Imani shook his hand and smiled.
“Thank you, Commander Sylvan. I can’t wait to get started.”
Alli smiled with pride at the young woman beside her. It looked like Imani would be going on a little adventure, but she was sure her protégé was up to the challenge.
In the meantime, she would have a few challenges of her own—including motherhood. She turned her gaze on Kane, who was watching her with a hungry smile on his face.
“I know what you’re thinking,” she sent through their link. “You want to have bonding sex again. But remember, you already made me pregnant!”
“Let’s try for twins,” Kane growled in her head. “It seems your protégé is going to do well here, so all your loose ends are tied up. Let’s go home, Allisandra—I want you.”
“I want you, too,” Alli sent him and felt a warm surge of lust through their bond. As she rose and took his arm, she felt as though her heart might overflow.
Just a month or so ago, she had been ready to settle for a loveless, childless marriage just so she wouldn’t have to spend the rest of her life alone. Now she had a mate she adored and a baby on the way. Her life had done a complete turn-around and she couldn’t be happier about it.
Thank you, Goddess, she prayed as she and Kane said their goodbyes. Thank you that I was…Captured by the Kru’ell One.
The End?
Of course not! There are always more Kindred Tales coming.
