Epilogue

Lian heaved a sated sigh as Sage ran a brush through his hair.

He’d protested when she’d pulled on her clothes and grabbed the brush his grandmother had left behind. He wanted another few hours of having her naked and sweaty beneath him, but he couldn’t argue with her point that the clinic wasn’t the most private place to indulge his endless lust for his mate.

In a few hours the Healers would be satisfied he was strong enough to leave and he intended to choose one of the empty cabins that was on the opposite side of the Wildlands from his family home.

Once he had Sage alone he was going to lock the door and throw away the key.

Until then he had to be satisfied with the feel of her hands running through his hair as she pulled it into a braid.

Savoring her soft touch and the lemony scent that clung to his skin, Lian scowled as a sharp knock intruded into their peaceful silence.

“Go away,” he snapped.

The door was shoved open to reveal Raphael, who was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt despite the fact his wounds hadn’t fully healed.

Lian tensed, a sudden anger racing through him as he caught sight of the male’s bleak expression.

Dammit.

They’d just survived yet another attempt by Shakpi to commit genocide.

Hadn’t they earned a few centuries of peace and quiet?

“I have news,” the leader of the Suits announced.

“Do you want me to leave?” Sage asked, already moving off the bed.

“No, you’re pack now.” Lian wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her tight against his side. “Our business is your business.”

She stiffened, as if waiting for Raphael to deny her right to be at Lian’s side.

Of course he didn’t.

Sage was pack.

“He’s right,” Raphael said with a simple honesty. “You belong to us.”

Feeling Sage relax against his side, Lian focused his attention on his friend.

“What’s wrong?”

“We had word from Mercier and Rosalie’s kidnappers.”

A growl rumbled in Lian’s chest.

So they had been taken by the enemy.

“Bastards,” he ground out. “Did you inform them that their goddess has abandoned them?”

“Yes.”

Lian narrowed his eyes. “And?”

A sudden heat filled the air as Raphael struggled to contain his fury.

“And their demands have nothing to do with Shakpi.”

“Then what the hell do they want?” Lian asked. Without their evil goddess to give them a purpose, he’d expected them to slink into the shadows. “Money?”

“No.” Raphael’s expression was hard as stone. “An exchange for one of our prisoners.”

An icy chill of premonition inched down Lian’s spine.

“Who?”

Raphael clenched his hands, the name coming out like a curse.

“Hiss.”
