He thanked each male individually. Malachi smiled at him. “You stood by my side for Nila. It’s only right I returned the favor. That’s what the pack is for.”
“Not just pack,” Sam said. “Family.”
“I can’t thank you guys enough, truly. Thank you for everything.”
“We’ll handle things here,” Acksel said. “Dad told me he’s sending omegas over here to help you clean out the house.”
“We’re going to stay at the apartment until the house is fixed, however the hell long that takes.”
“We’ll pack bags for you two and take them to the apartment,” Mal said.
“Thanks,” Ren said. “I’ll be in touch.”
Turning to E’lahn, he said, “I’m ready to see my mate.”
E’lahn opened a portal and stepped through, and Ren followed. He found himself in the training compound, where soldiers worked as they’d been when he and Kismet had first come to the realm. They walked toward one of the buildings within the compound.
“Kismet told me how serious wing injuries are. I saw her fall off the porch, but she opened the portal and disappeared before I could get to her.”
“I think she came here because she knew no one in the compound would allow the female to truly harm her.”
“I wish she hadn’t had to deal with that female at all.”
E’lahn stopped in front of a door with a sign that readhealer. “She gave the female an opportunity to live, but she wouldn’t take it. Whatever was wrong with that female, I’m convinced she was obsessed beyond all reason. Her aura was dark and dirty, full of rage and bitterness, and a deep evil.”
“Kismet said as much when she confronted us on a date. I wish…” he let his voice trail off as his thoughts turned dark.
E’lahn appraised him silently for a moment and then nodded. “It’s easy to pick apart the past when we’re on the other side of a problem. You’re not psychic, right?”
Ren chuckled with a shake of his head. “No.”
“Then considering what you were up against, you did exactly what I’d expect of my daughter’s truemate. She’s safe now, and that’s what really matters.”
“Thank you.”
E’lahn opened the door to the healer, and Ren followed him inside.
“Broderik,” he said as a male with white wings tipped with grey, came into the room. “This is Kismet’s truemate, Ren.”
“How is she?” Ren asked as he shook the healer’s hand.
“Resting comfortably. Come to her room.”
Ren and E’lahn followed the male down a hall and through an open door. Ren rushed to the bed where Kismet lay on her stomach, her left wing splinted and covered with bandages. He dropped to his knees and brushed the hair from her face.
“Oh, sweetheart.”
Her eyes were closed in sleep and her breathing was deep. He could hear her heart beating steadily, and he took comfort in that.
Broderik cleared his throat and Ren looked up at him. “I gave her a draught to help her sleep. It serves a dual purpose of removing the toxic magic from her body and allowing her to sleep through what would be a painful process. The wing had a clean break, so I set it, and once she’s awake, it should be healed.”
“How long will she be asleep?”
“A day. I’m certain you’ll wish to stay here at her side. I’ll have my assistants ensure you’re comfortable.”
He rested his hand gently on Kismet’s head. “Thank you.”
“Of course,” Broderik said.
