“Come on, Niles..” Walker said as Roxie leaned up against him. They were peering at Niles as he sat on the cot in the cell, “Let me know what’s going on. Are you—you?”“Am I crazed? No.”Walker’s body shuddered, “You were my friend..”“Friend? I’m not your friend, Walker. I’ve been looking after my den for a while now. You were just time well spent.”Roxie frowned, “You’re a piece of shit.”“And you’re a hot little piece I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a few years, but I’ve been waiting for you to awaken before trying anything.”“I have an invite to the ball, I have a mate, I would never be with you, Niles. You’re insane.”“I want you—your powers—everything.”“Wait...are you working for my father?” Walker asked.Niles chuckled, “I work for me, myself, and I. Let’s just say I overheard how much power this little beauty is bound to gain after her awakening and it intrigued me.”“Do you know about the elders and,-”“Oh, I’ve known about that,” Niles said, “Your little friend Vict

“Walker...”“Mouse..”She closed her eyes as his lips caressed the shell of her ear, his hot, minty breath making her shudder as he continued flirting.“You know what I can give you...you know how good it feels..” Walker started massaging her shoulders as Jenny and Evans ogled them from across the table, “You know how I can get you dripping like a fucking fountain..”“Walker...it’s Marlena..” Roxie said as she straightened up and Walker smiled at the little girl who had a plate food of food.“Hey, you!” Walker said, settling into a seat next to Roxie—leaving her speechless.“Hi guys!” Marlena smiled, “I had to help with the fish. It was disgusting, but I did it.”“You’re a big girl, Marlena,” Walker said, placing his hand on Roxie’s thigh and squeezing. Roxie’s breath hitched as she tried to keep a stoic face, “You know, my dad used to take me fishing.”“Really?” Marlena asked, “Maybe Evans can take me fishing.”Evans smiled, “Of course I can!”“You’re not eating?” Roxie asked Walker

“We’re...”“Married..”As the crowd cheered around them, Roxie and Walker looked at each other—now in complete shock. Jaleesa had already written up and presented the wedding scroll. Crystal and Jadis signed it first, both delighted that they could be a part of the festivities.“The two of you have to sign it now,”Jaleesa said, handing them the quill as Walker watched his wife sign her maiden name and then her new name...Roxie Wells.“Fuck that looks perfect..” Walker said, smiling at her.“The two of you are the key to ending it all,” Jadis said, “Nothing can touch you.”Roxie frowned, “You sound so sure.”“It won’t be easy, my dear...there will be blood shed,” Jadis nodded, “Rivers of it actually..”Evans scoffed, “That was a bummer to hear after such a great celebration.”Jadis sighed, “I am not going to lie about it—you all know the battle is coming. We train and train and train and train until we’re unstoppable. We work together—side by side—no matter what.”“No matter what..”Wal

“They’re here.”Evans pulled Jenny close to him as a very large and very intimidating caravan of witches pulled into the village—the thing seemed to stretch for miles.“Wow...” Roxie said as Walker held her close, both of them cupping her belly as she leaned into his chest, “I...I’ve never seen so many in one place.”“Just wait until the wolves show up,” Evans whispered.“What about some of our people?” Suri asked, “Will none of them help?”“We’ve got a little surprise for you,” Metgar said, “Brett and Eric are here.”“What?!” Evans snarled, “Two of the vamps? We don’t even know,-”“We do know..” Metgar said, “I’ve been watching them and let me tell you, they’d rather die than give up on Roxie and Walker.”“What about Holden and Oliver?” Walker asked.“Not sure,”Metgar admitted, “We tried to scope out everyone, but people kept to themselves mostly. They’d never suspect you two with us though. Not with the hatred you harbored for us.”“You say that in the past tense,” Walker teased, em

“Roxie...baby?”Walker cradled his mate to his chest as the crowd watched in stunned silence as Niles was taken away.Metgar wiped his bloodied hands on his jeans and shouted out to the crowd.“Those of you willing to die for evil, come on up and join the son of a bitch!”Suri and Jenny knelt next to Roxie as Walker held her close.“Roxie, honey?” Suri was trying to soothe her daughter as Jaleesa and Jadis joined them.“No one stopped her,” Eric said, smiling, “Good riddance to the scumbag.”Roxie was in shock. She’d never killed anyone before, but she knew Walker had—he’d killed quite a few.“He...he wasn’t going to stop..” Roxie whispered as Walker cradled her to him, escaping from the stage and into the shadows, “I saw it..I saw it in his eyes. He was going to hurt our baby—our daughter.. He..I killed him...Oh, gods..I killed him...”“I’m sure the gods are smiling down on you, baby,” Walker assured her, “He wasn’t meant to breathe the same air that you do.”Brett and Suri joined th
