My gaze moved to the blanket covering her chest and stayed there until I saw it rise with her deep steady breaths. It was idiotic. I knew she was okay. I knew her heart beat calmly because mine did, but I couldn't stop myself from checking every so often.

Poppy rolled toward me, pressing the length of her half-clothed body against mine. "I missed you," she murmured.

Fuck.

My heart.

Her voice.

It calmed me.

I wanted to be a good man who would walk away from what he knew he wasn't worthy or deserving of. The kind Kieran believed I was. The type I had been raised to be. But I wasn't a good man. I was just hers.

"That’s…that’s really sad."

"Some say all great love stories are."

"Some people are stupid." He laughed again.

"Do you know what’s carved into our rings? It’s in old Atlantian," he told me when I shook my head. "Both say the same thing. Always and forever. That is us."

"Yes," I whispered, my throat tightening. "It is."

Meeting Casteel’s gaze, I drew in a deep breath. "I will take the time, but I know my answer won’t change. I want to do the Joining."

"Priestess Analia believes that I should only spend time reading appropriate things, like the histories or prayers."

"Priestess Analia can go fuck herself." Poppy laughed then-it was short and full of surprise but loud and real.

"Then we must seal the deal," he told me. "And do you know how Atlantians seal a deal? They do so with a kiss."

"Really?" I asked doubtfully. "That sounds incredibly problematic."

"Perhaps."

"And it also sounds like a lie."

Casteel nodded. "It is."

Watching him be held by his mother softened every part of me. He was Casteel, the Dark One. He was capable of great strength and terrible violence, and yet, right now, he was only a boy in his mother’s arms.

Several branches sheared off and fell as Reaver descended among the blood trees, his wings spread out wide before snapping back.

Kieran stumbled to the side. "Fucking gods, every time." Wintry-blue eyes flashed. "Tell me he doesn’t do that on purpose."

"I know you want to do something irresponsible and reckless, but you can't kill him," he said.

There was no greeting. No need to ask questions. He knew why I was here. "I'm not going to kill him," I replied. "I'm only going to murder him."

I took the ruby crown Delano handed me. "I want you to deliver that to her. Let her know that I have his crown. It’s mine now. I want you to thank her for me, for teaching me to fight like a god. Tell her that was for Ian."

"I feel like I’m missing something," Valyn murmured.

"You’re not," I said when Casteel opened his mouth, having no idea how no one in Atlantia appeared to know about Willa’s journal. "I promise." Casteel shot me a look, which I ignored.

"I think you’re heartmates."

Emil Da'Lahr was a motherfucker. One either enjoyed being in his presence or spent the entirety of that time plotting various ways to murder him, something I truly believed brought Emil a perverse level of joy.

"Casteel isn’t the only one that matters," I told him as we hurried along under the canopy of jacaranda trees. "So do you, Kieran."

"Lift your ass, my Queen."

A giggle crept free. "That is a sentence that sounds wholly inappropriate."

He grinned, and a hint of a dimple appeared. "I’m sorry. Let me rephrase that. Please lift your ass, my Queen."

#Poppy #Casteel #TCOGB

He raised an eyebrow at me. "You plan to use that?"

"Why does everyone think I’m going to stab them when I pick up anything that’s not blunt?"

"Well," Kieran replied blandly, "you do have a habit of doing exactly that."

#Poppy #Kieran #AKOFAF

[Daily FBAA @dailyfbaa]

Nor was there a taste of regret or confusion from either of them. All I tasted were soft and airy things.

Peace.

I felt their peace.

I felt mine.

"Wolven."

"You can call me that," Kieran inhaled deeply, reigning himself back in. "Or you can call me death. Whichever you'd prefer."

I glanced at him. "Bet you've been waiting all day to say that." Kieran lifted a bloody middle finger.
