Sebastian blinked.
"Don’t wait," Nicholas said again. "She chose. You said it was free. Then stop making her wait, Just be careful with her. She is carrying more than she knows."
Sebastian nodded.
Once and slowly "I will," he said.
Nicholas looked at Lucian.
Lucian was already looking at him.
"Zev?" Nicholas asked silently.
Lucian exhaled slowly. "Zev says she already knows. That she felt us this morning when she came back. That the bond is already there and we are the ones making her wait for something she has already decided." He paused. "He says we keep treating her like she might break."
"She won’t break," Sebastian said quietly.
"No," Lucian said. "She won’t."
The three of them stood there.
In the noon light with everything sitting between them....the curse and the thought of Victoria approaching the Blackwood territory.
She is theirs.
Everything else was just time they could not afford to waste.
Nicholas looked at both brothers.
"Six weeks," he said.
"Six weeks," Sebastian said.
Lucian nodded once, then said... "Zev wants to know if six weeks means we start now or we keep sitting in this office."
Sebastian made a sound that was almost a laugh.
Nicholas turned back to the window.
"Get out of my office," he said.
He heard both of them walking out of the office, then Lucian stopped at the door.
"She is going to be okay," he said quietly. "When we tell her everything. She is going to be furious and she is going to feel betrayed and then she is going to be okay, because she is stronger than all three of us."
He walked out of the room and the door clicked shut behind him..
Nicholas stood at the window alone.
Felt the warmth that had started blooming since that morning.
He pressed his hand to the glass.
"We will tell her, he said to Kael. When she is protected. When Victoria cannot use it against her. We will tell her everything."
Kael was quiet for a moment.
"Then Do not make her wait too long. She has been waiting her whole life for things to make sense. Do not be another thing she has to wait for." Kael said back to him.
Nicholas looked at the forest.
At the dark line of trees at the edge of the territory.
Somewhere out there Victoria is moving toward his pack to demand that he hands over his mate to her.
Six weeks.
He had six weeks to make sure it doesn’t turn out that way.

Lilith POV
She heard the car slowed down at the gates.
She checked her phone. 3:47pm. Four minutes early.
That was Wren. Always four minutes early. Some things did not change in ten years.
She was already at the top of the front steps when the gates opened and the small grey car came through.
"Wren."
