She still didn’t know anything. The poison obviously didn’t work on them, but what if her little niece or nephew got hurt?
“Onyx says the baby is well,” Ria rubbed her tummy.
“Put her down! I want to hug my sister! And put something on, for Moon Goddess’ sake!” Gideon growled, Iosing his patience, and Kai grunted, already annoyed. However, he did as he was told and carefully placęd Savvy’s bare feet onto the ground without any kind of his usual snarky att*itude in return. The events of the past few days changed them all.
Gideon did not waste any time and pulled his sibling into a tight, warm, and slightly painful embrace. She could feel his every raw emotion, knowing how much she meant to him. For many years, it had been just the two of them. Savannah remembered how he watched Zack being smug about “his” plan. She knew that it brought him as much pain as it did to her and now he was telling her that without words.
“If I could have come sooner” Gideon said in a low voice and for a second there, she felt like he was shedding a tear or two. He buried his face into her messy hair, and she did not rush him, letting him have this moment discreetly.
“lt’s okay,” Savannah giggled softly, rea*s*suringly, still not believing her own luck. “Trust me; they regret abducting me in the first place.”
“That’s my girl,” the King of the West chuckled proudly and gave her a fatherly k!ss on the forehead.
From the corner of her eye, Savannah noticed Kyle and Zara running in her direction, followed by Evelyn and Lachlan. Petra was waving at her at a distance but not approaching, giving her privacy and some time to spend with her closest people. The girl didn’t look as high-spirited as usual, but that could have been easily explained by what was going on, and Savvy didn’t pay it much attention. She was more concentrated on thanking the higher beings for getting everyone she loved back to her.
“You’re all alive!” Tears streamed down her cheeks as she laughed and hugged each of them. If heaven really did exist, it probably felt like that. “How is it even possible?”
“You all better be careful and not crush my mate over there!” Kai grumbled as he pulled on the jeans that Lachlan had brought for him, bringing silence to the little clearing they were all gathered on.
“Excuse me?” Gideon arched his brow. “How is that even-“
“I don’t know, and l am not questioning the gifts given to us by the gods,” Kai shook his head. “But I have to say that this new life feels so much better than the first one. I have a new power, by the way. Ice needles!
Who knew?!”
“I liked you better when you couldn’t shift,” the Western King rolled his eyes. “Savvy, my dear sister, you do know you can reject him, right?” he teased and the Northern Lycan King let out a menacing snarl. “See what I told you?” Gideon continued his mocking. “The mutt doesn’t even know how to behave in public!”
“At least now I know this is real because you are back to your usual bickering!” she beamed at her big brother and then burst out laughing, still unable to stop the tears. She was too emotional, and it was getting out of control. “As for the manners, my mate and I will work on that. Thank you.”
She was slowly starting to like the mate concept again because, somehow, saying the word in relation to Kai was bringing her joy every time.
“Sadly, we have to cut our reunion short,” Kai gently but persistently took her out of her brother’s hands and back into his, k!ssing her temple softly. “I don’t think it is safe to stay anywhere other than my castle now. The final battle will happen as soon as possible. We won a few days, were able to prepare while no one knew, but we don’t have that luxury anymore.”
“Then shall I activate the second part of our plan?” Ria asked, her hand rubbing her slightly on her rounded belly. She still did not look like a pregnant woman, just like one who had a full dinner. Then again, no one expected anything else from the perfect Luna.
Something told Savannah that when she would be pregnant with Kai’s baby one day, this wouldn’t be the case for her. That made her think of something else, and her cheeks flushed at the sudden realisation…
However, there were more urgent things at the moment, things that couldn’t wait.
“Of course,” Kyle agreed with his Luna. “I will alert Uncle Reid right this very moment.”
“What is the second part of the plan exactly?” Savvy wondered, a*s*suming that the first part was getting her and the other hostages out.
“Well,” Gideon smirked, “my brilliant wife talked us into this, and now that you are here, I am glad she did.
Remember how hard it was for us to expose the traitors among us? Even after you found out the truth about Zack and brought me the information you found on his phone, we still weren’t sure we got everyone.”
Savannah nodded, and Kai pulled her closer, unable to stop touching her.
“Now was our chance to find out” Kyle winked at his friend while lacing his fingers with Evelyn’s. The woman, however, slipped her hand out of his grasp, and this did not escape Savvy’s gaze. “We set traps for everyone who wasn’t with us,” the guy continued as if nothing happened, but the Western Princess knew her best friend too well and saw the disappointment in his eyes.
“You all have been busy!” Savannah praised them.
They all did so much while she was lying sick in Bjorn’s bed..
“So were you,” Zara chímed in. “I flew over the bears’ castle now. Well, whatever is left from it. Castle for a castle, right?”
“Right,” Savvy smiled, feeling better now.
“But we do need to leave,” Kai reminded them. “We can talk back at home.”
“Is there something you haven’t told us?” Gideon raised his brow.
“Plenty of things,” the Lycan King of the North snorted. “But this is not the place nor the time. Savannah needs a healer, though-“
He did not finish as his hands slid under the blanket Savvy was covering herself with. All the wounds were already gone.
“l think I already got one,” she giggled and leaned over his ch3st. “Feeling much better, Doc.”
“Mates indeed,” Riannon chuckled softly. “And no magical lycan l!cking required! Gideon, can you imagine?!”
“Ha-ha,” her husband crossed his hands over his ch3st. “Just remember l am watching you, Fionnlagh.
And if you hurt her-“
“Never!” Kai interjected, and they stared at each other for some time.
Gideon’s l!ps curled into the vaguest of smiles.
“Good!” the Western King nodded, taking his wife’s hand, walked away. “Let’s get going then!”
They shifted one by one, and only Kai prevented Savannah from doing so.
“I am not ready to part with you just yet,” he told her as he placed a gentle k!ss on her l!ps. “So, you are going on my back.”
“I can get used to it,” she taunted him, and a growl escaped the Northern Lycan King’s ch3st.
