traitor for months,” Shive continued, glancing at Kyro. “So, I apologize. For everything.” His gaze returned to her. “Not all of us are bad.”

Evren only nodded. It was all she could do. The memory of M’Agunt’s body ripped to pieces came back to her as a vivid memory.

“You’ve apologized. Now leave.” Kyro closed the door, locking it in place.

The chuckle that tumbled from her came almost immediately. “You can be so rude sometimes.” She laughed. “He deserved it though. He scared the shit out of me when I saw him watching me from the alleyway.”

“He won’t come anywhere near you again.” Kyro turned, pulling her into his arms.

“Mmm,” She planted a kiss on his lips. “No, he won’t because we are going away to our abandoned station.”

A light sparked in Kyro’s gray eyes just as the door made another sound.

Kyro cursed under his breath and he released her.

“Leave us alone,” he growled as he pulled the door open.

“I told you they weren’t ready for visitors.” It was another male voice and the horns that pointed up into the air told her who it was.

She saw Kyro’s shoulders relax as he greeted his friend and captain, resting an arm on Xul’s shoulder as they touched foreheads.

“Good to see you brother.” Xul grinned.

Behind him were several other heads.

As Kyro moved to let them all in, Athena rushed inside, her arms outstretched.

“Evren!”

She was promptly embraced and before she knew it, Piper, Diana, and Song were joining in.

All his brothers had come too, Crex, Yce, Kyris, and even Rokan was there.

Greetings abounded along with oohs and aahs, expressions of being thankful it was all over and that she’s safe, and expressions of how happy they were that Kyro was back on his feet.

Evren glanced at Kyro and their eyes met. It was going to be hard telling all their friends that they planned to leave.

These people were like family to them.

“I still can’t believe this actually happened. I’d thought we were safe here,” Piper said.

“You are mostly safe here, but we still have to be vigilant,” Xul replied.

“We’ll all keep you safe,” Crex said.

“And now that you’re leaving, you will always be safe,” Yce said, looking at Evren. “You too, brother.”

Evren paled.

“Leaving?” Diana turned to her, her red hair flying around her shoulders at the force at which she spun her head. “You’re leaving?”

Evren met Kyro’s eyes once more. “Yes. We are.”

Xul cut Yce a look and Kyris hung his head, his wings jerking as he laughed silently.

“What?” Yce asked. “They were going to let you know anyway.”

“You’re leaving?” Song turned to her, sorrow immediately in her eyes but then she smiled brightly. “It’s for the best. We will miss you though. Where are you going?”

“It’s a place Kyro knows,” she replied, taking the woman’s hand in hers. “I will miss you too. I will miss all of you.”

“Yea,” Athena spoke up. “It is for the best though, as Song said. We could all probably keep busy and not think about losing you with all the humans that we will have to onboard. They still haven’t been able to open the container with the stasis pods yet.”

Evren’s eyes widened. “Still? I mean, I totally forgot about that with all that’s been happening.”

“We will need Kyro to crack the code and get us in. It is paramount that we do so. There’s one human female in there who’s...” Xul trailed off, his eyes flicking to Yce.

“She’s been awake the entire time, I believe,” Yce said. “I cannot endure her mind. It is...extremely frayed.”

“That has got to be the worst torture...” Piper said, her hand moving over her belly. “This world is...a scary place. It makes me almost scared to have this baby.”

“Baby?” Evren’s eyes fastened on the woman’s hand and when she looked back up at Piper, the woman’s cheeks were rosy with a blush.

“Surprise!” she said. “Found out a few days ago.” She grinned.

Evren’s eyes widened some more.

“Ohmigod!” She gripped Piper in a hug. “That’s amazing news!”

“So you found a way to tell her?” Kyro asked, his eyes on Crex, who nodded. “Congratulations, brother.”

When his eyes fell on hers once more, Evren didn’t miss the look that was there. It was a longing that was as clear as day in his gray orbs.

She didn’t know if children would ever be in their future, but if there was anyone who would be a great father, Kyro was it.

As the conversation continued around them, she smiled at him and crossed her arms over her chest.

To think she’d been worrying about her future when her future had been by her side all along.

He had to be the happiest man alive.

As his friends and their mates left, he moved over to his woman and pulled her into his arms.

He’d thought they’d bring up the fact that he hadn’t been truthful to them, that he had lied to them, pretending to be something he wasn’t for the entire time they’d known him. He’d thought they’d be scornful of him, wary even, or at least angry, but his brothers had displayed none of those feelings.

Instead, they’d treated him as if nothing had changed.

It created an unexpected feeling within him...freedom. For once in his adult life, he felt as if he wasn’t judged for the color of his skin or his abilities. He was simply seen as himself. Not different. Not more dangerous. Not something to be used and exploited. Just himself.

“Why are you smiling like that?” Her question caught him off guard.

“I’m just...happy.” He looked down at her. These emotions were all because of her. This lightness in his being, it was all because of her.

His hand slid to her stomach as he rubbed it gently.

Her eyes were guarded as she looked at him.

It must be obvious what he was thinking.

“Kyro?”

“Do you think...do you think that one day we could have the gift bestowed to my brother, Crex?”

It took only a second for her to smile.

“You want us to have kids?”

“You speak in the plural. I was thinking in
