My throat tightened. “You really think we could make it work?” It was still a shock to see Damon so open to his brother’s presence. Things really had changed in recent months. I supposed we had all changed.

“I think you’ll never know unless you try.” Damon reached across the desk and covered my hand with his. “You’ve been through hell, Natalia. You’ve survived things that would have broken m

You’ve raised two incredible children on your own and built a new life from nothing.

I sat there in silence for a moment, letting his words sink in. Damon had been n and protector when I had nowhere else to turn. If he thought I should follow my heart, then maybe I should listen.

“Thank you,” I whispered. “For everything. For protecting us, for being honest with me, for…” I gestured helplessly. “For being the brother I never had.”

Damon’s eyes crinkled at the corners. “That’s what family is for.”

Before I could respond, there was a knock at the study door. We both looked up to see Andrei standing in the doorway, dressed in those leathers of his that stretched across his broad shoulders. My pulse spiked at the sight of

him.

“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, green eyes fixed on me. “I’m here for the border check we scheduled.”

Right. The monthly border check. I’d been so caught up in personal drama that I’d nearly forgotten that the alliance still came first.

Damon immediately stood up and began gathering his papers. “Actually, perfect timing. I just remembered I have a… thing. Natalia, would you mind going with Andrei?”

I shot Damon a look, knowing exactly what he was doing. He gave me an innocent smile that didn’t fool anyone.

Damn matchmaker.

“Sure,” I said, standing up. “I can do that.”

“Great.” Damon was already moving toward the door. “I’ll catch up with you both later. Thanks for handling this.”

He disappeared down the hallway, leaving Andrei and me alone in the study. The silence stretched on for a moment. He had quickly dropped me off after our brief visit to the fertility clinic that morning and had sped away, likely to go handle Lilith.

“How are you feeling?” I asked softly. “After this morning, I mean,”

“Angry. Relieved. Confused.” Andrei stepped further into the room. “All of the above.”

“I can imagine. Finding out that Lilith lied about everything…”

“It explains a lot.” His jaw tightened. “Why she was so desperate to keep us apart. Why she reacted so violently when you came back. She knew her whole house of cards was about to come tumbling down.”

“What are you going to do about her?”

“I’ve already done it. She’s been demoted to Omega status and will serve as a maid once she recovers. She’ll be under strict supervision.”

Relief flooded through me. “Good. She can’t hurt anyone else that way.”

“No, she can’t.” Andrei’s eyes softened as he looked at me, and for a moment, it seemed as if he were going to say

But then he cleared his throat and said, “About that patrol…”

“Right.” I grabbed my jacket from the back of Damon’s chair and followed Andre

We stepped outside into the late afternoon sun. The air was crisp with the pr just starting to turn brilliant shades of red and gold. Andrei’s truck was parked.. passenger door open for me.
