“Well, archangels wouldn’t lie,” Stephanie said.
“No, but I’m alive.” Kit was truly stunned.
“Yes!” Stephanie squealed.
“Stephanie, I can give you my name, my body, my children.”
“I already had you, Kit, but this is a bonus!”
“I want four children,” Kit said excitedly.
“Can we get married first?” Stephanie laughed.
“We can do anything you wish, dove. Because we’ve got forever together,” Kit enthused.
“You have a fight tonight, though. And then this final battle. I wonder why they didn’t elaborate on that,” Stephanie wondered, her face darkening a little.
“Whatever comes our way, nothing will ever stop me from coming home to you. Not even death. We’ve eternity, Stephanie,” Kit promised.
“I like the sound of that.”
“Almost as much as me, I bet. And to think, I was trying to drive you away, and all this time, you’ve been my miracle.”
“I’m nobody’s miracle, Kit!”
Kit shook his head in disagreement.
“You’re mine, my angel, and my dove. You’re everything I wished for and didn’t know it. Life was colourless until you came along. There was my duty and my honour, and I loved life, but it was all grey and wishy-washy. Stephanie, you brought the colour to my world, and it’s because of you I’m alive today. That’s special, a miracle whether or not you admit it,” Kit disagreed.
Stephanie leaned forward as Kit kissed her.
“Tonight, I shall battle for CeeCee. Then you’ll meet my siblings, and we’ll discuss where to go from there. But be warned, they better understand we want our privacy!” Kit growled.
“I’ll tell my friends, too, and Cole will undoubtedly want to interrogate you!”
“Good, because I wish to question Cole about what he means to do with my sister!”
“Cole would never hurt her,” Stephanie insisted.
“Dove, I know that. Do you know how I do? Because you’d never trust another villain or allow a monster to infiltrate your friends’ lives. You are too protective of them, and they you.”
“Kit, have you realised that my friends seem to be your siblings’ soul mates? Elias, Callie, Tilly, and Issac are the only ones oblivious.”
“And we won’t tell them. They need to discover that themselves. If we interfere, we could damage the path they’re taking. But come dove, we must return home. I have a battle to win,” Kit said, beginning to pack the remains of the picnic.
Stephanie watched with worry in her eyes that, although Kit tried to alleviate, he couldn’t. Even as he helped Stephanie back onto her horse, he sensed the trepidation within her. Stephanie had never seen him fight properly; she only knew he’d died the last time he confronted a monster.
Unsure how to reassure her, Kit kept up a string of endless babble as they rode back. Stephanie was ill at ease, but it was something she’d have to get used to, as harsh as it sounded. Being a part of God’s Scourge meant he’d witness other battles. Stephanie had to learn that he would always return to her.
Because not even death could stop them.
They’d been promised forever. They planned to use that opportunity to live a wonderful life.
Chapter Ten.
Stephanie
Stephanie pulled up outside The Green Man, and her mouth dropped open at the amount of people gathered there. Maggie and Mariah were recognisable, but the others standing around weren’t. Apart from the one called Daniel Harrington. Two large dogs stood howling, being held back by two men.
