Lucan led Sabin to a large room with a vast library at one end, and several overstuffed seats in front of a fireplace at the other. For the moment, they were alone while the others did whatever they needed.

“Will Lowan harm them?”

The pain in Lucan’s eyes tore at her. “You love them very much.” She tried hard not to let jealousy exist inside her but it was hard. She would give anything to have him love her that much.

“We all do.”

“It’s probable he will keep them in good health until I return. However, he’s unlikely to let either of them go.”

He dropped into a chair looking defeated. This dark, strong warrior of hers broke her heart, but she wasn’t about to give up on any of them. They would prevail. Failure wasn’t an option, and she knew Lucan felt the same. He was having a moment.

She knelt in front of him and placed her hands on his knees. “Do you think Hades will come?”

“He is a bit of a rebel, so most likely.”

“I’ve never met my grandfather.”

“I know it must be hard for you. Wondering why he never came for you.” He reached for her hand and entwined his fingers in hers.

“At first it was, but when Willow came, she explained everything to me. She was a good friend and I’m so happy she’s free. I hope when this is over––providing I survive––I will see her again.”

Lucan leaned forward and brought her fingers to his lips. “Do not say those words. You will survive.” He kissed her knuckles.

She closed her eyes for a moment then opened them. “Can I tell you something and you won’t think less of me?”

He tilted his head, his mouth tightened. “What do you need to confess, Sabin?”

Her mate was so quick to think the worst of her. She tried hard to understand. “I’ve dreamed of you for many years. Actually, since I was a young girl, I knew you were out there waiting for me. I also knew you needed me to save you from the dark curse my father placed on you.”

“I see, though I don’t understand why you feel that’s a confession. Many immortals have visions.”

“That’s not all.” She took in a deep breath. “I fell in love with you many years ago.” Now she waited for his reaction.

“I’m not worthy of your love, Sabin. More deserving of your hatred.”

“Why would you say that?” She didn’t like his words.

“I may have rescued you, but I also imprisoned you. There’s still a part of me that does not trust you.”

Even though she expected those words, they still stung. “What can I do to earn your trust?” she whispered.

“I’m torn. Part of me feels your thoughts and accepts you as mine. Part of me is desperate for you, wants to hold you close and never let go. But then there is my dark side. That’s the part who cannot let you all the way in. My heart is black and has room for nothing else.”

“I don’t believe that for one moment.
