Brit swallowed. “Right. Yes, please.”
“Right after dinner. I will leave it in here.”
She got herself out of the tumble of blankets, and they headed down to the dining room together.
Litha smiled at their very intense greeting as Denier made sure that his mate wasn’t injured.
Litha set the dinner out while they were kissing and cuddling, and once the food was out, she served herself and started her meal. They joined her as she finished and cleared her plate. Denier frowned. “You won’t sit with us?”
“I was sitting. You were busy. I don’t wait for people anymore. Life is too uncertain.” She chuckled and headed to the kitchen.
Litha called out, “You two take your time. I am going to run errands.”
She hummed and headed out while they had dinner.

Brit heard the door click, and she felt bad. “I think that Litha is pissed that we didn’t sit down to eat right away.”
Denier cocked his head as he looked at the satisfying meal in front of him. “I think that it is as she says. She does not wait. She lives alone, she fights alone, and she survives alone. There is nothing that she gains from social interaction. Touching her is deadly, so she does not get close to anyone.”
Brit paused. “That is how I was.”
“But you wouldn’t destroy your partner, even if you copied them. You might cross swords, but that would be it.”
She giggled then stopped. “There’s an image. But geez, to be that alone. Even I was never that alone.”
Denier took her hand and rubbed his thumb in circles on her palm. “You are no longer alone.”
“No, but she is, and her patron doesn’t even put out. That’s just sad.”
He chuckled. “Is it?”
“She is only being matched with men she could physically be with, and he won’t have sex with her. That is a special type of torment.”
Denier sat there. “I guess it would be. I knew that my omega would want me where others had only been curious.”
He kissed her palm, and he smiled. “And then there was you.”
“I am really glad that Ylara was petrified.” Brit sighed. “But I can’t go back to the capitol.”
“It’s a good thing that Daycross, Aksalla, and the Sethir-Nin will welcome you with open arms.”
“Is it like it’s said, if you die, I die?”
“It is the other way around. If I die, you live on to save our children. The Sethir-Nin will insist that you take another alpha as a lover and protector.”
“That would be horrible.”
He nodded. “I agree.”
She looked him in the eye. “So keep your ass safe.”
He chuckled. “So, what did you do today?”
She forked up some of the creamiest mashed potatoes she had ever eaten. “I went shopping, and Litha killed people with every stop.”
He chuckled. “So, what did you buy?”
