Runes, runes, runes... Runes. An inverted Algiz rune. The caption next to it said Chernobog. The Black God. Right. Of course, it wouldn’t be Chernobog, God of Morning Dew on the Rose Petals, but a wom...
Our stares connected and we were quiet for a long minute, united by our misery. At least he understood me and I understood him.A fine pair we make, he said.Yeah.
No, you’re not going with him.I crossed my arms. Who decided that?He put on his I’m alpha and I’m putting my foot down expression. I decided.

Kate? What the hell are you doing here?I live here.Why?Because I'm with him now.Dagfinn looked at Curran. You and her are...?She's my mate, Curran said.Dagfinn swung his axe onto his shoulder. The run...
