his shoulders
toward his brother. At any other time Sage was laid back when it came to girls,
but for some reason, he knew anything Sage had to say to him about Cora was
only going to cause a fight between them right now.
    “She’s trouble is who she is. Trust me on this, you don’t
want to be a part of that prophecy crap.” Sage paced back and forth, as he
warned his brother away from Cora. Liam knew Sage didn’t know that Cora and he
had already realized they were mates, and there was nothing that would tear
them apart now, but that didn’t stop him from tensing up at his brother’s
words.
    “Sage,” Liam began. “It’s too late for that.” He was trying
to put a stop to this before it became an all-out war between them. He loved his
brother very much, but they would fight if Sage continued trying to warn him
away from Cora.
    Sage’s bright blue eyes flew up to examine Liam’s face with
intense scrutiny. “ She’s your mate?” he questioned Liam, his voice
rising in astonishment.
    “Yeah,” Liam replied, looking into the kitchen. He was
enjoying watching her move around in a more comfortable manner now that she’d
relaxed a bit.
    “How long have you known?” Sage asked with resignation in
his voice. He knew better than to try to fight when someone’s found their mate.
It never ended well. Noticing Sage backing down, Liam relaxed his stance in
relief.
    “I was lead on the team sent in to extract her and Viola
from the Kilpatrick’s yesterday,” Liam replied. “I realized it a few hours
later when I touched her hand and felt the electrical current that ran between
us for a second time, the first was at the Kilpatrick’s house, and I didn’t see
it for what it was then. She just realized it this morning, right before you
interrupted us.”
    “Oh, wow,” Sage said, exhaling in a loud huff. “Well, I
guess I’d better go make nice with my soon-to-be sister-in-law.” He shook his
head as he headed back toward the kitchen. He stopped before Liam and looked
him square in the eyes. “Congrats man. I really mean that.”
    “Thanks bro. I know you do. Now, we just need to keep her
safe and pray the others find her sister before it’s too late,” Liam said. Sage
could hear the clear worry in his voice that he had kept hidden from Cora.
    “Have you heard anything?” Sage asked, his military training
kicking into gear.
    “No. Thomas called the house and told me to get her out of
there, to someplace I knew for a fact was safe, because they thought there
would be another attack on the house with most of the security out searching
for Viola. When the car arrived for us, the guard who went out to verify the
identities of the occupants was gunned down, so we were taken out via the
emergency exit. I have had no contact with them since.” Liam let out his breath
in a huff, when he finished catching Sage up on the situation at hand.
    “Let me see what I can find out for you. I have plenty of
contacts who will get me information in a very discreet manner. Just give me a
couple of hours max,” Sage said, as he clapped his brother on the back. He
turned away from the kitchen and headed back toward his room. Liam nodded,
though Sage wasn’t looking, and walked back into the kitchen.
    “Hey you,” he said. He guessed she wasn’t expecting him back
because she jumped about a mile high, as the dish she was holding flew out of
her hand and shattered in the sink.
    “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to break that, you just
startled me!” Cora exclaimed reaching out to start gathering broken shards of
the dish from the sink.
    “Don’t worry about it Cora, let me help you with that. Careful,
I don’t want you to get cut.” Liam moved to her side and began to help clean up
the mess.
    “I really am sorry Liam. Please don’t be angry with me,”
Cora pleaded, as she dropped chunks of glass into the trash can under the sink.
    “Please stop apologizing. You did nothing wrong, so why
would I be angry?” Liam
