“What’s going on, Bastien.” I inquire urgently, eyeing Sophie where she huddles in the shower. Lowering the phone for a moment, I lean over and press a kiss to her cheek, “We’ll finish this later.” I promise, hoping she knows I’m not cutting our conversation short because of any lingering feelings for Selene.

Sophie nods, looking far too serious and gnawing her plump lip.

“I love you.” I remind her, relaxing slightly when a wide smile stretches across her lovely countenance, “And no more playing without me.” I order huskily.

Leaving my blushing mate, I stride out into my bedroom. “Go ahead.” I say into the phone.

The other man’s low voice sounds in my ear. “I’m on my way to the Calypso territory,” he explains, “I’ve left Selene and Lila behind, but things are far from resolved in Elysium.” “Then why are you going?” I challenge.

“I don’t have a choice.” He exhales heavily, sounding both ecstatic and overwhelmed with concern all at once. “Selene is with pup.”

Happiness for my friend washes over me, “Congratulations!” i tell him, truly meaning it.

“I can’t say I’m surprised the way you two were going at it, but I’m happy for you.”

“Thank you.” Bastien rumbles. “I don’t like leaving her at all, but especially not in this condition.”

“And especially not when you haven’t yet identified your enemies at home.” I reason aloud.

“Exactly.” He grumbles.

“What can I do to help?” I ask, amazed at how easy it can be to work together with my former adversary now that we’re both happily mated.

“I was wondering if you might be willing to visit Elysium while I’m away. Help keep an eye on things.” There’s a pregnant pause, and I can almost hear the grim gears turning in Bastien’s mind, “And if anything happens to me…”

“Is it that serious?” I press, the horrible image of Selene and Lila mourning the Alpha’s death forcing its way into my unwilling mind.
