Hyde’s bandages had been replaced, and we’d tugged his feytech skin up to cover the bottom half of his body.

A pressure settled on my chest, one that felt like goodbye. I couldn’t look at him, didn’t want to see my feelings reflected in his eyes.

I finished pulling on my boots.

“Justice?” Hyde pulled me toward him. “We can figure something out.”

“Like assassinating Orion?” I grinned wryly.

He rested his forehead on mine. “Once this is over—”

“Things will go back to the way they were before.” I looked deep into his blue-green eyes and cupped his jaw. “And I’ll love you until the day I die no matter what. No matter where we end up.”

“Listen to me, we—”

A bellow cut through the silence.

I froze.

Another bellow was followed by the clang of metal on metal.

Fuck, my blade was outside. I pushed Hyde back. “You stay here.”

The night air kissed my cheeks as I exited the tent. Fomorians fought fir bolg. Harmon and Athos battled to the right. There were too many fir bolg and not enough fomorians. We wouldn’t win this. Couldn’t. But if we could fight our way out … I reached for the shadows, calling to them. They rushed to meet me.

Fight, I willed them. Lash out and fight. Kill the fir bolg.

The shadows swirled around me, aimless and confused, before slipping away into the night.

What the fuck? No time to figure it out now.

Old school it was, then.

Hyde leaped into the fray to my right as I ran for my blade. A peripheral part of me was aware of whoops of triumph, of the clatter of hooves as more figures poured into the clearing. The hilt of my blade sat snug in my palm just as a fir bolg hurtled toward me. I brought the blade up, reveling in the jarring sensation as it struck home and lodged in flesh.

The fir bolg grunted, and blood spurted from his mouth. I yanked my blade out of his crotch, and he hit the ground with his knees. I swung hard, severing his head from his torso.

His body swayed for a second as if unsure what the fuck it was meant to do now. My boot in its chest helped it decide. It hit the ground with a soft thud, and then the silence registered.

Deathly and eerie.

The side of my face pricked in awareness, and I turned my head to see several fir bolg silent and bloody on the ground and our camp surrounded by new fomorians.

Hooded and cloaked, they stood silent and waiting. My gaze snagged on the reason why. He stood a head above them all, his body clad in leather armor, his dark eyes filled with stars as they remained locked on me.

My breath whooshed out of my lungs. Brady? I took a step forward. “Brady?” And then I was running across the camp, bridging the distance between us to wrap my arms around his neck and claim his mouth.

His lips parted beneath mine, his arms wound around my waist, and he kissed me back, deep and hungry.
