It’s addictive. I would do anything to keep that smile on her face, always.

“It’s gone. I feel completely, one hundred percent myself and it’s glorious!”

“What about the sickness from the amulet? Is that gone?” Felix asks.

Anna nods. “I was so weak and I had no idea. I’ve never felt this powerful.”

“Fuck yeah, you’re strong Vixen. Let’s get you home so you can keep enjoying this.” Griffyn picks her up and keeps her in his arms.

“I can walk!” Anna laughs. The sound is so free, it’s exactly how I feel right now.

A weight has been lifted off my shoulders. From the entire group. Killian sat like an axe above our heads that we couldn’t find but knew was there.

“This is the start of our future. Our forever,” Felix says, voicing my exact feelings.

“Our future is bright as long as it’s all of us together,” Anna says while Griffyn nuzzles into her shoulder.

Blaze stays quiet but that’s nothing new.

“What now?” I ask.

“Now, we go find Aly and her mates and we tell them about our win,” Anna says.

“I need to collect the evidence before we go,” Aksel adds, heading in the opposite direction of Anna.

I follow Aksel as he collects footage, Killian’s ashes, and all the artifacts Nicoli made for us. There are burn marks on the ground, blood, and evidence of our fighting.

“How do we clean this up?” I ask.

Before Aksel can answer, Nicoli walks into the room with his hands in his pockets.

“I can help with that.” Nic snaps his fingers and the room returns to its original state.

“Mages, they do seem useful,” I say, looking around the room in awe.

“Oh absolutely, why don’t you have one on your team again?” Nic asks Aksel.

“We are strong enough without one. You just did the job of a clean-up team, not that impressive.”

Aksel just can’t be nice.

Nic rolls his eyes. “Aly talked Anna into going to get late night waffles so let’s go before they leave us behind. I was sent to get you.”

Aksel crosses his arms but we follow him out and don’t have to use our transport charms to leave since transportation is one of Aly’s powers.

We need a huge booth at the diner to fit all of us. Of course, we all fight for positions next to the girls and it ends up with one group on either side of the table. I snagged a spot next to Anna with Aksel on her other side.

“So, we are finally free of Killian? It’s incredible,” Aly says.

Anna grins. “There’s no more chance of me killing you! Unless, of course, you bother me.”

Aly’s mates growl at Anna playfully and I don’t feel the need to snap back at them. I’m happy to see Anna’s friendship with Aly has survived everything it’s been through.

“What is next for all of you? Your mission is over, right?” Jay asks.

“Are you leaving?” Nic says excitedly.

Felix narrows his eyes. “We’re Anna’s mates so we will be with her. We have more to deal with here before we leave.”
