Once Adelie had left my house, it was like I could breathe again. Her scent faded, and when I switched my emotions off again, I could sort through all the conflicting emotions I’d had since saving her. I felt guilty because it felt like I’d cheated on Kari.

I couldn’t disrespect her memory like that, and I wouldn’t. I’d cheated on her enough while we’d been married, even if it hadn’t been by choice, I’d still done it, and hurt her. I had broken Kari, and it didn’t matter what anyone said, I was

  • Mist   Epilogue

    I made coffee for myself in the kitchen and looked at the painted cupboards. Kari had called it an ugly green, but Adelie said it was sage. She called it beautiful, and I smiled. I liked the color. I sat down at the kitchen table and opened the text messages on my phone.Kai: Where are you?Adelie: I’m at home.I exhaled in relief and stood up from the bed. Our mingled scents were everywhere, and I liked it. She should just move in with me. She was here all the time anyway, and now that we’d finally sealed our imprinting, I didn’t see why we should be separated any longer. I showered and changed for work. For the first time in three years, I wasn’t at the hotel at 5 a.m., working out in the gym. I smiled as I got ready and left my house. It felt like I had a new lease on life, a second chance at happiness, and this time, I wasn’t going to waste a second of it.I smiled as I arrived at the hotel and made my way to the lounge area. I unlocked my office door, then dismay hit me as I loo

    In the parking lot, Adelie let go of my hand and walked to her car. I got in the Jeep and looked at her as she drove in front. She turned off toward the house, and I knew she was going to get her overnight bag. I drove on to my own house and parked in the garage.I switched the kettle on and heard her car park in the garage. I walked to the side door just as she climbed out. “We should talk about this afternoon.”“What about it?” she asked me.“How could you ever think I’d do anything with Tessa of all people?” I asked her, as we walked back inside the house.“I didn’t really,” she said, and started to laugh at me.“That’s not funny,” I said.“Your face was,” she said, and laughed again as I looked at her.“That’s it, I’m putting you on laundry for a week,” I said, and she gasped.“That’s just mean!” she said, and I laughed.“Think about what you want for dinner while I go take a shower,” I said, and headed upstairs.I undressed in the bathroom and stepped into the shower. The hot wat

    Six months later…“Good morning, everyone,” I said, and looked at the hotel employees standing in front of me. Adelie stood in the back, and she smiled as she looked at me. For a second, I got lost in her eyes, and I forgot what I wanted to say.“Uhm …” The atmosphere at work had steadily changed because I smiled more, and the employees had started to relax around me.“You want to talk to us about the missing alcohol from the bar,” Jake said.“Ah, yes. For the past month, I’ve noticed that every week the bar staff are short two bottles of Scotch on their inventory. You’ve all rotated to the bar in the past month, so I’ll be setting up polygraph tests for everyone. The guilty party has until the end of this shift to come and see me in my office to resolve this issue,” I said.“And if that person doesn’t come and see you?” Doug asked me.“Then we’ll start with polygraphs tomorrow, and criminal charges will be brought against the guilty party. Today is your last chance to come clean, and

    We finished dinner and the women ordered dessert. I ordered coffee because I really wasn’t a dessert person. It had nothing to do with watching my figure or sticking to a certain diet for my work-outs, I just didn’t like sweet things. I didn’t even take sugar in my coffee.“So what do you do for fun other than work and study and taking your clothes off in bars?” Melissa asked me with a smile. She was leaning closer to me now and her hand was on my arm again. I wanted to push it off but I knew that I would come across as rude. She had no right to touch me with Adelie sitting a few feet away from me.“Actually, he’s just defrosting now. He was a recluse for like a year after …” Paul’s eyes widened, and he stopped talking as he looked at me. “Sorry, Kai. I didn’t mean–”“It’s okay, Paul. Life goes on,” I said. If he had said that to me even four months ago, it wouldn’t have ended well, and I would’ve ended up arrested again.“After what?” Melissa asked but Paul shook his head at her.“Af

    I took care with what I wore and even shaved. I knew I looked good because Tala wolf whistled at me when I came down the stairs, and I laughed. Falcon grinned, and nodded his head. They both knew what my game plan for the evening was, and I felt confident that I would succeed.I was also aware that this thing could backfire, and I’d have to play it carefully. I didn’t want to push Adelie away, and I also didn’t want to lose her. I wanted her to come to me willingly, and I’d give up everything for her.I arrived at the restaurant a little after 7 p.m., and I parked the Jeep. I walked across the street and saw Paul and two women as they walked towards the restaurant. I could see the relief in Paul’s eyes that I’d actually shown up.“This is Melissa, you remember Julia,” Paul said, and looked at Melissa. “That’s Kai.”We greeted each other politely, and I held the door open for the women to walk in first. The woman behind the podium smiled, and I stepped forward. “Sinclair.”The woman wo

    I spent the rest of the weekend alone at home, not really sure what to do about Adelie. I didn’t know if she wanted me to call her, or if I should just show up at the house. I could do that without her knowing that it was her I wanted to see, but I felt that something was off, something she had wanted to tell me.I didn’t want to fight the bond anymore. Friday night had made me realize something. She had gone through something terrible in her life, just like I had, and I didn’t want to push her to do something she wasn’t ready to do. That was love. I loved her, and I wanted her to love me back.On Monday morning, I stood in the bathroom as I got ready to head to the hotel for my work-out, and I took my wedding ring off. It didn’t feel as strange as I thought it would, and I put it in the medicine cabinet. I felt different. I’d kissed Adelie, and I’d held her all night as we slept. That was me accepting the bond, and I knew there was no going back now.Kiran was already on the treadmil

    “Jace!” I yelled, and his head turned toward me.“Kai!” he yelled, and the man punched him hard in the face.I felt myself falling as Falcon tackled me to the ground. Loud gunshots hit the building behind me, and the van drove off. I looked at Falcon as he pulled me up from the sidewalk.“How did y

    We reached the front door, and Marco smiled when he saw me. He walked down the steps and surveyed the group with me. “Kai.”“Hey, Marco,” I said, as he crossed his arms over his chest.“Fighters? Really?” he asked with a raised brow.“We’re not fighting tonight,” I said, and sincerely hoped we didn

    Jace remained sitting at the counter, and I had no idea what to do. I wasn’t big on comforting people, except Saga and Kari. This was unknown territory for me, because the men in my family either showed everything or nothing. I’d never seen Levi break down, but my dad showed his emotions all the ti

    I loosened my grip on everyone, and poor Jace was literally squashed beneath me. I got to my feet and looked around. Bullets tore into the furniture around us, dishes cracked, and wood splinters were flying everywhere.I was shocked and surprised that my spell had worked, and had taken all three of
