merciless.”
“You can’t control it? But I assumed the mating call originated with you.”
“Most shifters do. In reality, it is far more complicated. It comes from within the naguals themselves. It is organic in nature. The only way they can be united is by uniting their hosts. I am the only one who can read the pairings, so I create matings for shifters in this way. But that does not keep them from making their male hosts suffer when they try to resist. Evelyn, I am so afraid for Reyn. When I am close by in the ether, I can feel his nagual calling out for me.” She put her hands to her face.
Evy took her into her arms and held her. “We’ll take care of him, my Goddess. I promise you.”
Reyn waited in the solitude of the study while Akina spoke with Evy. His time with his mate always went by too fast. He was happy that everyone in the mansion knew about their mating. In truth, keeping it a secret had never felt right. He ran his hand over his newly buzzed hair. Jesus, the place had been a fucking madhouse and, with everything going on, he actually spent less time with her than usual. And this time there would be the protective instinct to deal with. He always felt it to some degree like any other mated male, but it was different now. His body was all too aware she was facing danger from realms both above and below the earth. Add that to her narrow escape of a few days ago and his insides began to churn.
Bane. The only thing he was sure of was that if she recognized him from their encounter, then it was likely he recognized her as well. The bastard knew at least her spirit still existed. Reyn knew Akina saw herself as part of the douche bag’s plan to take revenge on the other gods and nothing more. Maybe that was true. Kina was so innocent and could be so unaware of the power she held sometimes. But, as far as Reyn could see, it was far more likely that Bane had other plans for her as well. Maybe that was the voice of the mated male in his head, but he really didn’t give a shit. Keeping her safe had just shot to priority number one, and if that meant tearing Bane apart with his bare hands, then that was fine by him.
X waited outside the study with Richard, SE, and Troy to see the Goddess Akina off. Well, more like to make sure Reyn didn’t blow a gasket. She was a god and he was mated to her. X failed to see how that combo wasn’t going to create a shitstorm of consequences at some point.
The brothers waited outside the door while their leader had some time with his mate.
X looked over at his boy. “You monitoring the sitch?”
Troy nodded. “Yep. So far he’s keeping it in check.”
“Thanks for helping out with this,” Richard said.
SE smiled easily. “He’d do it for any of us in a heartbeat.”
“So, that dead house guest of yours hitting the road with the Goddess?” X asked.
SE rolled his eyes. “Are you kidding? Ana can’t even pee alone.”
Troy’s head whipped up so fast he hit it on the wall behind him. “We’re up.”
They all followed Richard in, not sure what they were in for. The Goddess was slowly dematerializing and she’d clearly been crying. Reyn let out a roar so loud the shelves of books in the study teetered back and forth. Then the HNBIC saw fit to put his fist into the wall. Twice.
SE and Richard put him in a hold from behind.
“Troy,” Richard yelled.
X watched as Troy raised his right hand and focused on Reyn.
Okaaay.
SE tightened his grip. “Fuck, Troy!”
Troy cracked his knuckles and went in for another shot.
Shit. Sometimes it was time for the biggest NB to step in. X moved forward and uppercut the dude’s jaw so hard he knocked him out cold.
Richard exhaled. “Jesus.”
Ultimately, X had to use the ass load of sedative Helen had given him. You know, just in case shit got out of hand. Fuck. He was on his way to the medical ward to dispose of the syringe when it hit him. What if Victrixa actually succeeded in somehow getting the
