couch and place a hand on her leg. “Hey, Alexa. I’m really sorry that I left. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of me.”

She nods. “I know why you did it, El. I really get it.” She glances around me at Gavin who is still outside the house, sitting on the front steps. “It’s him that you need to talk to. I practically had to force him to take the coleus, but there were some days where he was sure that he’d find you without it.”

New tears sting my already tired eyes as I think about Gavin being in pain because of me. I hug Alexa and leave her on the couch. Liam kisses me on the head as I walk past him and Kassy to the front door and I smile up at him.

Outside, I shut the door and stand in front of Gavin so his head is level with my belly. “Gavin, can you look at me?” I ask him.

He doesn’t comply, and instead, he pulls my body toward him and rests his head against my abdomen with his hands on either side of my hips. “Don’t start apologizing, okay. I know what Lex said, but I’m fine.”

I run my fingers through his hair, reveling in the feel of it. “I have to apologize, though. For everything. I left you behind, Gavin.” I sigh and stare down at the top of his head. “Aren’t you mad?” I ask, hoping he says no.

Gavin pulls me onto his lap so I straddle his hips and he looks straight into my eyes. My heart races being this close to him again. His hand rubs soothing circles on my back as he watches me. “Yes. I was mad,” he says easily and I suck in a regretful breath. “And then I was sad, and worried, and frustrated.” He closes his eyes.

His eyes open again and a small smile forms on his perfectly plump lips. “But, even when I was angry that you left, I still believed in you. I missed you with all of my heart, but I know you, Aella.” He strokes my cheek with the back of his hand and the electricity charges me.

I gasp at the feel of it, realizing that our bond is still there. “Gavin,” I breathe his name out. “Can you feel that?”

I bring my hands up to his face and can feel the zing beneath my palms. Gavin smiles wider than before. “Yes, I can feel it.”

I wrap my arms around him again and touch my nose to his. “Would it be okay if I kissed you now and promise you that for the rest of our lives, I will never leave you again? Even if it means, the next trouble that finds me, will find both of us?”

I wait patiently for his response. He rubs his nose back and forth against mine and tightens his hold on me with a deep animalistic growl. “The rest of our lives, huh?” One of his eyebrows raises with his crooked grin. “Make it forever, and you’ve got a deal.”

My lips stretch into the happiest smile of my life and I laugh against my Intended before kissing him with all that I have, sealing my promise. Forever…

Chapter 12

Barron

I watch her small frame as she lay stirring in her bed next to the Seer boy. Her mind is waking in this dream with me, and in only moments she will see me. This room is different from what I have seen before, so I know she must still be in Granbury.

I never expected the young Ganis to possess the power that she does. It was supposed to be a quick death after letting her search for me for a week or so. I did not suspect that Titus would die at her hand. He always showed such strength and gall.

Of course, to my surprise, that other Seer boy helped her. I have no doubt though, that he will fall with her and the rest of them.

Aella stirs again in her sleep and her eyes flutter open. She scans the room around her where her friends all sleep, unwilling to leave her side. I watch as realization crosses her face and she locks eyes with me.

She gasps at the sight of me. “Barron. I can see you!” she states the obvious, as all young ones do nowadays.

I nod, acknowledging her accomplishment to be developed enough to take in the sight of me in her subconscious. “It seems you have come a long way, young one.”

She sits straight up in her small bed, nearly hitting her head on the mounted bookshelf above her. “Why haven’t you come around, Barron? I thought you were going to meet me in Granbury, but all I’ve seen are a bunch of unfit demons.”

Her words are confident and I am surprised at the suddenly brave child who once had such fear about her. “I wrongly thought that I could send someone after you to end my business for me. Clearly, you have been hiding a few things from me.”

The demon boy, Sam came to me and told me of her power with the water. I knew she would have to find her element eventually, I only did not expect it to grow at this rate.

Aella pulls her blanket up higher on her chest, the cold from my Hell getting to her. She does not know that I communicate with her from Hell. If I could easily come to her in person, I would.

“I’ve learned a lot, Barron. You can’t hurt me as easily as you hoped. Looks like you’ll have to come yourself for once.” Her bravado is impressive from someone so unknowing of the world.

I step closer to her and she flinches, showing the little girl inside the warrior. I place my hand on her brunette friend where she lay on the floor next to the tall boy. I cannot feel the girl, but the show of it is all
