“In the meantime, do we trust the President?” Rhys asked.
“Do we have a choice?” Quinn responded.
Dreya gazed out the window with a moment’s unease. Their secret made them vulnerable. Once again, their lives were in Nobility’s care as it created a world ready for them … one day.
They reached the compound and after entering the house, she slipped into her bedroom for a package that had come for Simon. By the time she joined them in the kitchen, they’d already opened two bottles of wine. Rhys met her at the door with a glass.
She set the package on the table and raised her glass to Simon. “To Doctor Simon Sinclair, if it weren’t for you wanting to reclaim your medical license, we wouldn’t have just saved the world.”
The amazing reality filled him with a palpable confidence—no mind link required. “I’ll be damned if we didn’t do just that. Once upon a time, being a doctor was all I wanted in this world, and when I lost my license, I lost a part of myself.”
She pushed the package across the table at him. “Then maybe you might want to open this.”
“What do you have, princess?”
“Open it. It’s from Gertie.”
Everyone moved in as he opened the small box. He pulled out a length of string with several cards attached. “What’s this?”
“Gertie dug into Harper’s game site. She found a trail that led to one of his prescription selling pages using your doctor code. Apparently, it was his first venture, about a week after his visit to you. I’m sure it’s enough evidence to prove Harper’s culpability and to get your license reinstated.”
Simon’s mouth fell open. A wave of joy expanded from his heart and nearly bowled her over with its intensity. Tears watered her eyes, for she had more to give him. “And then there’s this. A gift from your pack.” She shot a glance at Rhys and Quinn. They nodded. She pulled a paper from her pocket and passed it to Simon.
“What’s this?” he asked as he took the paper and read it. “What?” he exclaimed. He looked up with eyes huge and his lips quivering with astonishment.
“We can’t have you limping around with a quarter mil in debt,” Quinn said.
Simon reached for a chair and sat heavily. “You paid my school loans?” He glanced from one to the next, tears pooling in his eyes.
“We got an obscene paycheck for saving the world,” Dreya said.
“And we couldn’t think of a better way to spend it,” Rhys added.
“Oh my God. You people are seriously, the best in the world,” Simon said.
A round of back slapping and hugs followed. Dreya sat back, basking in the love and connection built between her and these amazing men. For the thousandth time, she thanked Lazar.
Simon lifted his glass and announced, “To being a part of this incredible team and our adventures. It beats the hell out of being a plain old doctor.”
Laughter and beaming smiles filled everyone’s faces and their hearts. She could not conceive being any happier or more content. Her shifter family delivered a certainty in life she never imagined possible before Nobility.
Simon’s eyes sparkled and the old sadness was long gone from his aura. Quinn joined his brother in raising his glass, now no longer afraid of being part of a team. And Rhys, he winked at her and joined the toast in silent appreciation.
Their glasses were emptied and more wine poured. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it from her pocket. Seeing the White House number, she put the call on speaker.
“Yes, sir?”
“Dreya,” the President said, “I hate to bother you, but we have an incident. Can I ask your team to come in and help?”
She glanced at her men. They had set down their glasses and watched closely with eagerness in their eyes, hearts and minds. She didn’t have to ask.
“Yes, sir. We’re all yours.”
