lit by the dance of magical radiation outside as their hearts slowed and matched their beats.

    Epilogue
    Krisia sat and watched Tobias pronounce the sentence on the coyotes who had attacked her and broken the sanctity of the Crossroads.
    “You have broken the pact between the Transporters and the shifters, and for that you, your family, anyone of your bloodline and your descendants for three generations are forbidden from using the Crossroads or seeking help from one of our kind.”
    The two cousins stood wide-eyed, their pack leader was grim, and Anders was curled around his crushed arm. They had healed it to the point where it would heal itself in human fashion, but no further.
    The pack leader stepped forward. “I understand the ruling, but is there a way to punish the guilty without taking it out on all of his relatives?”
    Tobias leaned back, and Krisia pressed her hand on his shoulder. He covered her hand with his. “There is oneway. If the one who committed the offence is removed from this world, the curse we have put into effect will cease. His two assistants will merely have to be removed from the gene pool. Those are our terms. When this has come to pass, the curse will lift. Until then, your pack and Anders’s relations will be under this restriction. Are we clear?”
    The pack leader bowed and jerked his head for the cousins to pick up Anders. “We are clear.”
    “Good, when it is done, your people will be able to find Transporters and Healers again. Good afternoon.”
    Krisia lifted her head and dismissed the coyotes back to their pack home. Anders wouldn’t survive the night.
    “Thank you for the lenience. It is better to have the shifters handle their own deaths. They know where to put the bodies.” Kris kissed Tobias’s cheek.
    “I should have just killed him.”
    “They need to know that they cannot abuse the Transporters. I have not been the only one molested in the last six years. They take the privilege for granted. It is a sacred rite, not a carnival ride.”
    Her mate laughed. “So, you don’t intend to install a permanent door between the Guild house and your friend’s home?”
    Kris snorted. “Of course I do.”
    He tugged her into his lap, and she looked up at him with an innocent expression. It took a lot of nerve to stare down an angel, but she was getting all the practice she could handle.
    “You will have to tell me where you are going, you know. If you don’t, I will come after you and that might interrupt girl time.”
    Kris shut him up with a kiss to his perfect mouth. She would tell him when she was going to Ezzy’s and when she was coming back, but she had other clients that destiny was calling, and if they couldn’t come to her, she would go to them.

    Author’s Note
    The mystery of Buzz’s name will be answered in book two, Lion Time. Krisia has a plan to help women who have a problem getting to a Transporter, and Ezzy is helping every step of the way.
    Perhaps someone should tell Tobias what is going on? Nahhh. He had ten years to figure out what he was getting into.
    Thank you for joining me in the Crossroads. I hope you have enjoyed your time there.
