And then she manages a smile. "After the water heater, exploding a bomb in her face was easy."
Leonora draws close with a plate in one hand and her other arm around Remo. "Brie, I think we managed to summon Romulus to you, but I'm not sure how all this will affect the curses on you and Cayden. Without the cult feeding the dark spirits, I think they'll fade pretty quickly."
"The cult's not here to direct them anymore," Brett says, heaping food onto his plate. "Sis and I will keep them off both of you until they fade."
"I thought you two were going to go your own way?" I ask. "You're free if that's what you want."
Everly shakes her head at Brett in a knowing manner. "The pack needs to stay together."
Cayden's jaw drops as he watches her. "Everly? Don't tell me you and Brett--"
I pinch my mate on the arm and he responds by wrapping his arms around me, lifting me, and twirling me in a happy circle.
"What is with you?" I joke as he sets me down.
"I feel a thousand times better?" Cayden asks, putting on a pouty face. "The curse must be gone or mostly gone." It's as if a curtain of darkness has lifted from both of us, and we can completely see each other for the first time.
"Get a room," Everly says, rolling her eyes.
We all laugh.

"Do you think the Savages will just fade like the dark spirits will?" I ask, leaning on Cayden the next day.
We ride a tram together through Rome, separated from the rest of the group. The city is different now that we're not on a mission. Beauty surrounds us and the sun lights fluffy white clouds in a perfect sky. We're on vacation so we might as well enjoy it while we're here.
Cayden tickles my bare shoulder as I lay over his arm. "Maybe. Now that the cult isn't calling Romulus anymore, we have a good chance against them. They might keep existing for a while, but we have the edge now." He kisses me on the cheek. "And no curses to keep us back."
Since we sit in the back, I run my finger down Cayden's chest, tracing the outlines of his perfect muscles. "And we have a private room tonight, too," I whisper in his ear. The connection between us crackles again as I think of later. We'll be in our own hotel, too, away from the rest of the pack. Privacy. Glorious, golden privacy at last, and no one will be trying to rip us apart.
Cayden presses his lips to my ear. "I can't wait. And you know what? I can't wait to get home and get back to normal."
"Normal? We don't have that."
"Well, we're going to find out what our normal is before too long."
"I hope." And this time, I have reason because our struggles finally meant something in the end. This is the true meaning of being Noble. And Cayden and will have a bright future together.
