“As far as I know,” Kai replied. “Is there a reason she shouldn’t be?”
Through the phone, Aksel sighed.
“It’s just that— “he stopped midsentence. “No, it’s fine. It’s good she’s safe. I’ll call you in a few days.”
Kai ended the call and looked over his shoulder at his sleeping mate.
Gods, but she was perfect. And now he had an eternity to tell her so each and every day.
Epilogue
Two months later
Their weekend house was nothing more than a simple, spacious beach bungalow that sat less than twenty feet from the blue green waters of the Mediterranean Sea. In a word, it was heaven.
Earlier in the morning, Kai had opened every floor-length window in the place, letting the sunrise and the sea breeze gently wake her. She knew he was gone before she opened her eyes.
He was a busy man, and she’d accepted the fact that she would occasionally have to share her mate. Husband, she corrected herself, as they’d been married once they arrived on his island a month ago.
Ember loved the fact that Kai, as an alpha, took his clan’s safety very seriously. She’d even begun assisting him in his research and accompanied him to meetings a few times. These people were her people now and after everything New Dawn had done to her and her new family, she wanted it brought down.
From Scala they’d learned what Aksel and Ember had both figured out quickly—that he was a half-breed. His mother had gotten pregnant years ago after meeting a man—one Theodoro Arkos. She’d tried to ingratiate herself into his life and begged him to turn her, but he had refused. To Kai’s father, the woman had been a dalliance and a scratch to an itch for human contact.
Rouvin, the Arkos clan learned, was one of them. And he’d been twisted over the years by a jealous mother and a power-hungry stepfather who turned his pharmaceutical company into a violent extremist organization that hunted vampires in an effort to give Malia Scala what Theodoro Arkos had denied her—immortality. Rouvin, it seems, was a pawn of his own. A violent pawn with blood on his hands, but the clan had determined if there was a way to redeem him and heal his cracked, hateful mind, they would.
It was more than she’d have given him, but with Scala firmly in Arkos’ hands, she knew it was only a matter of time before they brought New Dawn down.
Ember checked her phone for the fourth time since waking up.
She’d left her cabin in Devil’s Folly for Melody, as her younger sister wasn’t ready to come to the island with the Arkos clan yet. Ember knew it had something to do with the time Melody had spent with Aksel, because despite acting like she hated the hulking blonde vampire, Melody asked about his well-being during every conversation, all the while refusing to take phone calls from the man himself. And Aksel did little to quell her suspicions, as he was more obvious than Melody was. Something was definitely amiss between those two, but neither were ready to confide in Ember or Kai, so they’d decided to let it go until they were.
But Melody hadn’t answered her phone in two days and something felt off to Ember. Shrugging it off she set the phone down and gazed out to the calm waters before her. What had life been before this?
Ember hardly remembered.
“Sleep well?”
The deep masculine growl behind her made Ember smile. It jolted her alive from her head to her curling toes and something deep inside her made it clear that his sensation would never get old. She turned and before she could exhale the breath she’d been holding, Kai had her pinned against the side wall, her hands pinned above her head.
“How is the family?” She hissed as he raked a tongue across her jugular, teasing her with his fangs.
“Good,” Kai replied, nipping and teasing the length of her jawline while Ember writhed underneath him. “They wanted to have breakfast with us, but I told them we would see them at lunch.”
Ember frowned.
“Why? Do we have something to do this morning?” She wracked her brain, trying to remember an appointment or meeting she might have forgotten.
“We do, love,” Kai whispered against her mouth. His tongue plunged in while his claws shredded her tank top in seconds, exposing her full breasts to him. Ember yelped in surprise. “We’ve got a full morning of kissing, sucking, biting…and fucking.”
Ember let out a tortured moan as Kai dropped to his knees in front of her, treating her silk pajama shorts with the same treatment her tank top got. With an expert tongue, he dove at her, sucking and nipping at her clit, causing Ember’s knees to shake.
Gods, she loved this vampire.
