heart and protector of this land,”
she replied as Mari stepped forward, letting lose an ear-splitting screech that
hadn’t been heard in thousands of years, affecting all those who were not of
Alston. Kalana took Livi’s hand, stepping forward with her as Other Kin behind Gilfore and Theodoris fled.
“Who the hell are you?”
Gilfore yelled as Theodoris screamed at the folk behind him to hold their positions.
“Are you leaving?” Kalana
lifted her hands when he charged her, sending him back with but a thought.
“Kay?” Drake said from the
sidelines.
“Stay back, it’s out of our
hands now. Get everyone off the front lines. Quickly.”
Kalana stood in the middle of
Mari and Livi.
Theodoris yelled, “Attack!”
and their forces charged.
They three of them lifted
their hands; the energy being dispelled was enormous. She heard screaming and
realized it was the three of them as the land’s power poured through their
bodies, using them as a conduit. Theodoris was thrust backward along with the
entire front line of his forces. Others scattered, and when the powers started
fading, Kalana knew that the threat was gone. “Drake,” she gasped, her knees
giving out as his arms wrapped around her exhausted body.

“That was quite the display
of powers,” Drake muttered as he rolled onto his side when her eyelids fluttered.
“I told you they grew. Livi?”
“Is fine and resting in her
room.”
“Mari?”
“Rhys brought her to his
home. Now, explain to me about these guardians you spoke of and how you
channeled the land’s energy.”
Kalana smiled. “Mari and I
were just the conduit. Your daughter is the real guardian and as she grows, so
will her powers. Mari’s been helping her with control. I’m not sure about the
land and how the energies flow, Mari’s the expert in that and she doesn’t talk
about it much. She says it’s not her place.”
Smiling, he lowered his head
to the crook of her neck, breathing deeply. “Mmm, I can scent my child within
you. Are you happy, Kay? Are you okay with becoming pregnant so soon after our
mating?”
“Yes,” she whispered, her
hand cupping the side of his head. “To both.”
The warmth of his lips
caressed her neck before he lifted his head and met her gaze. “I love you.” Her
soft smile had his heart exploding with joy.
“I love you, my great Lyken
warrior.”
Drake chuckled as he drew her
closer. “So how are we going to handle Mari and Rhys?”
Kalana chuckled as she sat
up, straddling his waist. “I don’t know; let’s figure it out later.” Leaning
down she met his kiss.
