* * *

Van had all night (or at least the hours when not in a healing sleep) to consider what he must do. In a room fittingly dedicated to children, he had spent those long lonely hours staring at the man he could have become, the one that was even now sleeping his life away. He did not know the Were Tiger’s name but had been told enough to know that the chances of the Were ever awaking were minimal.

Van had stared and thought…and thought some more. And as the sun had risen, bringing the first light into his makeshift infirmary, he had come to a decision…and a very painful realization. He was to blame, if only partially, for the situation he and his aunt found themselves in. And that knowledge hurt his heart more than the arrow he had so recently burned from his back.

He’d had brushes with mortality before—his fingers moved to the white that tinged his forelock, its presence shrinking with his prolonged exposure to the power that suffused the house—but never as close as this. And never had there been such a risk to his Queen should he fall. He had been rescued by a mere slip of a girl, one not fully in her power. One that seemed destined to be Queen. Cate’s bravery had forced him to look more closely at his own life and to what he could do to lessen his aunt’s jeopardy. And what he had found both shamed and intrigued him.

Cate’s father, the Prince, was not the only one capable of breeding a viable heir, one able to wield the power the seven realms needed. Van was the Queen’s sister’s son and of her line. But few females in the Otherworld were of the caliber needed. And he had found his heart unmoved by all of them. They had been well and good for dalliances but not worthy of bearing a future queen. And of course he had not wanted to give up his freedom…had not thought it necessary until recently.

Obviously, his aunt thought otherwise. She was here risking her life and the future of their realm to ask a girl they knew little of to come back with them. And that was as much his fault as his cousin’s. It was time that he demoned-up as it were and took one for the team. It was time that he took a mate…and begat a few hellions.

Van had never considered looking past his own realm, past his own kind. Until days ago, he had not known that offspring with another species could wield their powers so well. Cate still had a great deal of growing to do, but she proved that this world had potential. His possible pool of selection had just gotten much larger.

And he knew the exact woman to assist him.

As if conjured by his thoughts, Helena Delacy stepped into the room, and his eyes locked on her. Though others might think otherwise, he could tell the redheaded guardian was mated.
