He winked at her and then everybody echoed the sentiment and clinked glasses, cries of celebration ringing out, whistles, whoops and cheers.

I wrapped my arm around Aurora and Jonah and Asher grinned at us.

It was a new day now.

And the four of us were going to savor every fucking moment of it.

Epilogue 2

Two Years Later

Into the den of beasts.

The first time I’d stepped into their domain in Hexwood House, that was what I’d thought.

I’d worried there would be no going back, that I wouldn’t come out unscathed once I’d crossed that proverbial threshold.

And I hadn’t.

But in the best ways.

That decision had changed my life.

Getting to know them, drawing closer, all of us dropping our walls and allowing each other in had altered everything in the most amazing ways.

Asher Monroe. The Chameleon. The guy nobody could get a proper read on because he never showed his true face, never expressed his wants and needs, never showed his hand.

Jonah Keller. The Savage. The guy who got off on violence and bloodletting.

Killian Carmichael. The Prince. The guy with the boy-next-door charm, most eligible bachelor type, the flawless golden boy who everyone either wanted to be, or to be with.

I smiled to myself as I recalled my initial assessment of the guys.

One borne from a ton of research combined with public conjecture.

All of it had just been what they’d showed the world, though.

What they’d crafted to show the world.

They were each so much more than that.

And they’d become capable of so much as well.

I jolted from my thoughts as Asher slapped his hand down on the document I’d passed him and pushed it back to me across our desk.

“No. No. Did I mention no?” he was saying with vehement shakes of his head.

I stared at the back of his hand and the alteration to the tattoo that had been there for so long. No more Infidels tattoo. It had been changed through a few months’ worth of careful work to match our skull rings. Killian and Jonah had done the same thing and now there was nothing left of that dark time.

It was just us now.

“Aurora?” Asher called. “Are you hearing me?”

I blinked and shot him a look. “We can’t turn this down. It’s a lucrative opportunity and it’ll get the firm’s name out there in a major way.”

“We’re talking about taking on Chantal Marriot as a client.”
