Keir stepped into the kitchen and found Rhia staring at him expectantly. “So, your father can teleport? Is he a god, too?”

“Maybe in his mind. He’s from another planet. In fact, another solar system.” He braced himself for another battle.

“Of course he is. And that would make our kid, what? A quarter alien?” Rhia pulled her hair free of the scrunchy she’d worn all day, ran her hands through her long blonde strands, and let her head fall back. “I could really use a drink to hear that story, but you don’t have any alcohol. I looked. Maybe we could hold off after I get some sleep?”

Her gaze conveyed a weariness he hated seeing in his mate. They may have been together less than a day, but all his senses were attuned to her well-being. He’d do whatever was necessary to make her happy.

“Before we call it a night, I’d like to kiss you.” Keir rolled the dice.

Either she’d become used to his sudden changes of subject or she, too, wanted some kind of physical contact to ease their mutual ache. Her expression didn’t give away what his request made her feel.

“So, now you think you’re some kind of prince that can change my mind with a magic kiss or something? None of this feels real, Keir. The demons, your father, your brethren in a castle in Scotland and being about to use portals. You realize how unbelievable all of this is, right? One kiss is not going to change my mind.”

"Oh, Rhia. This is as real as it gets. But none of those things matter. You are my mate. No one can change that. I knew it ten years ago. I know it now.”

Tears filled her eyes. Keir held himself back. He wanted her to want him.

She raised her chin, defiance and skepticism in her eyes. “Look at me. Do you see a fated mate who you can’t live without, or do you see a gullible witch with powerful potions that will get rid of your enemy? What makes me so special?”

“You want to know what I see, Rhia? Let me tell you."

Moving toward her, he got as close to her as possible without touching. "When I look at you Rhia, I see a desirable woman, curves in all the right places. Long, silky hair you shamefully hide in a ponytail. And your eyes Rhia, they call to me the most. Reaching me here.” He brought his hands over his heart. “Where no woman ever has. And equally important, I see a woman who stands up to me, challenges me. It’s not just your potions, it’s the woman smart enough, talented enough to create them. All of that combined excites me and confirms you are the other half of my soul."

Dipping his head within inches of her sweet lips, he whispered. "You are mine Rhia, and I’m yours. We will carry out this prophecy and we will get past our differences. I vow it. Since that night you ran from me, did you know I've had visions of you? I've had them for the past ten years, Rhia.
