? Had he killed before? How many times?

She just couldn’t imagine it. Not the fun, easygoing man with the sparkling green eyes and the most amazing kisses. Not the man who let Mac ride on his shoulders and who Mac was beginning to see as a father figure.

She’d managed to cover Mac’s ears as tight as she could, yelling over the gunshots to disguise the noise. She appreciated Ares’s warning to do so.

But even his voice had been so different. So cold, so calculated.

Those men had never stood a chance.

A part of her was reassured by that. Another part was terrified.

The man driving now, who was calm and collected as if nothing had happened, wasn’t the man she’d gotten to know.

What other secrets was he keeping?

But as her heart rate returned to normal and she realized she and Mac were fine thanks to him, she comprehended just what a close call they had. If Ares hadn’t been who was, they would have been in huge trouble.

Perhaps when he’d made those promises to protect her, he made them having a lot more information than she did.

She truly didn’t doubt him on that now.

But she also couldn’t make her idealized view of him as the perfect, gentle guy next door return.

When they stopped in front of Maude’s, she came running out, her hand over her mouth and tears in her eyes. Ares stepped out and opened the door, holding Mac and handing him to Maude, who cooed over him and waited for Katrina to climb out.

“I heard. Oh, Ares, when I heard what happened…”

“We need to get somewhere safe,” he said, lifting Kat out of the passenger seat and ignoring her feeble protest. It did still feel good to be in his arms, and she wasn’t sure her legs would work if she tried to stand anyway.

“Okay,” Maude said. “Your place?”

“Yes, will you come with us? I want to know you’re safe as well. There’s no telling if they know you’re involved or not.”

“I’m coming all right,” Maude said, getting into the back of the truck with Mac.

Ares lifted Kat into the passenger’s seat and they pulled out of the driveway. Maude was still cooing to Mac, who was finally able to giggle at something she said, making Kat share a relieved look with Ares.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to keep secrets from you. Well, I guess I did, but only because I didn’t want you to know that about me until you had to.
