John pushed past the kings and entered the bathroom. “If anyone cares, I also feel great.” His dimples flashed. “I need to test something.”

I opened my mouth to ask what he meant, but my question never got out. He gripped my face with both his hands and slammed his lips against mine.

Pinpricks of pain exploded across my spine, and I winced.

“Sorry,” he panted as he wrenched himself away from me. “Shit.” He looked over at his twin. Luka shook his head like he was telling John not to say anything.

Weird.

“Did you feel my pain?” I asked John, worry gnawing at my stomach because of the concerned expression on his face.

He waved his hand dismissively. “No. I didn’t feel anything. The kings were right, our bond doesn’t hurt anymore.” His smile dropped. “But it’s you I’m worried about.”

Relief filled me. “That’s amazing!”

John narrowed his eyes. “No, it’s not. You’re still in pain. That’s what matters.”

The dark circles had receded from his eyes and his olive skin looked healthy. Luka also looked much better.

I felt faint with relief.

The six of our souls were really connected. There was enough power flowing between all of us that my broken soul no longer corrupted the twins.

I wanted to cry.

John winked at me, then slammed his shoulder into Scorpius as he left the bathroom.

Scorpius licked his lips sensually. “I heard you got a skull.”

Those same lips had wrapped around Malum’s cock. They’d kissed Orion as he thrust into him from behind.

“Interesting, my little Revered,” he said. “We’ll see what you can do.”

I drew up to my almost six-foot height. “I’m not little. And we’ll see what you can do, Protector.”

He crossed his arms over his chest, the picture of male satisfaction.

Orion whispered, “You look beautiful, sweetheart.”

“You’re our ice queen,” Malum said reverently, like he couldn’t believe the turn of events.

They stared at me with adoration.

“We need to go!” John yelled with urgency, and the demons shouted in agreement.

Minutes later, I RJE’d with the remaining twenty soldiers back to the last settlement location.

Lavender light shimmered as the sun rose over the valley.

The snow fall was mild.

We climbed up the mountain where the X’s had been drawn. A few hours later, we crested the top.

A flat plateau sprawled between the mountain peaks.

Someone gasped.

Dozens of freestanding structures were sprawled across the flat plain. They were wide and low-roofed. Each one could easily house dozens of infected.
