him a nod. They walk off together, leaving me alone with Henry as we both watch them go.
“Do you think we should spy on them to make sure they don’t kill each other?” I ask.
Henry laughs, wrapping his arms around me and tugging me to him. “My beautiful mate, no, we should leave them. This is something Ren needs to say to them and figure out. He has always accepted us, and now he is learning to accept them. Give them time.”
“Brother, Kaitlyn. How are you both?” Hazel asks, coming over to us, her eyes fixed on me.
“I never got to really thank you for saving my mate,” Henry softly says, placing his hand on her arm. “Thank you.”
“She would have saved herself, we both know that. Kaitlyn doesn’t seem the type to go down without a fight,” Hazel says with a smile.
“I still couldn’t have escaped there without you,” I remind her, and she shrugs.
“I had to leave the city and my friends.” She pauses, placing her hand over her stomach. “I was mated to an angel, but he died when he tried to get us out of the city. Many angels do not agree with the leaders and want to escape. Hundreds have escaped, but he died and I hid, knowing I couldn’t have stopped them. I found out last week I’m expecting a baby, and I want to let you know that’s why I am leaving.”
“You’re pregnant?” Henry asks with a massive smile. “Congratulations, sis.” They hug tightly as tears fall down her cheeks, and I give her a small smile.
“I’m so sorry for your loss, and congratulations,” I tell her, not sure how to feel for her. Henry seems like he’s already aware of her loss, so I’m taking his lead to be happy for her.
“But you’re leaving?” he asks her.
She nods as Henry backs up a little. “I’m going to be a teacher at the Lost Time Academy, and my child will live there with me. Madi offered me the job when I explained my situation. I was a teacher in Neamh…and I will be a good one for the tales.”
“You will be. I will visit often,” Henry says, placing his hands on her shoulders. “And my nephew is lucky to have you in his life.”
“How could you know it’s a boy? Even I don’t know,” she asks with a laugh.
“A guess,” he replies, and they hug tightly. Hazel eventually says goodbye, and Henry walks us back to the cabin with a huge smile on his face.
“You seem happy,” I comment as we get inside the cabin. Henry laughs, tugging me into his arms and starts to slowly dance with me.
“I have the girl of my dreams in my arms, my family is safe, and we have a future I would die to protect,” he tells me, taking one of my hands and spinning me around before catching me back in his arms but with my back to his front. His hands wrap around my waist as I lean my head back on his chest.
“When you put it like that, then yes, we have everything to live for,” I reply, and he spins me around one more time, but when I come back to him this time, he kisses me. Lifting me up, he carries me until he presses my body into the couch, never breaking the kiss. As long as Henry is in my life, we have everything to be happy about.
Chapter 64
Resting my head on the side of Ren’s shoulder, he glances down at me, a tug of a smile gracing his full lips.
“You should go and rest, my queen,” he quietly suggests, and I grin back at him. We have been going over plans for tomorrow with all the men for hours. All of us are sitting or standing around a large table, bottles of drinks littered all around us, and empty boxes of food on the floor. For the first half an hour, we had to get to know each other, especially since most of Lexi’s mates turned up. Morgan and Lexi themselves can’t physically leave hell, but they will be doing everything they can in hell. Madi and her friend, Tavvy, left about half an hour ago to get some rest and check on their people. Knox waves his hand, and all the food and drinks automatically refill themselves before our eyes. The amount of power and magic in this room could literally set the world on fire.
